Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Relative Change From Baseline in 24-hour Cough Frequency at Week 6Baseline, Week 6Relative change in 24-hour (combined daytime and nighttime) cough frequency (coughs per hour) from baseline was assessed. Assessment was done using objective digital cough monitoring. The relative change from baseline = \[ (Post-baseline - Baseline) / Baseline\] × 100. The baseline value was defined as the last non-missing observation prior to the date of the first dose of study.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Relative Change From Baseline in Evaluating Respiratory Symptoms in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (E-RS:IPF) Cough Subscale at Week 6Baseline, Week 6The E-RS:IPF is a respiratory symptom subscale of the exacerbation of chronic pulmonary disease tool (EXACT) and consists of 11 items and was developed for use in IPF. The Cough subscale includes a single item (item 2: How often did you cough today?). The possible score range is 0 (not at all) to 4 (almost constantly). Higher scores indicate more severe symptoms. The relative change from baseline values is presented below. The relative change from baseline = \[ (Post-baseline - Baseline) / Baseline\] × 100. A positive change from baseline indicates worsening. The baseline value was defined as the last non-missing observation prior to the date of the first dose of study.
Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)Up to Week 12An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. A TEAE was defined as any AE that occurs after the first dose of study drug. TEAEs included both serious and non-serious TEAEs.
Relative Change From Baseline in 24-hour Cough Frequency at Week 6Baseline, Weeks 6Relative change in 24-hour (combined daytime and nighttime) cough frequency (coughs per hour) from baseline was assessed. Assessment was done using objective digital cough monitoring. The relative change from baseline = \[ (Post-baseline - Baseline) / Baseline\] × 100. The baseline value was defined as the last non-missing observation prior to the date of the first dose of study.
Percentage of Responders With ≥30%, ≥50% and ≥75% Reduction in the 24-Hour Cough Frequency at Week 6At Week 6Responders were defined as those with ≥30%, ≥50%, or ≥75% reduction in 24-hour cough frequency from Baseline at Week 6. Percentages were rounded off to the nearest decimal.
Relative Change From Baseline in Awake Cough Frequency at Week 6Baseline, Week 6Awake cough was defined as cough that occurs between the time that the participant is awaken 24 hours after the digital cough monitor was applied for use. Assessment was done using objective digital cough monitoring. The relative change from baseline = \[ (Post-baseline - Baseline) / Baseline\] × 100. The baseline value was defined as the last non-missing observation prior to the date of the first dose of study.
Relative Change From Baseline in Sleep Cough Frequency at Week 6Baseline, Week 6Sleep cough frequency was intended as the average coughs per hour while the participant was flagged as being asleep. Assessment was done using objective digital cough monitoring. Percent change in cough frequency (coughs per hour) from baseline was assessed. The relative change from baseline = \[ (Post-baseline - Baseline) / Baseline\] × 100. The baseline value was defined as the last non-missing observation prior to the date of the first dose of study.
Relative Change From Baseline in E-RS: IPF Cough Subscale at Week 6Baseline, Week 6The E-RS:IPF is a respiratory symptom subscale of the EXACT and consists of 11 items and was developed for use in IPF. The Cough subscale includes a single item (item 2: How often did you cough today?) with a score range of 0 (not at all) to 4 (almost constantly). The relative change from baseline values is presented below. The relative change from baseline = \[ (Post-baseline - Baseline) / Baseline\] × 100. A positive change from baseline indicates worsening. The baseline value was defined as the last non-missing observation prior to the date of the first dose of study.
Percentage of E-RS: IPF Cough Subscale Responders With At Least One Category Improvement at Week 6At Week 6The E-RS:IPF is a respiratory symptom subscale of the EXACT and consists of 11 items and was developed for use in IPF. The Cough subscale includes a single item (item 2) with a score range of 0 (not at all) to 4 (almost constantly). Responders are defined as those with at least one category reduction (improvement) by ≥1 point at Week 6. Percentages were rounded off to the nearest decimal.
Change From Baseline in E-RS:IPF Total Score at Week 6Baseline, Week 6The Total E-RS:IPF includes all 11 items from the scale and was developed for use in IPF. Items assignments to domains of the E-RS:IPF are as follows: the RS-Breathlessness domain (Items 7-11) has a score range of 0-23; the IPF-Chest domain (Items 1, 5, and 6) has a score range of 0-12; the IPF-Cough domain (Item 2) has a score range of 0-4; the IPF-Sputum domain (Items 3 and 4) has a score range of 0-8; and the E-RS:IPF total score (Items 1-11) ranges from 0-47. For each day, the sum of the item-level raw scores forms the E-RS:IPF total score. Higher scores indicate more severe symptoms. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. The baseline value was defined as the last non-missing observation prior to the date of the first dose of study.
Change From Baseline in IPF-Breathlessness Subdomain Score at Week 6Baseline, Week 6The E-RS:IPF consists of a subset of 11 items from the EXACT and was developed for use in IPF.

The baseline value was defined as the last non-missing observation prior to the date of the first dose of study.
Change From Baseline in Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ) Total Score at Week 6Baseline, Week 6LCQ is a self-reporting quality of life measure of chronic cough. It consists of 19 items with a 7-point Likert response scale ranging from 1 to 7. The responses are as follows: 1 = all of the time, 2 = most of the time, 3 = a good bit of the time, 4 = some of the time, 5 = a little of the time, 6 = hardly any of the time, and 7 = none of the time. Each item is designed to assess cough symptoms and the impact of cough across three main domains, physical (8 items), psychological (7 items), and social (4 items). Domain scores are calculated as the total score from items in the domain divided by the number of items in the domain and range from 1 to 7. The LCQ total score is calculated by summing the individual domain scores and ranges from 3 to 21, with higher scores indicating better health status. The baseline value was defined as the last non-missing observation prior to the date of the first dose of study.

Each item is designed to assess cough symptoms and the impact of cough across three main domains, physical (8 items), psychological (7 items), and social (4 items).

Each item consists of a 0-3 score range. Dyspnea consists of 7 items and has a raw sum score range of 0-21 with higher scores indicating worsening dyspnea symptoms, Cough consists of 5 items and has a raw sum score range of 0-15 with higher scores indicating worsening cough symptoms, and Energy consists of 3 items and has a raw sum score range of 0-9 with higher scores indicating worsening energy.
