      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: A simple randomization method is used, in which the randomization unit is individual, and random sequence generation software (Random Number Generator software) is used. For concealment, non-transparent sealed envelopes with a random sequence is used . In this method, each random number created is recorded on a card and the cards are placed inside the envelopes in order.In order to maintain the random sequence of the envelopes on the outer surface, the numbering is done in the same order. Finally, the lids of the envelopes are glued and placed in a box. At the time of registration of the participants, based on the order of entry of the eligible participants into the study, one of the envelopes will be opened and the allocated group of that participant will be revealed, Blinding description: This will be a double-blind study in which the participants and the researcher who evaluates the effectiveness of the drug will be unaware of the outcome of the variables. For this purpose, a capsule with the same shape, size, color and smell as the Deep Long Support capsule will be used as a placebo.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: In addition to pirfenidone tablets, each subject in the intervention group will take an oral deep lung support capsule three times a day with water. The way to take pirfenidone is that each capsule contains 267 mg of medicine, the first week: 267 mg capsules three times a day (801 mg daily) the second week: 534 mg capsules three times a day (1602 mg daily) and from the third week onwards (maintenance treatment): 801 mg three times a day (maximum allowed daily dose: 2403 mg) will be prescribed to the patient. Intervention 2: Control group: In this group, in addition to pirfenidone tablets, there will be a placebo that contains cellulose and will be similar to deep lung support capsules in terms of shape, size and taste. One capsule will be given to the patient three times a day.The way to take pirfenidone is that each capsule contains 267 mg of medicine, the first week: 267 mg capsules three times a day (801 mg daily) the second week: 534 mg capsules three times a day (1602 mg daily) and from the third week onwards (maintenance treatment): 801 mg three times a day (maximum allowed daily dose: 2403 mg) will be prescribed to the patient.</i_freetext>
