Pliant Therapeutics announced positive topline data from a 12-week Phase 2a clinical trial of bexotegrast (PLN-74809) in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The study showed that bexotegrast 160 mg led to a reduction in total lung collagen compared to an increase in the placebo group, suggesting potential reversal of fibrosis. Improvements in forced vital capacity (FVC) and reduced cough severity were observed in bexotegrast-treated patients at all timepoints. The drug was well tolerated with no serious adverse events or discontinuations. The trial involved 10 patients, with 7 receiving bexotegrast and 3 on placebo. PET imaging was used to measure changes in lung collagen levels. The primary endpoint was the change in standardized uptake value (SUV) of a PET ligand that binds to type 1 collagen. Bexotegrast-treated patients showed a reduction in SUV, indicating a decrease in lung collagen. Additionally, improvements in fibrosis biomarkers, FVCpp, and patient-reported cough severity were noted.
