About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effects of Nintedanib and Pirfenidone on Pulmonary Function Test Parameters and Radiological Findingsin Patients With Pulmonary Fibrosis

The goal of this observational study is to compare the effects of pirfenidone and nintedanib on lung function and radiologic findings in fibrotic lung diseases. The main question it aims to answer is:

  • Do these two drugs have equivalent effects on progression in patients with pulmonary fibrosis? If there is a comparison group: The investigators will compare patients with pulmonary fibrosis receiving pirfenidone with patients with pulmonary fibrosis receiving nintedanip.

The investigators will compare patients with pulmonary fibrosis receiving pirfenidone and patients with pulmonary fibrosis receiving nintedanip.

Pulmonary function test parameters at 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th months and differences of 6 MWT parameters compared to baseline will be compared between the two groups.

Read the detailed description

The data of patients who were started Pirfenidone or Nintedanib treatment with the diagnosis of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis or Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis according to An Official ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT Clinical Practice guideline and treated for at least one year in our department between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The included patients had not previously used steroids or similar drugs for lung disease. The study was initiated after approval of the local ethics committee.

File information, pulmonary function test parameters and radiologic data, gender, age and comorbidity information of all patients were obtained from the hospital database. Pulmonary function tests were performed using a COSMED Quark 2021 model device. Patients were divided into two groups as nintedanib and pirfenidone group and both groups were compared in terms of progression in pulmonary function tests and radiologic findings within 1 year of diagnosis. For this purpose, the difference of pulmonary function test parameters (FVC (mL-%), FEV1 (mL-%), FEV1/FVC, FEF25-75 (mL-%), and 6-minute walk test values at the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th months of all patients from the baseline values at the time of diagnosis were analyzed and these differences were compared between the two groups.Thorax CT findings were also compared between the two groups for the presence of progression. Patients whose radiologic and PFT data at initial presentation were not available, patients whose treatment was discontinued before 1 year due to side effects or unresponsiveness or death, and patients who were switched between the two drugs before 1 year had elapsed were excluded from the study.

Statistical analysis Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to test the normal distribution of the continuous variables. The data characterized by a normal distribution are expressed as mean±standard deviation. Student's t-tests was used for the comparison of the data which had a normal distribution. Mann-Whitney-U test was used for the comparison of the non-normally distributed data. The discrete variables were compared using Chi-squared test. P <0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. The data were analyzed using the SPSS statistical software (version 13.01, serial number 9069728, SPSS Inc., Chicago).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), run by Karadeniz Technical University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 21 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Comparison of pulmonary function test parameters of pirfenidone and nintedanip groups after 1-year follow-up (time frame: January 1 2010 and December 31 2022). 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 NCT06650774, 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 21 Oct 2024.
