The aim of the current study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of 150 mg bid nintedanib over 52 weeks in patients with Progressive Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Disease (PF-ILD) defined as patients who present with features of diffuse fibrosing lung disease of >10% extent on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and whose lung function and respiratory symptoms or chest imaging have worsened despite treatment with unapproved medications used in clinical practice to treat ILD.

A list of contraception methods meeting these criteria is provided in the patient information
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To demonstrate a reduction of lung function decline, as measured by the annual rate of decline in FVC for nintedanib compared to placebo.;Secondary Objective: The main secondary objectives of the trial are to investigate the effect of treatment on quality of life using the King's Brief Interstitial Lung Disease Questionnaire (K-BILD), and to assess the effect of nintedanib on time to first acute ILD exacerbation and overall survival over 52 weeks.;Primary end point(s): 1: Annual rate of decline in Forced Vital Capacity ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1: 52 weeks | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): 1: Absolute change from baseline in King's Brief Interstitial Lung Disease Questionnaire (K-BILD) total score at week 52 2: Time to first acute ILD exacerbation or death over 52 weeks 3: Time to death over 52 weeks 4: Time to death due to respiratory cause over 52 weeks 5: Time to progression (defined as a equal or more than 10 percent absolute decline in FVC percent pred) or death over 52 weeks 6: Proportion of patients with a relative decline from baseline in FVC percent pred of more than 10 percent at week 52 7: Proportion of patients with a relative decline from baseline in FVC percent pred of more than 5 percent at week 52 8: Absolute change from baseline in Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis (L-PF) Symptoms dyspnea domain score at week 52 9: Absolute change from baseline in Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis (L-PF) Symptoms cough domain score at week 52 ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1: 52 weeks 2: 52 weeks 3: 52 weeks 4: 52 weeks 5: 52 weeks 6: 52 weeks 7: 52 weeks 8: 52 weeks 9: 52 weeks | — |
