8. Subjects must be in a stable condition and acceptable for study participation based upon the results of a medical history, physical examination, vital signs, 12-lead ECG, and laboratory evaluation.
9. Subjects must have an estimated minimum life expectancy of 12 months in the opinion of the investigator.

Note: A first degree heart block will not be considered as a significant abnormality.
5. Subjects with acute IPF exacerbation within 6 weeks prior to screening and during the screening period.

9. Subjects with a history of lung volume reduction surgery or lung transplant.

a. unstable angina pectoris, myocardial infarction
b. congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization
11. Subjects with any clinical condition or circumstance that in the opinion of the investigator may make a subject unsuitable for inclusion or unable to complete the study or comply with study procedures and requirements.
12. Subjects with a contra-indication for bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage in the opinion of the investigator.
13. Subjects with an abnormal liver function defined as aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), or bilirubin >3 x upper limit of the normal range (ULN).
14. Subjects with an abnormal renal function defined as creatinine clearance < 50 mL/min using the Cockroft-Gault equation.
15. Subjects participating in a drug/device or biologic investigational research study (concurrently with the current study or within 8 weeks prior to screening).
