On February 7, 2025, Pliant issued a press release "announc[ing] that following a prespecified data review and recommendations by the trial's independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB), the Company has voluntarily paused enrollment and dosing in the ongoing BEACON-IPF Phase 2b trial of bexotegrast in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)."
