Effect of nintedanib on biomarkers

A 12-week, double blind, randomised, placebo controlled, parallel group trial followed by a single active arm phase of 40 weeks evaluating the effect of oral nintedanib 150 mg twice daily on change in biomarkers of extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and limited forced vital capacity (FVC) impairment.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - ALT, AST > 1.5 fold upper limit of normal (ULN) at visit 1; - Total bilirubin > 1.5 fold ULN at visit 1; - Patients with underlying chronic liver disease (Child Pugh A, B or C hepatic impairment); - Relevant airways obstruction (i.e. pre-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC 2 at visit 1; -- Prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) > 150% of ULN at visit 1; - Planned major surgery during the trial participation, including lung transplantation, major abdominal or major intestinal surgery; - History of thrombotic event (including stroke and transient ischemic attack) within 12 months of visit 1; - Creatinine clearance 15 mg daily or >30 mg every 2 days OR use of other systemic corticosteroids as well as other investigational drugs within 4 weeks of visit 2; - Known hypersensitivity to nintedanib, peanut, soya or to any other components of the study medication; - Prior discontinuation of nintedanib treatment due to intolerability/ adverse events considered drug related; - A disease or condition which in the opinion of the investigator may interfere with testing procedures or put the patient at risk when participating in this trial; - Alcohol or drug abuse which in the opinion of the treating physician would interfere with the treatment and would affect patient's ability to participate in this trial; - Patients not able to understand and follow study procedures such as but not limited to home spirometry, including completion of self-administered questionnaires without help; - Women who are pregnant, nursing, who plan to become pregnant while in the trial or female patients with positive ß-HCG test at visit 1 and/or visit 2; - Women of childbearing potential not willing or able to use highly effective methods of birth control per ICH M3 (R2) that result in a low failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly; - Patients with acute IPF exacerbation or any respiratory tract infection in the four weeks prior to Visit 1 or during the screening period. Visit 1 and/or Visit 2 should be postponed in case of an IPF exacerbation or respiratory tract infection. Refer to Section 6.1 for information on re-scheduling

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary Objective: A secondary objective is to confirm the observed results from the PROFILE cohort, i.e. to assess the predictive value of change in extracellular matrix (ECM) biomarkers CRPM, C1M and C3M over 12 weeks for disease progression as defined by FVC decline =10% or death over 52 weeks. ; Primary end point(s): 1: The rate of change (slope) in blood CRPM from baseline to week 12. ; Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1: 12 weeks ; Main Objective: The primary objective of the trial will be to assess the effect of nintedanib on rate of change in extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover biomarker CRPM over 12 weeks which has shown to strongly associate with disease progression in patients with IPF in the PROFILE cohort.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The key secondary endpoint 1: Proportion of patients with disease progression as defined by absolute FVC (% predicted) decline =10% or death until week 52 based on in clinic supervised spirometry. Secondary endpoints: 2: Rate of change (slope) in blood C1M from baseline to week 12 3: Rate of change (slope) in blood C3M from baseline to week 12. ; Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1: 52 weeks 2: 12 weeks 3: 12 weeks
