E.2 Objective of the trial

E.2.1

Main objective of the trial

The primary objective of the trial will be to assess the effect of nintedanib on rate of change in extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover biomarker CRPM over 12 weeks which has shown to strongly associate with disease progression in patients with IPF in the PROFILE cohort.

E.2.2

Secondary objectives of the trial

A secondary objective is to confirm the observed results from the PROFILE cohort, i.e. to assess the predictive value of change in extracellular matrix (ECM) biomarkers CRPM, C1M and C3M over 12 weeks for disease progression as defined by FVC decline ≥10% or death over 52 weeks.

- Women of childbearing potential not willing or able to use highly effective methods of birth control per ICH M3 (R2) that result in a low failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly;
- Patients with acute IPF exacerbation or any respiratory tract infection in the four weeks prior to Visit 1 or during the screening period.
Visit 1 and/or Visit 2 should be postponed in case of an IPF exacerbation or respiratory tract infection. Refer to Section 6.1 for information on re-scheduling of visits;
- Patients who are currently participating in another trial or who have been participating in another trial within one month prior to Visit 1, and patients who have previously been enrolled in this trial.
