Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about INS018\_055 in adults with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of INS018\_055 orally administered for up to 12 weeks in adult subjects with IPF compared to placebo.

TEAEs were either events with start date on or after the start of the Treatment Period and up to 17 days after EOT (end of treatment), or events with start date prior to the start of the Treatment Period whose severity worsened on or after the start of the Treatment Period and up to 17 days after EOT. CTCAE=Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events

Time frame: From first dose of study drug until end of study (EOS) visit i.e. up to 13 weeks (+10 days)

Population: Safety Population: The safety population included all participants who received at least 1 dose of study treatment.
