E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the efficacy of two doses of GLPG1690 in addition to local standard of care compared to placebo in subjects with IPF as evaluated by the rate of decline of FVC over a period of 52 weeks |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate the impact of two doses of GLPG1690 in addition to local standard of care compared to placebo in subjects with IPF on:
- Disease progression defined as deterioration of FVC or all-cause mortality at 52 weeks
- Respiratory-related hospitalization until the end of the study
- Changes in quality of life (measured by St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire [SGRQ] total score) at 52 weeks |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- Male or female subject aged ≥40 years on the day of signing the ICF.
- A diagnosis of IPF within 5 years prior to the screening visit, as per applicable ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT guidelines.
- Chest HRCT historically performed within 12 months prior to the screening visit and according to the minimum requirements for IPF diagnosis by central review based on subject’s HRCT only (if no LB available), or based on both HRCT and LB (with application of the different criteria in either situation). If an evaluable HRCT <12 months prior to screening is not available, an HRCT can be performed at screening to determine eligibility, according to the same requirements as the historical HRCT.
- Subjects receiving local standard of care for the treatment of IPF, defined as either pirfenidone or nintedanib, or neither pirfenidone nor nintedanib (for any reason).
- The extent of fibrotic changes is greater than the extent of emphysema on the most recent HRCT scan (investigator-determined).
- Meeting all of the following criteria during the screening period: FVC ≥45% predicted of normal, Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)/FVC ≥0.7, DLCO corrected for Hb ≥30% predicted of normal.
- Estimated minimum life expectancy of at least 30 months for non IPF related disease in the opinion of the investigator.
- Male subjects and female subjects of childbearing potential agree to use highly effective contraception/preventive exposure measures from the time of first dose of IMP (for the male subject) or the signing of the ICF (for the female subject), during the study, and until 90 days (male) or 30 days (female) after the last dose of IMP.
- Able to walk at least 150 meters during the 6MWT at screening Visit 1; without having a contraindication to perform the 6MWT (see Appendix 10) or without a condition putting the subject at risk of falling during the test (investigator’s discretion). The use of a cane is allowed, the use of a stroller is not allowed at all for any condition. At Visit 2, for the oxygen titration test, resting SpO2 should be ≥88% with maximum 6 L O2/minute; during the walk, SpO2 should be ≥83% with 6 L O2/minute or ≥88% with ≤4 L O2/minute. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- History of malignancy within the past 5 years (except for carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix, basal cell carcinoma of the skin that has been treated with no evidence of recurrence, prostate cancer that has been medically managed through active surveillance or watchful waiting, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin if fully resected, and Ductal Carcinoma In Situ).
- Acute IPF exacerbation within 6 months prior to screening and/or during the screening period.
- Lower respiratory tract infection requiring antibiotics within 4 weeks prior to screening and/or during the screening period.
- Interstitial lung disease associated with known primary diseases (e.g. sarcoidosis and amyloidosis), exposures (e.g. radiation, silica, asbestos, and coal dust), or drugs (e.g. amiodarone).
- Diagnosis of severe pulmonary hypertension (investigator-determined).
- Unstable cardiovascular, pulmonary (other than IPF), or other disease within 6 months prior to screening or during the screening period (e.g. acute coronary disease, heart failure, and stroke).
- Underwent major surgery within 3 months prior to screening or have major surgery planned during the study period.
- Abnormal LFT at screening, defined as AST, and/or ALT, and/or total bilirubin ≥1.5xULN, and/or GGT ≥3xULN. Retesting is allowed once.
- Abnormal renal function defined as estimated creatinine clearance, calculated according to Cockcroft-Gault calculation (CCr) <30 mL/min. Retesting is allowed once.
- Use of any of the following therapies within 4 weeks prior to screening and during the screening period, or planned during the study: warfarin, imatinib, ambrisentan, azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine A, bosentan, methotrexate, sildenafil (except for occasional use), prednisone at steady dose >10 mg/day or equivalent. |
