- Rate of Percent Change (Relative to Baseline per 4 Week Interval) in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) Through Week 52 [ Time Frame: Baseline through Week 52 ]The FVC is one component of pulmonary function testing, done with a spirometer.
- Time to Disease Progression [ Time Frame: Baseline through Week 52 ]The time to disease progression is defined as the time in days from randomization to occurrence of acute idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) exacerbation or lung transplantation or all-cause mortality, whichever occurs first.
- Absolute Change From Baseline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at Week 52 [ Time Frame: Baseline through Week 52 ]The FVC is one component of pulmonary function testing, done with a spirometer.
- Relative Change From Baseline in Diffusing Capacity of the Lung for Carbon Monoxide (DLCO) at Week 52 [ Time Frame: Baseline through Week 52 ]The DLCO is a sensitive lung function parameter and is performed to determine how well oxygen passes from the air sacs of the lungs into the blood.
- Change From Baseline in St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Total Score at Week 52 [ Time Frame: Baseline through Week 52 ]The SGRQ is a 76-item questionnaire designed to measure the impact of respiratory disease and its treatment on the participants' health outcomes. The SGRQ is divided into 3 components: 1) symptoms, 2) activity limitations and 3) Impacts on social and psychological functioning.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 40 Years to 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) >= (greater than or equal to) 50% of the predicted value at screening
- Abnormal lung function test results that include evidence of restriction and impaired gas exchange, or evidence of desaturation at rest or exercise or decreased diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO)
- Bibasilar reticular abnormalities with minimal ground-glass opacities on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans
- Have surgical lung biopsy evidence of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) and/or HRCT scan-based diagnosis of IPF
- Relative decrease of >= 10% in forced vital capacity (FVC), or relative decrease of >= 15% in DLCO, or evidence of clinically significant worsening on HRCT (eg, development of honeycombing, increase in opacities), or significant worsening of dyspnea at rest or with exertion.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Have evidence of interstitial pneumonia other than IPF
- Diagnosis of IPF is not confirmed by HRCT or lung biopsy results
- Partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) < 55 mmHg (sea level) or 50 mmHg (altitude) at rest on room air
- Have a diagnosis of other significant respiratory disorder (eg, asthma, tuberculosis (TB), sarcoidosis, aspergillosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD], or cystic fibrosis)
- Have obstruction on prebronchodilator pulmonary function tests (PFTs) (defined as FEV1/FVC < 0.7) at screening or demonstrate an increase in FEV1 >= 12% postbronchodilator.
