Interventions Drug: Nintedanib
Drug: Placebo
Enrollment 663
Recruitment Details Randomized (1:1 ratio), placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group trial comparing nintedanib to placebo over a 52-week treatment period (Part A). Participants continued on blinded, randomized treatment beyond 52 weeks (Part B). Data base lock (DBL) one was on 6-June-2019, DBL two was on 11-September-2019. Overall Study Period=Part A and B.
Pre-assignment Details All subjects were screened for eligibility prior to participation in the trial. Subjects attended a specialist site which ensured that they (the subjects) strictly met all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria. Subjects were not to be allocated to a treatment group if any of the entry criteria were violated.

1.Primary Outcome
Title Annual Rate of Decline in Forced Vital Capacity - Overall Population
Hide Description Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) is the volume of air (measured in milliliter) which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. Overall population consists of all randomized participants with HRCT fibrotic pattern=UIP-like fibrotic pattern only or HRCT fibrotic pattern= Other fibrotic patterns. Annual rate of decline in Forced Vital Capacity in milliliter (mL) per year in the overall population is based on a random coefficient regression with fixed effects for treatment, HRCT fibrotic pattern, and baseline FVC [mL], and including treatment-by-time and baseline-by-time interactions. Within-participant errors are modelled by an unstructured variance-covariance matrix.

Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection 150 mg Nintedanib, Placebo
Comments The decrease in FVC was assumed to be linear within each participant over 52 weeks. The intercepts and slopes were assumed to be normally distributed with unstructured covariance matrix. The within participant error was assumed to be independent and normally distributed with mean 0 and a common variance. The Kenward-Roger approximation was used to estimate denominator degrees of freedom and adjust standard errors (SEs).

3.Secondary Outcome
Title Absolute Change From Baseline in King's Brief Interstitial Lung Disease Questionnaire (K-BILD) Total Score at Week 52 - Overall Population
Hide Description King's Brief Interstitial Lung Disease questionnaire (K-BILD) consists of 15 items and 3 domains: breathlessness and activities, psychological, and chest symptoms. Possible score ranges from 0-100, score of 100 representing the best health status. If missing items were >50% per domain, the domain score was set to missing. If any of the domain scores were missing, the total score was set to missing. Absolute change from baseline in K-BILD Total score at week 52 in the overall population was based on a Mixed Model Repeated Measures (MMRM), with fixed effects for baseline K-BILD Total score, HRCT fibrotic pattern, visit, treatment-by-visit interaction, baseline-by-visit interactions and random effect for participant.

Title Time to Death Due to Respiratory Cause Over 52 Weeks - Overall Population
Hide Description Time to death due to respiratory cause over 52 weeks is defined as the time from date of first drug intake until date of death attributed to respiratory causes (determined by an independent Adjudication Committee) for participants with known date of death (from respiratory causes) within the first 52 weeks. Participants with no event (death from respiratory causes) or unknown status within the first 52 weeks were censored. As less than 4.95% of the total of participants in the analysis population experienced an event, only descriptive statistics were performed, as pre-specified.

Title Time to Progression or Death Over 52 Weeks - Overall Population
Hide Description Time to progression or death over 52 weeks is defined as the time from date of first drug intake to date of progression, or date of death (from any cause) if a participant died earlier. Participants with no event (progression or death from any cause) or unknown status were censored. Date of progression is defined as the date when ≥ 10% of absolute decline in FVC percent predicted compared to baseline occured for the first time. Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) is the volume of air (measured in milliliter) which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. Predicted normal values of FVC were calculated according to the Global Lung Initiative. FVC percent predicted (FVC % pred) is the FVC divided by its predicted value in percent.

Title Absolute Change From Baseline in Living With Pulmonary Fibrosis (L-PF) Symptoms Dyspnea Domain Score at Week 52 - Overall Population
Hide Description Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis (L-PF) questionnaire is a 44 item questionnaire with two modules Symptoms (23 items) and Impacts (21 items) where the symptoms module yields three domain scores dyspnea, cough and fatigue as well as a total symptoms score (impacts module yields a single impacts score). L-PF Symptoms dyspnea domain score (dyspnea score) ranges from 0-100, the higher the score the greater the impairment. If missing items were ≥50 % within a score, then the corresponding score was set to missing. Absolute change from baseline in dyspnea score at week 52 is based on a Mixed Model Repeated Measures, with fixed effects for baseline dyspnea score, HRCT fibrotic pattern, visit, treatment-by-visit interaction, baseline dyspnea score-by-visit interaction and random effect for participant, visit as repeated measure.

20.Secondary Outcome
Title Absolute Change From Baseline in Living With Pulmonary Fibrosis (L-PF) Symptoms Cough Domain Score at Week 52 - Participants With HRCT Fibrotic Pattern=UIP-like Fibrotic Pattern Only
Hide Description Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis (L-PF) questionnaire is a 44 item questionnaire with two modules Symptoms (23 items) and Impacts (21 items) where the symptoms module yields three domain scores dyspnea, cough and fatigue as well as a total symptoms score (impacts module yields a single impacts score). L-PF Symptoms cough domain score (cough score) ranges from 0-100, the higher the score the greater the impairment. If missing items were ≥50 % within a score, then the corresponding score was set to missing. Absolute change from baseline in cough score at week 52 is based on a Mixed Model Repeated Measures, with fixed effects for baseline cough score, visit, treatment-by-visit interaction, baseline cough score-by-visit interaction and random effect for participant, visit as repeated measure. The Adjusted mean is based on all analysed participants in the model (not only participants with a baseline and measurement at week 52).
Time Frame Baseline, 12, 24, 36, 52 weeks after first drug intake (planned post-baseline visits)
