A Trial to Evaluate the Safety of Long Term Treatment With Nintedanib in Patients With Scleroderma Related Lung Fibrosis

Overview

The main objective is to assess long term safety of treatment with oral nintedanib in patients with Systemic Sclerosis associated Interstitial Lung Disease (SSc-ILD).

Full Title of Study: “An Open-label Extension Trial of the Long Term Safety of Nintedanib in Patients With ‘Systemic Sclerosis Associated Interstitial Lung Disease’ (SSc-ILD)”

Study Type

  • Study Type: Interventional
  • Study Design
    • Allocation: N/A
    • Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
    • Primary Purpose: Treatment
    • Masking: None (Open Label)
  • Study Primary Completion Date: January 25, 2023

Interventions

  • Drug: Nintedanib
    • Administered twice daily

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: Nintedanib
    • Patients with Systemic Sclerosis associated Interstitial Lung Disease (SSc-ILD) who took part in the parent trials 1199.214 (Nintedanib or Placebo) or 1199-0340 (Nintedanib). Patients continued in this trial and received Nintedanib 150 mg (milligram) twice daily (bid) unless they had reduced their dose to 100 mg bid trial medication (Nintedanib or Placebo) in the parent trial. Patients receiving 100 mg bid trial medication at the end of the parent trial could receive either Nintedanib 100 mg bid or 150 mg bid at the discretion of the investigator.

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Number of Patients With Any Adverse Event (AE) Over the Course of the Trial
    • Time Frame: First trial medication intake up to last trial drug intake, plus 7 days residual effect period, up to approximate 60 months.
    • Number of patients with any adverse event (AE) over the course of the trial.

Participating in This Clinical Trial

Inclusion Criteria
