About this study

Official title: Assessment of the Oxygen Use and Future Outcomes Associated With Oxygen Use in Patient With Fibrotic ILD

The purpose of this study is to describe initiation and use of oxygen therapy among patients with fibrotic Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) and to assess the impact of oxygen therapy on clinical outcomes among patients with fibrotic ILD.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT05957198
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD)Patients aged ≥18 years with ≥2 fibrosing ILD diagnoses and continuous enrollment with medical and pharmacy coverage for 12 months prior to the fibrosing ILD diagnosis date as recorded in a commercial, Medicaid, or Medicare plan, using existing administrative claims and EHR data in Optum's Market Clarity Integrated Claims + Clinical database for the patient identification period (01-Oct-2016 through 30-Jun-2022).

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to Oxygen Therapy Initiation

    Time from the fibrosing Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) diagnosis date to oxygen therapy initiation is reported.

    Descriptive statistics are rounded to one decimal place.

    Measured: Up to 2099 days (from 01 October 2016 through 30 June 2022 (patient identification period)).

  2. Sustained Oxygen Therapy Use Within the First 12 Months of Follow-up

    The number of participants with ≥ 11 claims for oxygen therapy within 12 months of initiating oxygen therapy is reported.

    Using claims, sustained oxygen therapy use was defined among patients with at least 12 months of follow-up after the index date (oxygen initiation date), as a binary variable for the presence of ≥11 claims for oxygen therapy in a 12-month period.

    Measured: Up to month 12 of follow-up, in patient identification period from 01 October 2016 through 30 June 2022.

  3. Time to Sustained Oxygen Therapy Use

    Time between the fibrosing ILD diagnosis date and the earliest date that defined the sustained oxygen therapy use is reported.

    Sustained oxygen therapy was defined as ≥ 11 claims for oxygen therapy within 12 months of initiating oxygen therapy.

    Measured: Up to 2099 days (from 01 October 2016 through 30 June 2022 (patient identification period)).

  4. Number of Participants With Disease Progression From Pre-index Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) Result to Index Date

    The Number of participants with disease progression is reported instead of time to disease progression in the Outcome Measure Data Table.

    Disease progression was defined as a 10% relative change between the forced vital capacity (FVC) pre-index value and the index date.

    Measured: Up to 12 months prior to the index date (between 01 October 2016 through 30 June 2022 (patient identification period)).

  5. Number of Participants With Disease Progression From Index Date to Follow-up Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) Result

    The Number of participants with disease progression is reported instead of time to disease progression in the Outcome Measure Data Table.

    Disease progression was defined as a 10% relative change between the index date to follow-up FVC result.

    Measured: Up to month 12 of follow-up, in patient identification period from 01 October 2016 through 30 June 2022.

  6. Time to All-cause Mortality

    Time to all-cause mortality is calculated as time between index date and mortality date.

    The oxygen therapy cohort index date was defined as the first date of a claim for oxygen therapy.

    The no oxygen therapy cohort index date was assigned as a date that was eligible to set an index date.

    Measured: Up to 2099 days (from 01 October 2016 through 30 June 2022 (patient identification period)).

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Hypoxemia in the Pre-Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) Baseline Period

    Percentage of participants with hypoxemia in the pre-ILD baseline period. The Percentage of participants is reported instead of time to hypoxemia in the Outcome Measure Data Table.

    The pre-ILD baseline period is defined as 12 months prior to the fibrosing ILD diagnosis date.

    Measured: Up to 12 months prior to the fibrosing ILD diagnosis date (between 01 October 2016 through 30 June 2022 (patient identification period)).

  2. Percentage of Participants With Hypoxemia in the Pre-index Baseline Period

    Percentage of participants with hypoxemia in the pre-index baseline period. The Percentage of participants is reported instead of time to hypoxemia in the Outcome Measure Data Table.

    The pre-index period was defined as the 12-month period prior to the index date. The index date is the first day of follow-up observation time for Aim 2.

    Measured: Up to 12 months prior to the index date (between 01 October 2016 through 30 June 2022 (patient identification period)).

  3. Percentage of Participants With Acute Exacerbations Within the First 12 Month of the Follow up Period

    Percentage of participants with acute exacerbations within the first 12 month of the follow up period. The Percentage of participants is reported instead of time to acute exacerbations in the Outcome Measure Data Table.

    The follow up period (variable period) started on the index date until the earliest of the following: disenrollment from the health plan, death, or the end of the study period.

    Measured: Up to 12 months post index date (between 01 October 2016 through 30 June 2022 (patient identification period)).

  4. Percentage of Participants With Acute Exacerbations in the Pre-index Baseline Period

    Percentage of participants with acute exacerbations in the pre-index baseline period. The Percentage of participants is reported instead of time to acute exacerbations in the Outcome Measure Data Table.

    The pre-index period was defined as the 12-month period prior to the index date. The index date is the first day of follow-up observation time for Aim 2.

    Measured: Up to 12 months prior to the index date (between 01 October 2016 through 30 June 2022 (patient identification period)).

Individual data sharing
No: Clinical studies sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim, phases I to IV, interventional and non-interventional, are in scope for sharing of the raw clinical study data and clinical study documents. Exceptions might apply, e.g. studies in products where Boehringer Ingelheim is not the license holder; studies regarding pharmaceutical formulations and associated analytical methods, and studies pertinent to pharmacokinetics using human biomaterials; studies conducted in a single center or targeting rare diseases (in case of low number of patients and therefore limitations with anonymization).
