About this study
Official title: A 52 Weeks, Double Blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Trial Evaluating the Effect of Oral BIBF 1120, 150 mg Twice Daily, on Annual Forced Vital Capacity Decline, in Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic disease of unknown cause that results in scarring of the lung and there is a high unmet medical need for effective treatment to halt lung function decline, delay or avoid exacerbation (flare-ups), and ultimately to reduce the death rate.
In a large Phase 2 trial (1199.30) (NCT00514683), investigating the effects of 52 weeks of treatment with BIBF 1120 in patients with IPF, a positive effect was seen on lung function of patients treated with high dose of BIBF 1120 compared to placebo.

Hence it is the purpose of this trial to investigate and confirm the efficacy and safety of BIBF 1120 at a high dose in treating patients with IPF, compared with placebo. The trial will be conducted as a prospective, randomised design with the aim to collect safety and efficacy data.
Respiratory function is globally accepted for assessment of treatment effects in IPF patients. The chosen endpoint (Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) decline) is easy to obtain and is part of the usual examinations done in IPF patients.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Annual Rate of Decline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) Over 52 Weeks.
Forced vital capacity (FVC) is the total amount of air exhaled during the lung function test.
For this endpoint reported means represent the adjusted rate.
Measured: 52 weeks
Secondary outcomes (28)

Means provided are the adjusted means based on all analyzed patients in the model (not only patients with a baseline and measurement at week 52).
Measured: Baseline and 52 weeks
Time to First Acute Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) Exacerbation
Due to rare events, the median of time to event is not calculable, thus the percentages of patients with (IPF) exacerbation are reported and represented as a key secondary endpoint. An acute exacerbation (reported as an AE by the investigator) was defined as follows:
Otherwise unexplained clinical features including all of the following:
Unexplained worsening or development of dyspnoea within 30 days New diffuse pulmonary infiltrates on chest X-ray, and/or new HRCT parenchymal abnormalities with no pneumothorax or pleural effusion (new ground-glass opacities) since the last visit Exclusion of infection as per routine clinical practice and microbiological studies Exclusion of alternative causes as per routine clinical practice including left heart failure, pulmonary embolism and identifiable cause of acute lung injury.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic disease of unknown cause that results in scarring of the lung and there is a high unmet medical need for effective treatment to halt lung function decline, delay or avoid exacerbation (flare-ups), and ultimately to reduce the death rate.
In a large Phase 2 trial (1199.30) (NCT00514683), investigating the effects of 52 weeks of treatment with BIBF 1120 in patients with IPF, a positive effect was seen on lung function of patients treated with high dose of BIBF 1120 compared to placebo.
Hence it is the purpose of this trial to investigate and confirm the efficacy and safety of BIBF 1120 at a high dose in treating patients with IPF, compared with placebo. The trial will be conducted as a prospective, randomised design with the aim to collect safety and efficacy data.
Respiratory function is globally accepted for assessment of treatment effects in IPF patients. The chosen endpoint (Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) decline) is easy to obtain and is part of the usual examinations done in IPF patients.

The record lists 108 sites in United States, Japan, Germany, China, France and 12 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Feb 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Annual Rate of Decline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) Over 52 Weeks. (time frame: 52 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01335477, which also lists 14 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Jul 2016.
