About this study

Official title: Real-World Medication Adherence Trajectories to Nintedanib Among Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Patients

What is being measured

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

  1. Adherence Trajectories to Nintedanib Among Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) Patients

    The number of IPF patients per adherence trajectories to nintedanib is presented. The first claim for nintedanib was used for defining the initiation date. For each 30-day month (12 months) following the nintedanib initiation date, the Proportions of Days Covered (PDC) were calculated as the sum of days with supply divided by 30, the monthly nintedanib proportion of days covered was then calculated. The twelve 30-days PDC values were used as outcomes in the Group-based trajectory model (GBTM), the probabilities that a given individual is in each of the latent clusters was calculated by the GBTM estimation procedure using the monthly binary PDC ≥ 0.8 indicators as outcomes.

    The reported types of trajectories to nintedanib were:

    • Highly adherent (PDC ≈ 0.9)
    • Medium adherent (PDC ≈ 0.4-0.6) - Gradual decliners (PDC bottoms out by month 11)
    • Intermediate decliners (PDC bottoms out by month 8)
    • Rapid decliners (PDC approaches zero by month 4)

    Measured: Up to 1 year

Secondary outcomes (39)

    Age according to adherence trajectories for the idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients who were initiated on nintedanib is reported. Age for each patient was calculated by subtracting the year of birth from the year of index (i.e. Year of the index date- Year of birth). Year of index was defined as the year the patients where initiated on nintedanib treatment.

Individual data sharing
No: Clinical studies sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim, phases I to IV, interventional and non-interventional, are in scope for sharing of the raw clinical study data and clinical study documents. Exceptions might apply, e.g. studies in products where Boehringer Ingelheim is not the license holder; studies regarding pharmaceutical formulations and associated analytical methods, and studies pertinent to pharmacokinetics using human biomaterials; studies conducted in a single center or targeting rare diseases (in case of low number of patients and therefore limitations with anonymization).

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adherence Trajectories to Nintedanib Among Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) Patients (time frame: Up to 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
