About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Parallel Group Study in IPF Patients Over 12 Weeks Evaluating Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of BI 1015550 Taken Orally

This study is open to adults with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) who are at least 40 years old. People taking standard medicines for IPF, including antifibrotic medicines, can continue taking them throughout the study.

The purpose of the study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1015550 can slow down the worsening of lung function. Participants are in the study for about 4 months. During this time, they visit the study site about 7 times. At the beginning, they visit the study site every 2 weeks.

Read more

After 1 month of treatment, they visit the study site every 4 weeks.

The participants are put into 2 groups by chance. 1 group gets BI 1015550. The other group gets placebo. Placebo tablets look like BI 1015550 tablets but contain no medicine. The participants take BI 1015550 or placebo tablets twice a day.

The participants have lung function tests at study visits. The results of the lung function tests are compared between the BI 1015550 group and the placebo group. The doctors also regularly check the general health of the participants.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Change From Baseline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at 12 Weeks

    The change from baseline in Forced vital capacity (FVC) at 12 weeks. Data were analysed with a restricted maximum likelihood (REML)-based approach using a mixed model with repeated measures (MMRM). The analysis included the fixed, categorical effect of treatment at each visit, and the fixed, continuous effects of baseline FVC at each visit. Visit was treated as the repeated measure, with an unstructured covariance structure used to model the within-patient measurements.

    Measured: Baseline (day 1) and week 12.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The Number of Patients With Treatment Emergent Adverse Event

    The number of patients with any adverse event during the on-treatment period.

    Measured: From the start of treatment till the end of treatment + 7 days residual effect period, an average of 87.4 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing BI 1015550 in people with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 75 sites in 22 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 13 inclusion and 10 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 1 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 75 sites in United States, Japan, Spain, Canada, China and 17 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 1 Nov 2022). 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?

The Change From Baseline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at 12 Weeks (time frame: Baseline (day 1) and week 12.). 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 NCT04419506, 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 1 Nov 2022.
