Pilot Study of Pirfenidone in Pulmonary Fibrosis With Anti-myeloperoxydase Antibodies
France7 participantsStarted 2018-01-31
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to determine wether pirfenidone is safe and effective in the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis with anti-myeloperoxydase (MPO) antibodies or pulmonary fibrosis with anti-MPO associated vasculitis.
