New study tracks how well nintedanib works over time for scleroderma lung disease
NCT ID NCT07080125
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 2,000 people with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) who have lung disease and are taking the drug nintedanib (Ofev®). Researchers want to see how the drug affects lung function, quality of life, and survival over the long term. The study is observational, meaning it just watches what happens in real-world care, without giving anyone a new treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Nintedanib (Ofev®)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm that nintedanib helps slow lung decline and improve survival in people with systemic sclerosis-associated lung disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less definitive. It also only includes patients already enrolled in a registry, which may limit how well findings apply to everyone.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Enrolled in the EUSTAR registry * Provided consent at their site to have their data included in the EUSTAR registry for a broad range of research studies, and agree to visit the site every 12 months * Have a diagnosis of ILD defined by radiological findings on High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) and/or X-ray that is documented in the electronic Case Report Form (eCRF) by the treating physician Exclusion Criteria: * Women with Systemic Sclerosis Interstitial Lung Disease (SSc-ILD) who are pregnant, or breastfeeding will be excluded since Ofev® is contraindicated for women who are pregnant due to safety concerns * SSc-ILD patients aged \<18 years: only adults will be included in the study since Ofev® is approved for treatment of SSc-ILD in adults * Patients with a previous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT)
