NCT07284602

/ RecruitingPhase 3

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Head-to-Head Phase 3 Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of LYT-100 (Deupirfenidone) Compared to Pirfenidone at 52 Weeks in Adults With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (SURPASS-IPF)

This is a study for adults with a lung disease called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The main purpose of this study is to look at how well deupirfenidone improves lung function and how safe it is for people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) when compared with pirfenidone. Participants may have been treated with an approved antifibrotic drug for up to a year in the past, but they cannot be on background antifibrotic treatment during this study. Participants will be randomly assigned (meaning by chance) to take either deupirfenidone or pirfenidone 3 times a day, and neither a participant nor their study team will know which study drug participants are on. Participants will be in the study for up to approximately 3 years. During the first year, participants visit the study site up to ten times and afterwards they visit the site every three months. All participants will remain on blinded study drug until the last participant has completed Week 52 Visit. They will have lung function tests, a check of their health, and will tell the study team about any unfavorable effects.

Deupirfenidone compared with pirfenidone and placebo in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (ELEVATE-IPF): a phase 2b randomized placebo-controlled trial

Article

Abstract:

Rationale:

Deupirfenidone is a strategically deuterated form of pirfenidone that retains pharmacodynamic activity but has a differentiated pharmacokinetic profile that may enable improved efficacy and favorable tolerability in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

Objectives:

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of deupirfenidone compared with placebo and pirfenidone in patients with IPF.

Methods:

Patients were randomized 1:1:1:1 to deupirfenidone 550 mg TID, deupirfenidone 825 mg TID, pirfenidone 801 mg TID, or placebo. The primary endpoint was the rate of change in forced vital capacity (FVC) for the combined arms of deupirfenidone versus placebo at 26 weeks. The primary and secondary analyses used Bayesian and frequentist approaches, respectively.

Measurements and Main Results:

A total of 257 patients with IPF were randomized, and the proportion on treatment at the end of the study was 80.0%, 68.3%, 64.6%, and 78.1% for the placebo, pirfenidone, deupirfenidone 550 mg, and deupirfenidone 825 mg arms, respectively. Posterior mean change in FVC for placebo was -110.71 mL (95% credible interval (CI), -148.75, -70.98), and for the combined deupirfenidone arms was -48.42 mL (95% CI, -87.66, -9.04) with a posterior mean difference of 62.29 mL (95% CI l, -6.13, 115.73; posterior probability, 0.985). Using a frequentist approach, the adjusted mean change in FVC for the placebo arm was -112.5 mL (95% CI, -167.2, -57.8), and for the deupirfenidone 825 mg arm was -21.5 mL (95% CI, -78.2, 35.1); the adjusted mean difference was 91.0 mL (95% CI, 12.2, 169.7; P = .02). The most common adverse events for each active treatment arm were gastrointestinal.

Conclusions:

In patients with IPF, treatment with deupirfenidone slowed lung disease progression over 26 weeks.

Trial Registration:

Clinicaltrials.gov number NCT05321420.

A phase 1 pharmacokinetics study of deupirfenidone (LYT-100) in healthy older adults

Article

Author: Michael C. Chen ; Camilla S. Graham ; Eric Elenko ; Chris C. Korth ; Toby M. Maher ; Mark D. Harnett ; Varun Garg

Background:

Deupirfenidone, a selectively deuterated form of pirfenidone, is being developed for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), where tolerability limits current antifibrotic use. Deupirfenidone retains the biological activity of pirfenidone, and the differentiated pharmacokinetic (PK) profile may be associated with improved tolerability.

Methods:

A phase 1, three-part, randomised, double-blind study was conducted to identify phase 2 doses. The safety, tolerability, steady-state PK and food effect profile of deupirfenidone were assessed in healthy older adults. Part 1 was a crossover study comparing deupirfenidone 850 mg twice daily to pirfenidone 801 mg three times daily. Part 2 was a crossover study comparing deupirfenidone 550 mg three times daily to pirfenidone 801 mg three times daily. Part 3 was a parallel study of deupirfenidone 550 mg three times daily titrated to deupirfenidone 824 mg three times daily versus placebo.

