Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Brief summary

This is a non-interventional study based on new data collection to gather real-world information (i.e., data under routine medical practice) on safety and effectiveness of the Ofev® Capsules treatment. The study will consist of a baseline visit and follow-up visits at Week 4, 13, 26, 39, 52, 65, 78, 91 and 104 for patients who have newly initiated Ofev® Capsules. The patients will be followed up until discontinuation of Ofev® Capsules treatment. As this is an observational study, no specific treatment is mandated or withheld from the patients. The choice of maintenance treatment for IPF must be according to regular medical practice and at the discretion of the physician (i.e., no randomised assignment of patient to treatment is performed). All patients administrated Ofev® Capsules after the launch at the sites contracted with the sponsor will be registered. The Case Report Forms (CRFs) of 1000 patients will be collected. However the patient registration continues until the approval condition has been removed. Patients participating in the subsequent follow-up will undergo regular observations. These observations should be reported after approximately Week 4, 13, 26, 39, 52, 65, 78, 91 and 104 since the initiation of Ofev® Capsules as long as they continue to receive the treatment. Patients will not be followed any longer once they are reported to have discontinued the Ofev® Capsules treatment.

Recruitment details

This non-interventional study based on newly collected data aimed to evaluate safety and effectiveness of Ofev Capsules treatment in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) who newly initiated Ofev capsules under a real-world setting.

Pre-assignment details

Only subjects that met all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria were included. Patients diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) based upon the most recent ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT guideline and who initiated treatment with Ofev Capsules after the launch were registered into this study basically within 14 days from initiation of Ofev Capsules (from October 2015 to May 2023, following enrollment in August 31st).

Primary

Number of Patients With Any Suspected Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs)

Number of patients with any suspected Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) is presented.

Time frame: Up to 104 weeks

Population: Safety set: This patient set included all patients who didn't have any predefined important protocol deviations (IPDs) leading to exclusion from this analysis set.

Absolute Change From Baseline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at Week 104

Absolute change from baseline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at Week 104 is presented. Forced vital capacity (FVC) is the amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. It is measured in Milliliter by spirometry.

Time frame: At baseline and at week 104

Population: Effectiveness set: This patient set included all patients with Ofev Capsules in the safety set who were suffering from the approved indication. Further important protocol deviations (IPDs) leading to exclusion from this analysis set were predefined. Only patients with FVC and %FVC value at baseline and post treatment in effectiveness set were included in this analysis.
