About this study
Official title: A Double Blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Trial Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of BI 1015550 Over at Least 52 Weeks in Patients With Progressive Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Diseases (PF-ILDs)
This study is open to adults with Progressive Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Diseases (PF-ILDs). People who have a form of PF-ILD other than Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) can join the study. If they already take nintedanib, they can continue treatment throughout the study.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1015550 helps people with PF-ILD. Participants are put into 3 groups randomly, which means by chance. Participants in 2 groups take different doses of BI 1015550 as tablets twice a day. Participants in the placebo group take placebo tablets twice a day. Placebo tablets look like BI 1015550 tablets but do not contain any medicine.
Participants are in the study for up to two and a half years. During the first year, they visit the study site 10 times. Afterwards, they visit the study site every 3 months. The doctors regularly test participants' lung function. The results of the lung function tests are compared between the groups. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Absolute Change From Baseline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) in Milliliters [mL] at Week 52
The absolute change from baseline in forced vital capacity (FVC) in milliliters [mL] at Week 52 is reported. The absolute change from baseline in FVC was analyzed by a restricted maximum likelihood (REML)-based mixed model with repeated measurements (MMRM) comparing the change from baseline in FVC at Week 52 between treatment groups. The analysis included the fixed, categorical effects of treatment, baseline intake of antifibrotic (AF) treatment, and baseline High-resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) pattern at each visit, as well as the fixed continuous effects of baseline FVC value at each visit. Visits were treated as a repeated measure with an unstructured covariance structure used to model within-patient measurements.
Measured: The MMRM model is a longitudinal analysis, and it incorporated FVC measurements change from baseline at Week 1, Week 2, Week 6, Week 12, Week 18, Week 26, Week 36, Week 44 and Week 52. Data presented is the FVC adjusted change from baseline at Week 52.
Secondary outcomes (11)
Key Secondary Endpoint: Time to First Occurrence of Any of the Components of the Composite Endpoint: Time to First Acute ILD Exacerbation, First Hospitalisation for Respiratory Cause, or Death (Whichever Occurred First) Over the Duration of the Trial
Time to first occurrence of any of the components of the composite endpoint - acute interstitial lung disease (ILD) exacerbation, first hospitalisation for respiratory cause, or death (whichever occurred first) - is reported as the number of participants who experienced any of these events during the trial.
Acute exacerbation of ILD describes an acute, clinically significant, respiratory deterioration characterized by evidence of new widespread alveolar abnormality with all of the following: Acute worsening or development of dyspnea typically with less than 1 month duration, computed tomography with new bilateral ground-glass opacity and/or consolidation superimposed on a background pattern consistent with fibrosing ILD, and deterioration not fully explained by cardiac failure or fluid overload.
If more than one component occurred on the same day, the patient was counted under the first event according to the following hierarchy: acute ILD exacerbation, hospitalization, death.
Measured: From first administration of trial drug (Nerandomilast or Placebo) till end of study, up to 26.2 months.
Time to First Acute ILD Exacerbation or Death Over the Duration of the Trial
Time to first acute ILD exacerbation or death over the duration of the trial is reported as the number of patients who experienced either event. Acute exacerbation of ILD describes an acute, clinically significant, respiratory deterioration characterized by evidence of new widespread alveolar abnormality with all of the following: Acute worsening or development of dyspnea typically with less than 1 month duration, computed tomography with new bilateral ground-glass opacity and/or consolidation superimposed on a background pattern consistent with fibrosing ILD, and deterioration not fully explained by cardiac failure or fluid overload.
If more than one component occurred on the same day, the patient was counted under the first event according to the following hierarchy: acute IPF exacerbation followed by death.
Measured: From first administration of trial drug (Nerandomilast or Placebo) till end of study, up to 26.2 months.
Time to Hospitalisation for Respiratory Cause or Death Over the Duration of the Trial
Time to hospitalisation for respiratory cause or death over the duration of the trial is reported as the number of participants who experienced either event. Hospitalizations due to respiratory causes were recorded on a specific non-elective hospitalization CRF page. This page captured the hospitalization date, confirmation of a respiratory cause, and the primary admission diagnosis. Time to death was based either on the date of death on the adverse event (AE) report for patients with AEs leading to death or was based on the information from the vital status assessment.
