Explore an Innovative IPF Trial
Promising research suggests improved clinical outcomes in IPF patients treated with antibiotics.
The Cleanup IPF Trial is investigating antibiotics and is open to participants.
“We have an opportunity to lead the investigative community in a new format for study design while providing patients a cost effective, simple and well tolerated therapeutic approach that may not only improve outcomes but also quality of life.”
– Dr. Fernando Martinez, MD, one of the lead investigators for CleanUP IPFParticipating Medical Centers
