Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 40 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Written informed consent consistent with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) signed prior to entry into the study
  • Completion of 1199.31 study and still under treatment with pirfenidone at a stable dose

Who cannot join

  • Any disease that may interfere with testing procedures or in judgement of investigator may interfere with trial participation or may put the patient at risk when participating in this trial. Reconsider carefully all exclusion criteria of trial 1199.31. However, patients may qualify for participation even though they meet the exclusion criteria (for 1199.31), if the investigators benefit-risk assessment remains favorable.
  • Any other investigational therapy received within 8 weeks before visit 1.
  • For female: Pregnant women or women who are breast feeding or of child bearing potential not using a highly effective method of birth control for both at least 4 weeks prior to enrolment and 10 weeks after last study drug intake.
  • For male: Sexually active males not committing to using condoms both during the course of the study and ten weeks after last study drug intake (except if their partner is not of childbearing potential).
  • Known or suspected active alcohol or drug abuse.
  • Patients who require full-dose therapeutic anticoagulation (e.g. vitamin K antagonists, heparin), except low dose heparin and/or heparin flash as needed for maintenance of an indwelling intravenous device. As an example, prophylactic use of heparin, e.g. enoxaparin 2000 International unit (I.U.) subcutaneously (s.c.) per day, should be allowed.
  • Patients who require full-dose antiplatelet (e.g. acetyl salicylic acid, clopidogrel) therapy. As an example, chronic low-dose acetyl salicylic acid, below or equal to 100 mg per day, should be allowed.
  • Patient not compliant in previous trial, with trial medication or trial visits.

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Open Label, Follow up Study to Investigate the Long Term Tolerability and Safety of Oral BIBF 1120 on Top of Pirfenidone in Japanese Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Primary objective of this study is to investigate the long-term tolerability and safety profile of BIBF 1120 on top of pirfenidone treatment in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis who have completed a prior clinical trial of BIBF 1120 (1199.31).

Secondary objectives are to assess effects on some efficacy criteria during long term treatment with BIBF 1120 on top of pirfenidone.

Being tested

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of Overall Adverse Events

    Incidence (Number of patients) of Adverse events (AEs) over the course of treatment period including serious adverse events (SAEs), AEs leading to discontinuation of study medication, and fatal AEs.

    Measured: First drug administration until end of treatment, up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Annual Rate of Decline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC).

    The adjusted annual rate of decline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC). The means presents actually the adjusted rate based on a random coefficient regression with fixed effects for gender, age, height and random effect of patient specific intercept and time. Within-patient errors are modelled by an Unstructured variance-covariance matrix. Inter-individual variability is modelled by a Variance-Components variance-covariance matrix.

    The result for Annual rate of decline (ROD) in FVC should be interpreted with caution and along with descriptive statistics, because inferences used for this analysis might not be valid as suggested by skewed distribution of the data.

    Measured: Baseline and every 8 weeks after drug administration until end of treatment, up to 5 years

  2. Annual Rate of Decline in Haemoglobin (Hb) Corrected Diffusing Capacity of the Lung for Carbon Monoxide (DLCO)

    Adjusted annual rate of decline in Hb corrected DLCO. The means presents actually adjusted rate based on random coefficient regression with fixed effects for gender, age, height \& random effect of patient specific intercept \& time. Within-patient errors are modelled by Unstructured variance-covariance matrix.Inter-individual variability is modelled by a variance-Components variance-covariance matrix.

    mmHg: millimeters of mercury

    Measured: Baseline & every 8 weeks after drug administration until end of treatment, up to 5 years

  3. Acute Exacerbations of IPF: Risk (Incidence Rate) of Acute Exacerbations of IPF.

    The risk (incidence rate calculated as number of patients with at least 1 exacerbation, divided by the total time at risk ×100) of acute exacerbation of IPF.

    Measured: First drug administration until end of treatment, up to 5 years

  4. Percentage of Patient With First Occurrence of Acute Exacerbations of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) Until Week 234.

    The percentage of patient having first acute exacerbation of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) based on investigator reported adverse events until week 234.

    Measured: Week 234

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Nintedanib and Pirfenidoneone in people with Pulmonary Fibrosis, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 4 sites in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Mar 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Overall Adverse Events (time frame: First drug administration until end of treatment, up to 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Mar 2017.