Results:

Deupirfenidone 850 mg twice daily met the equivalence criterion to pirfenidone 801 mg three times daily for area-under-the-curve (AUC); however, maximum measured concentration ( Cmax ) and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were higher with deupirfenidone. Deupirfenidone 550 mg three times daily met equivalence criterion to pirfenidone 801 mg three times daily for AUC; however, Cmax was lower. Frequency of gastrointestinal (GI) and nervous system (NS) TEAEs for deupirfenidone in the fed state was 40% lower than for pirfenidone. When deupirfenidone was titrated from 550 mg three times daily to 824 mg three times daily, PK parameters increased without increases in GI or NS TEAEs.

Conclusions:

Results suggest evaluating a dose for deupirfenidone in healthy older adults of between 550 mg three times daily and 825 mg three times daily. Both doses are being evaluated in a 26-week, phase 2b study in patients with IPF.

Deupirfenidone (LYT-100) in post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 with respiratory complications

Article

Author: Harnett, Mark ; Santiaguel, Joel ; Krop, Julie ; Aul, Raminder ; Chen, Michael C ; Kulkarni, Tejaswini ; Maher, Toby M ; Graham, Camilla S

Introduction:

The pathophysiology of respiratory complications in post-acute sequelae of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection (PASC) is poorly understood, but a high incidence of progressive pulmonary fibrosis was anticipated. Deupirfenidone (LYT-100) is a selectively deuterated form of pirfenidone that retains antifibrotic and anti-inflammatory activity but with improved tolerability. This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of deupirfenidone in PASC patients with respiratory complications.

Methods:

Global, double-blind, randomised placebo-controlled trial evaluating 750 mg deupirfenidone twice daily versus placebo for 3 months in PASC patients with respiratory complications following hospitalisation for acute COVID-19 infection severe enough to necessitate supplemental oxygen (NCT04652518).

Results:

185 patients were randomised and treated (95 with deupirfenidone, 90 with placebo), with 177 included in the modified intention-to-treat population. The mean age was 54.5 years, 62.7% were male and 10.7% had prior mechanical ventilation. The 6-min walk distance improved across both arms between baseline and day 91 (deupirfenidone 44.3 m (95% CI 24.8–63.8 m) versus placebo 48.8 m (95% CI 29.2–68.4 m); p=0.70). The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) for deupirfenidone versus placebo were nausea (9.5% versus 1.1%), upper abdominal discomfort (5.3% versus 2.2%) and dyspepsia (6.3% versus 1.1%). TEAEs leading to trial drug discontinuation were 11.6% for deupirfenidone and 4.4% for placebo. The proportion of discontinuations considered at least possibly related to treatment was 8.6% for deupirfenidone and 2.4% for placebo.

Discussion:

Most patients with PASC and respiratory complications showed significant improvement over 91 days irrespective of treatment assignment. Deupirfenidone was well tolerated, with low rates of TEAEs, which supports further investigation in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Celea Therapeutics Presents SURPASS-IPF Phase 3 Trial Design and Statistical Considerations for Evaluating Clinical Trials in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis at the IPF Summit 2026

