* Forced expiratory volume in 1 second/FVC ratio >= 0.7
* Able to do 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) >= 150 meters
* For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent or use a non-hormonal or hormonal contraceptive method with a failure rate of < 1% per year during the treatment period and for at least 90 days after the last dose of pirfenidone
* For men, agreement to remain abstinent or use contraceptive measures, and agreement to refrain from donating sperm

* Planned major surgery during the trial
* Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients of pirfenidone
* History of angioedema
* Concomitant use of fluvoxamine
* Clinical evidence of any active infection
* Any history of hepatic impairment, elevation of transaminase enzymes, or liver function test results as: Total bilirubin above the upper limit of normal (ULN), Aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase >1.5 × ULN, and Alkaline phosphatase >2.0 × ULN
* Creatinine clearance < 30 milliliter (mL) per minute, calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula
* Any serious medical condition, clinically significant abnormality on an Electrocardiogram (ECG) at screening, or laboratory test results
* An ECG with a heart rate corrected QT interval using Fridericia's formula as >= 500 milliseconds at screening, or a family or personal history of long QT syndrome