Measured: From first administration of trial drug (Nerandomilast or Placebo) till end of study, up to 26.2 months.
Time to Death Over the Duration of the Trial
Time to death over the duration of the trial is reported as the number of participants who died.
Time to death was based either on the date of death on the AE report for patients with AEs leading to death or based on the information from the vital status assessment.
Measured: From first administration of trial drug (Nerandomilast or Placebo) till end of study, up to 26.2 months.
Absolute Change From Baseline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) Percent (%) Predicted at Week 52
Absolute change from baseline in forced vital capacity (FVC) percent (%) predicted at Week 52 is reported.
Analysis was based on a Mixed Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM), with fixed, categorical effects of treatment at each visit, baseline antifibrotic therapy at each visit, baseline HRCT pattern at each visit, the fixed continuous effects of baseline FVC [% pred] at each visit and unstructured covariance for repeated measures. Baseline antifibrotic therapy and HRCT pattern as entered in the CRF pages were used as covariates.
Measured: The MMRM model is a longitudinal analysis, and it incorporated FVC % predicted change from baseline at Week 1, Week 2, Week 6, Week 12, Week 18, Week 26, Week 36, Week 44 and Week 52. Data presented is change from baseline in FVC % predicted at Week 52.
Time to Absolute Decline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) % Predicted of >10% From Baseline or Death Over the Duration of the Trial
The time to absolute decline of more than 10% from baseline in forced vital capacity (FVC) percent predicted, or death, over the duration of the trial is reported as the number of participants who experienced either event.
If multiple components occurred on the day of first event, then the patient was only counted in the first component based on the following hierarchy: absolute decline in FVC % predicted of > 10% followed by death.
Measured: From first administration of trial drug (Nerandomilast or Placebo) till end of study, up to 26.2 months.
Absolute Change From Baseline in Diffusing Capacity of the Lungs for Carbon Monoxide (DLCO) % Predicted (Corrected for Hb) at Week 52
The absolute change from baseline in Diffusing Capacity of the Lungs for Carbon Monoxide percent predicted (corrected for hemoglobin, Hb) at Week 52 is reported.. Analysis was based on a Mixed Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM), with fixed, categorical effects of treatment at each visit, baseline antifibrotic therapy at each visit, baseline HRCT pattern at each visit, the fixed continuous effects of baseline DLCO [% pred] at each visit and unstructured covariance for repeated measures. Baseline antifibrotic therapy and HRCT pattern as entered in the CRF pages were used as covariates.
Measured: The MMRM model is a longitudinal analysis and it incorporated DLCO measurements from baseline (Week -8 to Week -1) and Week 12, Week 26, and Week 52. The data represent the adjusted Least Square Means for change from baseline at Week 52.
Time to Absolute Decline in Diffusing Capacity of the Lungs for Carbon Monoxide (DLCO) Percentage Predicted by More Than 15% From Baseline or Death, Measured Over the Duration of the Trial
Time to absolute decline in Diffusing Capacity of the Lungs for Carbon Monoxide (DLCO) percentage predicted by more than 15% from baseline or death, measured over the duration of the trial is reported as the number of participants who experienced either event. The Predicted DLCO value was corrected for hemoglobin (Hb). If more than one component occurred on the same day, the patient was counted under the first event according to the hierarchy: Absolute decline in DLCO % predicted of > 15%, followed by Death.
Measured: From first administration of trial drug (Nerandomilast or Placebo) till end of study, up to 26.2 months.
Absolute Change From Baseline in Living With Pulmonary Fibrosis (L-PF) Symptoms Dyspnea Domain Score at Week 52
The absolute change from baseline in Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis (L-PF) Symptoms Dyspnea domain score at Week 52 is reported. The Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis (L-PF) questionnaire is a 44-item tool consisting of two modules: Symptoms (23 items) and Impacts (21 items). The Symptoms module yields three domain scores: Dyspnoea, Cough, and Fatigue, as well as a Total Symptoms score. Scoring is based on the mean of item ratings within each domain, multiplied by 100. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater impairment.
This endpoint was analyzed using a Mixed Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM).
