Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The main objective of the trial will be to assess safety and tolerability of combined treatment with nintedanib and pirfenidone;Secondary Objective: A secondary objective is to assess the exposure, based on pharmacokinetic trough concentration values, to nintedanib either given alone or in combination with pirfenidone and to assess the assess the exposure of pirfenidone when combined with nintedanib;Primary end point(s): 1: The primary endpoint is the percentage of patients with on-treatment gastrointestinal (GI) AEs (SOC GI disorders) from baseline to week 12 ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1: 12 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1: Pre-dose plasma concentrations at steady state (Cpre,ss) of nintedanib at baseline, weeks 2 and 4 2: Pre-dose plasma concentrations at steady state (Cpre,ss) of pirfenidone at weeks 2 and 4. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1: baseline, week 2 and week 4 2: week 2 and week 4
