A Study to Find an Efficacious and Safe Dose of CHF10067 (Zampilimab) in Participants With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (ZAPPHIRE)

September 1, 2026 updated by: Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A.

A Phase IIb, Multicentre, Randomised, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled, Three-arm Parallel-group Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability at Week 24 of 2 Doses of CHF10067 (Zampilimab),in Participants With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability at Week 24 of 2 doses of CHF10067 (zampilimab) in participants with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

It is a phase IIb, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, three-arm parallel-group study.

A total of 240 participants with IPF (Idiomatic Pulmonary Fibrosis) will be randomised in approximately 150 investigational sites in North and Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Informed consent: Participant's written informed consent obtained prior to any study-related procedure.
  • Sex and age: Male or female, of any race and ethnicity, aged ≥40 years with a life expectancy of at least 1 year at screening in the opinion of the Investigator.
  • Body weight ≥45 kg.
  • Diagnosis of IPF: Diagnosis as defined by the 2018 and 2022 American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society/Japanese Respiratory Society/Latin American Thoracic Society Guidelines for a maximum 8 years before screening. The most recent High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) ≤6 months prior to screening, reviewed by central reading, should be used to confirm the diagnosis.
  • Lung function: FVC ≥45% of predicted normal value and a ratio of forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1)/FVC ≥0.7 at screening.
  • Diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) corrected for haemoglobin ≥25% of predicted normal at screening.
  • Oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry (peripheral capillary oxygen saturation [SpO2]) >90% at rest when the maximum oxygen flow is 4 L/min by standard nasal cannula or the equivalent oxygen delivery via reservoir nasal cannula (≤2 L/min).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participant with a documented diagnosis of coeliac disease.
  • Low respiratory tract infection: Documented low respiratory tract infection in the last 4 weeks prior to screening or documented acute exacerbation of IPF (defined as acute worsening or development of dyspnoea typically <1 month duration;
  • Lung cancer: Active diagnosis or history of lung cancer.
  • Emphysema: HRCT (refer to inclusion criterion [Diagnosis of IPF]), reviewed by central reading, shows the presence of emphysema ≥20% or that the extent of emphysema is greater than the extent of fibrosis.
  • Organ transplantation: End-stage fibrotic disease expected to require organ transplantation within 6 months from screening.
  • Other medical conditions: Clinically relevant and uncontrolled pulmonary (including any non-IPF pulmonary diagnosis), cardiac, hepatic, gastrointestinal, renal, endocrine, metabolic, neurologic, psychiatric disorders, active or untreated latent tuberculosis/tuberculosis infection that may interfere with the participant's ability to complete this study according to the Investigator's judgement.
  • Any other comorbid non-IPF pulmonary condition that may impact FVC according to the Investigator's judgement. Emphysema is allowed, unless it meets the above exclusion criterion regarding emphysema.
  • Participant currently treated, or been treated with cytotoxic and immunosuppressant/modulator drugs within 48 weeks prior to screening. Systemic (IV, intramuscular, or oral) corticosteroids prednisone- equivalent dose of >10 mg/day used for >10 days.
  • Hypersensitivity: Known intolerance and/or hypersensitivity to any of the excipients contained in the formulation or any other substance used in the study.
  • History of allergic or anaphylactic reaction to human, humanised, chimeric immunoglobulins (Igs), or murine monoclonal antibodies.

L PF is a patient-reported questionnaire designed to assess health-related quality of life in participants with progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD). The questionnaire comprises two distinct modules: L PF symptoms (23 items) and L PF impacts (21 items). The symptoms module assesses shortness of breath, cough, and fatigue over the past 24 hours. The impacts module assesses multiple aspects of health-related quality of life with a recall period of one week. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating worse symptoms and poorer quality of life. A negative change from baseline indicated better symptoms and better quality of life.
At Weeks 12 and 24