SURPASS-IPF is the first industry-sponsored Phase 3 head-to-head trial comparing an investigational drug to an approved antifibrotic in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) Considerations of statistical methods illustrate how analytical choices affect perceptions of efficacy, highlighting differences in parametric and non-parametric approaches BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Celea Therapeutics, Inc. ("Celea" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing differentiated therapies for serious respiratory diseases with significant unmet medical need, today announced that the Company will deliver two poster presentations showcasing its deupirfenidone (LYT-100) program at the IPF Summit, taking place in Boston, MA, from September 29 to October 1, 2026. Deupirfenidone is an investigational therapy in Phase 3 development with the potential to serve as a new standard of care for the treatment of IPF. The first poster will detail the design and rationale for SURPASS-IPF, Celea’s global Phase 3 trial evaluating the potential superiority of deupirfenidone 825 mg three times daily (TID) versus pirfenidone 801 mg TID. SURPASS-IPF is the first industry-sponsored Phase 3 head-to-head trial comparing an investigational drug to an approved antifibrotic in patients with IPF. The second poster will examine statistical considerations for evaluating forced vital capacity (FVC), a widely used measure of disease progression and primary endpoint in many IPF clinical trials, including SURPASS-IPF, with a focus on how analytical choices may affect perceptions of efficacy. “Building on positive Phase 2b results, SURPASS-IPF takes an important next step by directly comparing deupirfenidone to pirfenidone in IPF,” said Sven Dethlefs, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Celea. “We are applying carefully considered statistical methods to rigorously evaluate whether deupirfenidone is superior to a current standard of care, with the goal of generating clear, robust evidence that can help advance treatment for people living with IPF.” Details of the presentations are as follows: Title: SURPASS-IPF: Study Design of a Phase 3, Head-to-Head Trial of Deupirfenidone Versus Pirfenidone in Patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Presenter: Toby Maher, M.D., Ph.D., Director of Interstitial Lung Disease, Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California Session: Afternoon Break & Poster Session Date and Time: September 30, 2026, 4:00 PM EDT Title: Statistical Consideration of the Phase 3 Deupirfenidone vs Pirfenidone Trial: SURPASS-IPF Presenter: Toby Maher, M.D., Ph.D., Director of Interstitial Lung Disease, Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California Session: Afternoon Break & Poster Session Date and Time: September 30, 2026, 4:00 PM EDT About SURPASS-IPF SURPASS-IPF ( NCT07284602 ) is a global, randomized, double-blind, head-to-head Phase 3 trial evaluating the superiority of deupirfenidone 825 mg TID over pirfenidone 801 mg TID in approximately 1,100 adults living with IPF who are not receiving background antifibrotic therapy. The primary endpoint is change from baseline in absolute FVC at Week 52. For more information, please visit . About Deupirfenidone (LYT-100) Deupirfenidone (LYT-100) is in Phase 3 development as a potential new standard of care for the treatment of IPF and has been granted Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Commission. It is an investigational, next-generation antifibrotic and a deuterated form of pirfenidone, one of three FDA-approved therapies for IPF. The uptake of and adherence to approved antifibrotics has historically been limited by a tradeoff between modest efficacy and tolerability, and only ~25% of people with IPF in the U.S. had ever received treatment as of 2019. [1] Deupirfenidone may overcome these limitations. In the global Phase 2b ELEVATE IPF trial, published in The American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine ( AJRCCM ), deupirfenidone demonstrated the potential to stabilize lung function decline over at least 26 weeks as a monotherapy while maintaining a favorable safety and tolerability profile. Initial data from the open-label extension trial suggest this effect may be sustained through at least 52 weeks. These findings support the potential for deupirfenidone to offer a meaningful advance for people living with this progressive and deadly disease. Beyond IPF, deupirfenidone may also address multiple underserved fibrotic conditions, including progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases. About Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) IPF is a rare, progressive, and fatal lung disease characterized by irreversible scarring of lung tissue that leads to a steady decline in lung function. Median survival following diagnosis is estimated to be two to five years, [2] and currently there is no cure. About Celea Therapeutics Celea Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing differentiated therapies for serious respiratory diseases with significant unmet medical need. Celea’s therapeutic candidate, deupirfenidone, is an investigational next-generation oral antifibrotic therapy being evaluated in a Phase 3 clinical program for IPF, a progressive and fatal lung disease. Building on the established antifibrotic foundation of pirfenidone, deupirfenidone is being developed with the goal of improving outcomes for people living with IPF and potentially other progressive fibrotic interstitial lung diseases. ____________________ [1] Dempsey, T.
