Brief summary

The aim of the current study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of 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. There is currently no efficacious treatment available for PF-ILD. Based on its efficacy and safety in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), it is anticipated that Nintedanib will be a new treatment option for patients with PF-ILD.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Annual Rate of Decline in Forced Vital Capacity - Overall PopulationBaseline, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 36, 52 weeks after first drug intake (planned post-baseline visits)Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) is the volume of air (measured in milliliter) which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. Overall population consists of all randomized participants with HRCT fibrotic pattern=UIP-like fibrotic pattern only or HRCT fibrotic pattern= Other fibrotic patterns. Annual rate of decline in Forced Vital Capacity in milliliter (mL) per year in the overall population is based on a random coefficient regression with fixed effects for treatment, HRCT fibrotic pattern, and baseline FVC \[mL\], and including treatment-by-time and baseline-by-time interactions. Within-participant errors are modelled by an unstructured variance-covariance matrix.

Pre-assignment details

All subjects were screened for eligibility prior to participation in the trial. Subjects attended a specialist site which ensured that they (the subjects) strictly met all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria. Subjects were not to be allocated to a treatment group if any of the entry criteria were violated.

Annual Rate of Decline in Forced Vital Capacity - Overall Population

Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) is the volume of air (measured in milliliter) which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. Overall population consists of all randomized participants with HRCT fibrotic pattern=UIP-like fibrotic pattern only or HRCT fibrotic pattern= Other fibrotic patterns. Annual rate of decline in Forced Vital Capacity in milliliter (mL) per year in the overall population is based on a random coefficient regression with fixed effects for treatment, HRCT fibrotic pattern, and baseline FVC \[mL\], and including treatment-by-time and baseline-by-time interactions. Within-participant errors are modelled by an unstructured variance-covariance matrix.

Time frame: Baseline, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 36, 52 weeks after first drug intake (planned post-baseline visits)

Population: All randomized participants in the overall population who received at least 1 dose of trial medication.

Absolute Change From Baseline in Living With Pulmonary Fibrosis (L-PF) Symptoms Cough Domain Score at Week 52 - Participants With HRCT Fibrotic Pattern=UIP-like Fibrotic Pattern Only

Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis (L-PF) questionnaire is a 44 item questionnaire with two modules Symptoms (23 items) and Impacts (21 items) where the symptoms module yields three domain scores dyspnea, cough and fatigue as well as a total symptoms score (impacts module yields a single impacts score). L-PF Symptoms cough domain score (cough score) ranges from 0-100, the higher the score the greater the impairment. If missing items were ≥50 % within a score, then the corresponding score was set to missing. Absolute change from baseline in cough score at week 52 is based on a Mixed Model Repeated Measures, with fixed effects for baseline cough score, visit, treatment-by-visit interaction, baseline cough score-by-visit interaction and random effect for participant, visit as repeated measure. The Adjusted mean is based on all analysed participants in the model (not only participants with a baseline and measurement at week 52).

Time frame: Baseline, 12, 24, 36, 52 weeks after first drug intake (planned post-baseline visits)

Population: All randomized participants with HRCT fibrotic pattern=UIP-like fibrotic pattern only who received at least 1 dose of trial medication and contributed to the model evaluation.

Percentage of Participants With a Relative Decline From Baseline in FVC Percent Predicted of More Than 10 Percent at Week 52 - Overall Population

Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) is the volume of air (measured in milliliter) which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. Predicted normal values of FVC were calculated according to the Global Lung Initiative. FVC percent predicted (FVC % pred) is the FVC divided by its predicted value in percent. Participants with relative decline from baseline in FVC % pred greater than 10% at week 52 were those participants with a negative relative change from baseline in FVC % pred at week 52 the absolute value of which being greater than 10% and those participants with missing data (worst case analysis).

Time to Death Due to Respiratory Cause Over 52 Weeks - Overall Population

Time to death due to respiratory cause over 52 weeks is defined as the time from date of first drug intake until date of death attributed to respiratory causes (determined by an independent Adjudication Committee) for participants with known date of death (from respiratory causes) within the first 52 weeks. Participants with no event (death from respiratory causes) or unknown status within the first 52 weeks were censored. As less than 4.95% of the total of participants in the analysis population experienced an event, only descriptive statistics were performed, as pre-specified.

Time frame: From date of first trial drug intake up to date of death from respiratory causes or last contact date, up to 372 days

Population: All randomized participants in the overall population who received at least 1 dose of trial medication.
