E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To determine the safety and tolerability of FG-3019 administered at a dose of 30 mg/kg by IV infusion every 3 weeks.
To determine the effect of FG-3019 on FVC (percent of predicted value) when administered at a dose of 30 mg/kg by IV infusion every 3 weeks for 45 weeks in the target population. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Efficacy:
1. To evaluate the effect of FG-3019 on the extent of pulmonary fibrosis as measured by HRCT ( high resolution computer tomography) scans of the chest.
2. To evaluate the relationship between changes in quantified scores of pulmonary fibrosis and clinical outcomes.
3. To evaluate the effect of FG-3019 on progression of IPF and the frequency of respiratory-related hospitalizations and respiratory-related mortality.
4. To evaluate the effect of FG-3019 on health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
Exploratory Efficacy Objectives:
1. To evaluate the effect of FG-3019 on FVC (liters).
2. To evaluate the effect of FG-3019 on a panel of serum and plasma biomarkers.
3. To evaluate the relationship between known chromosomal loci associated with IPF and the response to FG-3019. |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1.Age 40 to 80 years, inclusive.
2.Clinical diagnosis of IPF by high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan (and in some cases by surgical lung biopsy) and reduced lung function (forced vital capacity).
3.History of IPF of 5 years duration or less.
4.Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) equal or greater than 55% predicted value at screening.
5.Women of childbearing potential (including those <1 year postmenopausal) and men with women partners of childbearing potential must use double barrier contraception methods during the conduct of the study, and for 3 months after the last dose of study drug.
6.All subjects enrolled to FG-3019 whose FVC percent predicted value (mean of Week 36 and Week 48 values) is greater than the original pre-treatment baseline (mean of Screening Visit 1 and Day 1 values) and all subjects assigned to Placebo in the Randomized Treatment Phase will be offered participation in an Extended Treatment Phase. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1.Women who are pregnant or nursing.
2.History of any other types of lung or heart disease and any other medical conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, would impact the endpoints in the protocol or otherwise preclude the subject's participation in the study.
3.Clinically important abnormal laboratory tests.
4.Upper or lower respiratory tract infection of any type within 4 weeks of screening.
5.Acute exacerbation of IPF within 3 months of screening.
6.Use of medications to treat IPF within 5 half-lives of Day 1 dosing. If monoclonal antibodies were used, the last dose of the antibody must be at least 4 weeks before Day 1 dosing.
7. Use of investigational drugs, including any investigational drugs for IPF, within 4 weeks prior to Day 1 dosing.
8.History of cancer of any type in the 3 years preceding the first screening visit, excluding non-melanomatous skin cancer, localized bladder cancer, or in situ cancer.
9.Diffusing capacity (DLCO) less than 30% of predicted value.
10.History of allergic or anaphylactic reaction to human, humanized, chimeric or murine monoclonal antibodies.
11.Previous treatment with FG-3019.
12.Body weight greater than 130 kilograms. |
