Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
-To investigate the possibility that some IPF patients experience increased IL-13 production. Blood samples to be collected pre-dose and weekly after dosing. -To investigate the hypothesis that QAX576 will neutralize IL-13 in patients with IPFWeek 1,2,3 and 4

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
-To evaluate the changes in biomarkers in blood over time in patients with IPF. Serum samples will be obtained at pre-dose and 2 weeks post-dose.Week 3
