About this study

Official title: Investigation of Drug-drug Interaction Between Nintedanib and Pirfenidone in Patients With IPF (an Open Label, Multiple-dose, Two Group Study)

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effect of steady state pirfenidone on the pharmacokinetics of nintedanib and its metabolites following oral administration of 2403 mg/day pirfenidone and to investigate the effect of steady state nintedanib on the pharmacokinetics of pirfenidone at steady state following oral administration of 150 mg bid nintedanib. There will be two cohorts of patients; the first one will consist of patients not treated with pirfenidone or nintedanib, while the second one will consist of patients on pirfenidone treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment naïve, Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of the Nintedanib in Plasma Over the Time Interval 0 to the Last Quantifiable Data Point (AUC0-tz).

    AUC0-tz , area under the concentration-time curve of nintedanib in plasma over the time interval from 0 to the last quantifiable concentration. Standard error mentioned in the Method of Dispersion is actually a Geometric Standard Error.

    Measured: Blood samples were collected at pre-dose and at 0:30, 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, 4:00, 6:00, 8:00 and 10:00 hours post dose.

  2. Treatment naïve, Maximum Measured Concentration of Nintedanib in Plasma After Single Dose Administration (Cmax).

    Cmax, maximum measured concentration of nintedanib in plasma. Standard error mentioned in the Method of Dispersion is actually a Geometric Standard Error.

    Measured: Blood samples were collected at pre-dose and at 0:30, 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, 4:00, 6:00, 8:00 and 10:00 hours post dose.

  3. Pirfenidone-treated, Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of Pirfenidone in Plasma Over a Dosing Interval at Steady State (AUCτ,ss)

    AUCτ,ss, area under the concentration-time curve of pirfenidone in plasma over a dosing interval at steady state. Standard error mentioned in the Method of Dispersion is actually a Geometric Standard Error.

    Measured: Blood samples were collected at pre-dose and at 0:30, 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, 4:00, 6:00, 8:00 and 10:00 hours post dose.

  4. Pirfenidone-treated, Maximum Measured Concentration of Pirfenidone in Plasma at Steady State (Cmax,ss)

    Cmax,ss, maximum measured concentration of pirfenidone in plasma at steady state. Standard error mentioned in the Method of Dispersion is actually a Geometric Standard Error.

    Measured: Blood samples were collected at pre-dose and at 0:30, 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, 4:00, 6:00, 8:00 and 10:00 hours post dose.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Treatment naïve, Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of Nintedanib in Plasma Over the Time Interval From 0 Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC0-∞)

    AUC0-∞, area under the concentration-time curve of nintedanib in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity. Standard error mentioned in the Method of Dispersion is actually a Geometric Standard Error.

    Measured: Blood samples were collected at pre-dose and at 0:30, 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, 4:00, 6:00, 8:00 and 10:00 hours post dose.

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 Boehringer Ingelheim at 9 sites in United Kingdom.

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 7 inclusion and 27 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 4 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in United Kingdom. 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 4 Mar 2019). 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?

Treatment naïve, Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of the Nintedanib in Plasma Over the Time Interval 0 to the Last Quantifiable Data Point (AUC0-tz). (time frame: Blood samples were collected at pre-dose and at 0:30, 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, 4:00, 6:00, 8:00 and 10:00 hours post dose.). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 4 Mar 2019.
