New study tracks lung function and symptoms in fibrosis patients on nintedanib
NCT ID NCT05503030
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 88 adults with connective tissue disease-related lung scarring who were prescribed nintedanib. Researchers measured changes in lung function and tracked cough and breathlessness using a questionnaire over 24 months. The goal was to see if improvements in lung function matched up with fewer symptoms in everyday life.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Patients with physician-diagnosed interstitial lung disease (ILD) must fulfil at least one of the following criteria for progressive fibrosing (PF)-ILD within the previous period and up to two years before the screening, despite standard treatment to treat ILD: * Clinically significant decline in forced vital capacity (FVC) percentage (%) predicted based on a relative decline of ≥ 10% * The marginal decline in FVC % predicted based on a relative decline of ≥ 5-\< 10% combined with worsening respiratory symptoms * The marginal decline in FVC % predicted based on a relative decline of ≥ 5-\< 10% combined with increasing extent of fibrotic changes on chest imaging * Worsening of respiratory symptoms as well as increasing extent of fibrotic changes on chest imaging All patients will need to be treatment naïve concerning antifibrotic treatments (i.e., nintedanib or pirfenidone) before initiating nintedanib. Enrolment period will be 24 months, and each participant will be observed for 24 months.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 years with a confirmed physician diagnosis of connective tissue disease (CTD) associated Progressive Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Disease (PF-ILD) * Have been prescribed nintedanib according to the local Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) and clinical judgment. Therapy with nintedanib must have been started for clinical reasons independently from the intended patient enrolment into the study at a maximum of 15 days before enrolment into the trial. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients currently receiving treatment with any investigational drug/device/intervention or who have received any investigational product within 1 month or 5 half-lives of the investigational agent (whichever is longer) before the commencement of therapy with nintedanib * Patients at baseline with a known condition or reason that will result in withdrawal from the study before the 24-month time point * Pregnancy or lactation
