About this trial
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic lung disease that affects an individual's ability to breathe. Currently, no medications can reverse the damage to the lungs caused by IPF, but individuals are encouraged to engage in moderate exercise to strengthen lung function. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of sildenafil at improving exercise tolerance and breathing difficulties in individuals with IPF.
