A Study in People With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis to Test Whether Pirfenidone Influences the Amount of BI 1015550 in the Blood
NCT06241560 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This study is open to adults with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) who are 40 years and older. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called pirfenidone changes the amount of a medicine called BI 1015550 in the blood. Some people may take more than one medicine at a time. Therefore, it is important to understand how different medicines influence one another. Participants take one dose of BI 1015550 as a tablet. Participants then take one tablet of pirfenidone 3 times a day for one week. The dose is then increased to 2 tablets 3 times a day for the second week. In the third week the dose is increased further to 3 tablets 3 times a day. Participants then take another dose of BI 1015550 as a tablet. Participants are in the study for a little over 1 month. During this time, they visit the study site 15 times. Two of the visits include overnight stays at the study site. The study staff also contacts the participants by phone. During the visits, the doctors collect information about participants' health and take blood samples from the participants. They compare the amount of pirfenidone and BI 1015550 in the blood. Doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06241560
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06241560 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 2, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 20 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Boehringer Ingelheim, which has 203 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Pirfenidone is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06241560 reports 3 study locations spanning 2 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Other, Texas. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
