Study 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.

Primary Outcome

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 tr
