However, participants with rheumatoid arthritis ILD are allowed in Cohort 1 and Cohort 2. h)Investigator has considered all available pulmonary fibrosis treatment options prior to obtaining informed consent. Age of Participant Participant must be greater than or equal to 21years of age at the time of signing the ICF  
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  Medical Conditions
a)Diagnosis of IPF confirmed by UIP pattern.
b)Emphysema Greater than or equal to 50% on HRCT assessed by a central reader, or the extent of emphysema is greater than the extent of fibrosis according to reported results from the most recent HRCT
c)Acute exacerbation of pulmonary fibrosis within 4 weeks prior to or during screening.
d)Clinically significant (in the opinion of the investigator)non-parenchymal lung disease (eg,asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cavitary, or pleural diseases)at screening
e)Participants who have: 1) Current malignancy; or 2) A previous malignancy within the past 5years prior to screening are excluded, except for those with a documented history of cured non metastatic squamous cell skin carcinoma, basal cell skin carcinoma, or cervical carcinoma in situ. Participants who have a biopsy that is suspicious for malignancy, and in whom the possibility of malignancy cannot be reasonably excluded following additional clinical, laboratory ,or other diagnostic evaluations, are also excluded.
f)Clinically significant respiratory tract infection (in the opinion of the investigator) (eg, active tuberculosis, infectious pneumonia) within 4 weeks prior to screening or during screening. Additionally, in the case of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection, symptoms must have completely resolved and based on investigator assessment in consultation with the Medical Monitor, there are no sequelae that would place the participant at a higher risk of receiving investigational treatment.

h)Exhibit symptoms of heart failure at rest.
i)History of lung reduction surgery or lung transplant. Note:being on transplantation list is
allowed.
j)Participant has known pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) that requires multi-drug
