About this study

Official title: An Exploratory Multicenter, Open-Label, Single Arm Study of the Safety and Tolerability of Pirfenidone (Esbriet®) in Combination With Nintedanib (Ofev®) in Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

This clinical study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of combination treatment of nintedanib and pirfenidone in participants with IPF. Eligible participants must have received pirfenidone for at least 16 weeks on a stable dose. Nintedanib will be added on Day 1 of the study as a combination treatment for IPF for 24 weeks.

Being tested
Nintedanib, Pirfenidone
Medical subject headings
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • NintedanibDrug

    Also called Ofev

    Participants with IPF will receive nintedanib at the 200-300 mg/day dose up to 24 weeks.

  • PirfenidoneDrug

    Also called Esbriet

    Participants with IPF will receive pirfenidone at 1602-2403 mg/day dose up to 24 weeks.

Study groups in NCT02598193
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Pirfenidone+NintedanibExperimentalParticipants with IPF will receive pirfenidone at 1602-2403 milligrams per day (mg/day) dose and nintedanib at the 200-300 mg/day dose up to 24 weeks.
Receives: Drug: Nintedanib; Drug: Pirfenidone

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Participants Who Complete 24 Weeks of Combination Treatment on Pirfenidone at a Dose of 1602-2403 mg/Day and Nintedanib at a Dose of 200-300 mg/Day

    Measured: Week 24

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events

    An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 28

  2. Percentage of Participants Who Discontinue Pirfenidone, Nintedanib, or Both Study Treatments Because of Adverse Events Before the Week 24 Visit

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 24

  3. Total Number of Participant Days of Combination Treatment With Pirfenidone and Nintedanib

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 24

  4. Total Number of Days From the Initiation of Combination Treatment to Discontinuation of Pirfenidone, Nintedanib, or Both Study Treatments

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 24

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Nintedanib and Pirfenidone in people with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 38 sites in 8 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 38 sites in United States, Spain, Italy, France, Germany and 3 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 Jun 2018). 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?

Percentage of Participants Who Complete 24 Weeks of Combination Treatment on Pirfenidone at a Dose of 1602-2403 mg/Day and Nintedanib at a Dose of 200-300 mg/Day (time frame: Week 24). 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 NCT02598193, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 13 Jun 2018.
