Testing a Study Drug BMS-986278 for People with Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis

Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis is a disease scarring the lungs causing shortness of breath. The disease worsens over time. This study will test a study drug called BMS-986278 to treat people with this disease. The study wants to see if the drug will help people with the disease and is safe. People in the study will be randomly chosen the be treated with BMS-986278 or a placebo. The placebo looks like the study drug but does not have the medication. Being in the study requires at least 13 in-person study visits at the study clinic for the first 52 weeks then every 12 weeks after up to 4 years. Medical tests will be done to track the health of participants.
