Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Age >= 18-85 years - Confirmed fibrosing ILD which, following multidisciplinary team review, cannot be classified with either high or moderate confidence as a specific idiopathic interstitial pneumonia or other defined ILD - Progressive disease as considered by the investigator as patient deterioration within the last 6 months, which is defined as a rate of decline in forced vital capacity (FVC) >5% or a significant symptomatic worsening not due to cardiac, pulmonary vascular or other causes - Extent of fibrosis >10% on high-resolution computed tomography within the last 12 months -Forced vital capacity >= 45% of predicted value -Diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLco) >= 30% of predicted value -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 contraceptive method with a failure rate of =65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 150

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: -Diagnosis with moderate or high confidence of nonspecific interstitial pneumonia and any ILD with an identifiable cause such as connective tissue disease-ILD, chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, or others -Diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis independent of the confidence level -History of unstable angina or myocardial infarction during the previous 6 months -Treatment with high dose systemic corticosteroids, or any immunosuppressant other than mycophenolate mofetil/acid (MMF), at any time at least 4 weeks prior to the screening period. Patients being treated with MMF should be on a stable dose that is expected to remain stable throughout the trial and was started at least 3 months prior to screening -Patients previously treated with pirfenidone or nintedanib -Patients treated with N-acetyl-cysteine for fibrotic lung disease, at any time within the 4 weeks of the screening period -Drug treatment for any type of pulmonary hypertension -Participation in a trial of an investigational medicinal product within the last 4 weeks -Significant co-existent emphysema (extent greater than extent of fibrosis on high-resolution computed tomography within the last 12 months) -Significant other organ co-morbidity including hepatic or renal impairment -Predicted life expectancy 1.5 × ULN, and Alkaline phosphatase >2.0 × ULN -Creatinine clearance = 500 milliseconds at screening, or a family or personal history of long QT syndrome

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: •To evaluate the effect of pirfenidone versus (vs.) placebo on lung function parameters;Secondary Objective: •To evaluate the efficacy of pirfenidone vs. placebo from baseline (Day 1) until Week 24 on other functional parameters, outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes •To evaluate the safety of pirfenidone vs. placebo;Primary end point(s): Rate of decline in FVC measured in mL by daily handheld spirometer over the 24-week double-blind treatment period;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Up to Week 24
