NCT ID NCT05151640

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study followed 158 adults with chronic fibrosing interstitial lung disease (a type of progressive lung scarring) who were starting treatment with nintedanib. Researchers wanted to see if changes in lung function (measured by forced vital capacity) over 52 weeks were linked to changes in cough and breathlessness, as reported by patients on a questionnaire. The goal is to better understand how nintedanib affects symptoms in everyday life.
