Eligible participants will have their final dose of drug at the end of study visit from the lead-in study and first AP-LTE-008 study visit on the same day.
View original scientific description
This is an open-label extension study for participants who were previously enrolled in and completed an Avalyn Pharma Sponsored study with an inhaled antifibrotic, such as AP01.

Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Previously participated in an Avalyn-sponsored inhaled antifibrotic clinical study for subjects with either idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) (IPF subjects are excluded from the US and Canada) or progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) and with the approval of the Study Physician. Previous participation is defined as: Having completed the final visit of the Treatment Period on the full dose of study drug (either active or placebo).
- Male subjects and female subjects of childbearing potential (FOCBP) agree to use highly effective contraception measures from the time of first dose of study drug (for the male subject) or the signing of the informed consent form (ICF) (for the female subject), during the study, and until 90 days after the last dose of study drug. Subjects agree not to donate eggs or sperm during the same period.
Exclusion criteria
- Have not previously participated in an Avalyn-sponsored inhaled antifibrotic lead-in study or if the subject was permanently discontinued from the lead-in study for any reason. Subjects who discontinued study drug but continued to attend study visits are ineligible.
- Subjects who experienced an exacerbation of asthma or of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) requiring oral or systemic corticosteroids within 3 months of Day 1 (Screening/Baseline Visit).
- Subjects who experienced an acute exacerbation of IPF (IPF subjects are excluded from the US and Canada) or of PPF within 3 months of Day 1 (Screening/Baseline Visit).
- Participation in a concurrent clinical study or in a clinical study in which any other investigational drug product aside from the Avalyn nebulized antifibrotic medication from their lead-in study was administered within the previous 30 days, or 5 half-lives of the previously administered investigational product, whichever is shorter.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
