Inclusion criteria

  • Radiologic evidence of pulmonary fibrosis of >10% extent on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) in the previous 12 months.
  • Diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD) (other than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [IPF]) that fulfills at least 1 of the following criteria for progression within 24 months of screening despite standard treatment of ILD, as assessed by the Investigator:

    • decline in % predicted Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) based on ≥10% relative decline
    • Decline in % predicted FVC based on ≥5% to \<10% relative decline combined with worsening of respiratory symptoms
    • Decline in % predicted FVC based on ≥5% to \<10% relative decline combined with an increasing extent of fibrotic changes on chest imaging
    • Worsening of respiratory symptoms and increasing extent of fibrotic changes on chest imaging
  • Forced Vital Capacity ≥45% predicted at Screening.
  • Diffusing Capacity of the Lungs for Carbon Monoxide (DLCO) ≥25% of predicted normal corrected for at Screening.
  • Participants may be either:

    • On stable therapy (defined as no dose changes in the prior 12 weeks) with an approved antifibrotic agent (eg, nintedanib or nerandomilast) for at least 12 weeks prior to Screening and during the screening period and are planning to stay on this background treatment throughout the study. Combination therapy with more than 1 approved antifibrotic agent is not allowed. Or
    • Not on treatment with an approved antifibrotic agent (eg, nintedanib or nerandomilast) for at least 8 weeks prior to Screening and during the screening period (ie, either antifibrotic-treatment-naïve or previously discontinued) and do not plan to start or restart antifibrotic treatment during the study.
  • If treated with rituximab, must be on it for at least 6 months before Screening and in the Investigator's clinical opinion must be to the current regimen. If treated with other agents (eg, mycophenolate, methotrexate, azathioprine, oral ), need to be on treatment for at least 12 weeks before Screening and in the investigator's clinical opinion must be refractory to the current regimen.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prebronchodilator (FEV1)/Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) \<0.7 and less than the age-adjusted lower limit of normal at Screening.
  • Diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
  • Diagnosis of combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema.
  • Extent of emphysema greater than fibrosis on HRCT within 1 year prior to Screening or during the screening period confirmed by central overread.
  • Acute ILD exacerbation within 90 days prior to Screening or during the screening period (investigator-determined). If hospitalized for a respiratory indication, participants must have been discharged more than 90 days prior to Screening to be eligible.
  • Acute respiratory infection (eg, COVID-19, influenza, pneumonia) within 30 days prior to Screening or during the Screening period.
  • Acute pulmonary embolism within 90 days prior to Screening.
  • Prior TPIP exposure or participation in other clinical trials involving the study drug, TPIP.
  • Known or to treprostinil or TPIP or TPIP formulation (eg, mannitol, leucine).
  • History of pulmonary hypertension (PH) (ie, pulmonary hypertension requiring medical treatment) or the participant has received any PH-approved therapy, including prostacyclin analogs (eg, beraprost, epoprostenol, iloprost, or treprostinil; except for acute vasoreactivity testing), prostacyclin receptor (IP receptor) agonists (eg, selexipag), endothelin receptor antagonists (eg, ambrisentan, bosentan, or macitentan), activin signaling inhibitors (eg, sotatercept), phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5-Is; eg, sildenafil, tadalafil), or soluble guanylate cyclase stimulators (eg, riociguat) within 60 days prior to Screening or during the screening period. As needed use of a PDE5-I for erectile dysfunction is permitted, provided that no doses are taken within 48 hours prior to any study-related efficacy assessments.
  • Any physical limitation that would impair the participant's use of the inhaler device or ability to participate in spirometry and/or DLCO assessment.

Note: Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(9)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

FEV1

From a breathing test (spirometry): how much air you can blow out in the first second. Often given as a percentage of what is expected for your age, height and sex.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

Timeline

1 registry update since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Dec 2026; primary completion for Aug 2030, 44 months later.

Of 36 phase 3 interventional studies under Lung Diseases, Interstitial, half reached primary completion within 33 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 29 and three quarters within 61. This study's planned 44 months is above that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
