Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria:

- clinically stable, as defined by stable hemodynamic status, optimized medical
treatment, no changes in medication dosage or frequency of administration with no
hospital admissions in the preceding 6 weeks;

- Mild or absent mechanical restriction as determined by a total lung capacity (TLC)
>70% predicted;

- male or female non-pregnant adults >40 years of age;

- ability to perform all study procedures and provide informed consent.

- A key IPF inclusion criterion includes, in addition to the above, a clinical diagnosis
of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Exclusion criteria:

- women of childbearing potential who are pregnant or trying to become pregnant;

- computed tomography evidence of any (significant) emphysema

- evidence of airway obstruction (forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity
<0.70,

- active cardiopulmonary disease (other than IPF) or other comorbidities that could
contribute to dyspnea and exercise limitation;

- history/clinical evidence of asthma, atopy and/or nasal polyps;

- currently taking phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors;

- important contraindications to clinical exercise testing, including inability to
exercise because of neuromuscular or musculoskeletal disease(s);

- body mass index (BMI) <18.5 or =35.0 kg/m2;

- use of daytime oxygen or exercise-induced O2 desaturation (<80% on room air).
