Design: This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study that includes a 28-day Screening Period, a 24-week Treatment Period, and 4-week Follow-up Period. Study Assessments: Up to 9 visits to the study clinic will be required.

A Phase 1, Open-Label Study to Evaluate Pharmacokinetics and Drug-drug Interactions of ENV-101 in Healthy Participants

Summary: The purposes of this study are to: 1. evaluate potential interactions between taladegib (ENV-101) and current standard-of-care (SOC) therapies for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), including nintedanib and pirfenidone, and 2. more fully characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of taladegib (i.e., how the body absorbs, distributes, metabolizes and excretes taladegib). This study will enroll 4 coho...

3.1Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The safety of OFEV was evaluated in over 1000 IPF patients, 332 patients with chronic fibrosing ILDs with a progressive phenotype, and over 280 patients with SSc-ILD. Over 200 IPF patients were exposed to OFEV for more than 2 years in clinical trials.
3.2Postmarketing Experience
The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of OFEV. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Blood and Lymphatic System Disorders: Thrombocytopenia
Gastrointestinal Disorders: Pancreatitis
Hepatobiliary Disorders: Drug-induced liver injury
Nervous System Disorders: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome
Renal and Urinary Disorders: Proteinuria
Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: Pruritus, rash
Vascular Disorders: Non-serious and serious bleeding events, some of which were fatal
4OVERDOSAGE
In IPF trials, one patient was inadvertently exposed to a dose of 600 mg daily for a total of 21 days. A non-serious adverse event (nasopharyngitis) occurred and resolved during the period of incorrect dosing, with no onset of other reported events. Overdosage was also reported in two patients in oncology studies who were exposed to a maximum of 600 mg twice daily for up to 8 days. Adverse events reported were consistent with the existing safety profile of OFEV. Both patients recovered. In case of overdosage, interrupt treatment and initiate general supportive measures as appropriate.
