Ofev under the microscope: Real-World safety data for lung disease patients
NCT ID NCT04559581
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study monitored 425 Japanese patients with chronic fibrosing interstitial lung diseases that are getting worse over time (PF-ILD) who were prescribed Ofev capsules. Researchers tracked side effects, especially liver problems, to see how safe the drug is in everyday use. The goal was to gather real-world safety information, not to test if the drug works.
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 Ofev is safe and tolerable for Japanese patients with PF-ILD, supporting its continued use to slow lung damage.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove effectiveness. Side effects like liver problems may still occur.

Who is studied
Non-interventional study in patients in Japan with chronic fibrosing ILDs with the progressive phenotype who are prescribed with Ofev and have never been treated with Ofev before; except patients with a diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or patients with other chronic fibrosing ILDs with the progressive phenotype due to systemic sclerosis as the underlying disease.
