  Purpose

The ARTEMIS-IPF study is for people who have been diagnosed with IPF and are between 40-80 years of age. People who have been diagnosed early in the disease may be more responsive to treatment. This is a randomized study (which means the participants will be selected by chance (like flipping a coin) to receive one of two treatments (ambrisentan or placebo). This is a double-blind study which means participants and their study doctor won't know what treatment they are assigned to receive. Participants will have 2 out of 3 chances to receive ambrisentan, or 1 out of 3 chances to receive placebo (which is a tablet that looks like the active medicine but contains no active medicine)Taking part in the study could be up to 4 years depending on how long it takes to enroll and observe study events. After randomization, visits take place every 3 months. Laboratory visits occur every month.
