Summary
Primary Objective: To assess in adult patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) the safety and tolerability of ascending doses of SAR156597 administered subcutaneously (SC) once weekly over a 6-week period. Secondary Objectives: To assess in adult patients with IPF: - The pharmacodynamic effects of SAR156597, as measured on pulmonary function tests (PFTs), pulse oximetry and patient reported outcome and peripheral blood biomarkers. - The trough plasma concentrations of SAR156597 - The potential immunogenicity of SAR156597.

- Evidence of any clinically significant, severe or unstable, acute or chronically
progressive medical (other than IPF) or surgical disorder, or any condition that may
affect patient safety in the judgment of the investigator
