Background: In the INPULSIS trials, nintedanib reduced the annual rate of decline in forced vital capacity (FVC) versus placebo, consistent with slowing of disease progression. We characterised the effects of nintedanib on physiologic outcomes using pooled data from the INPULSIS trials.
Methods: Post-hoc analyses included changes in FVC over time, cumulative distribution of patients by change in FVC % predicted, and annual rate of decline in FVC in subgroups by diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLco) and composite physiologic index (CPI) at baseline. Changes from baseline in DLco and oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry (SpO) were pre-specified.
Results: Nintedanib significantly reduced FVC decline versus placebo from week 12. A higher proportion of patients treated with nintedanib than placebo had an improvement or no decline in FVC % predicted, whereas a smaller proportion had absolute declines in FVC ≥5% or ≥10% predicted from baseline to week 52. The effect of nintedanib on FVC decline was similar in patients with baseline DLco >40% versus ≤40% predicted or CPI ≤45 versus >45. There were no significant differences between nintedanib and placebo in change from baseline in DLco % predicted, CPI, or SpO at week 52. However, change (deterioration) in CPI was significantly lower with nintedanib versus placebo in patients with CPI > 45 at baseline (1.0 versus 2.9) and CPI >55 at baseline (-1.2 versus 3.3).
Conclusions: A range of physiologic outcome measures in the INPULSIS trials support the effect of nintedanib on reducing disease progression in patients with IPF.

Introduction: Following the INPULSIS and ASCEND studies, leading to the first two approved antifibrotic therapies for patients with IPF, ongoing investigations are firmly exploring novel agents for a targeted effective and better tolerated therapy able to improve the natural history of the disease.
Areas Covered: This review aims to analyze recent advances in pharmacological research of IPF, discussing the currently available treatments and the novel drugs under investigation in phase 3 trials, with particular emphasis on BI 1015550 and inhaled treprostinil. The literature search utilized Medline and Clinicaltrials.

Background: Nintedanib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor used in the treatment of progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). We assessed the safety and tolerability of nintedanib in patients with autoimmune disease-related ILDs and with other ILDs in subgroups by sex.
Methods: In this post-hoc analysis, we pooled data from the two INPULSIS trials in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), the SENSCIS trial in patients with fibrosing ILDs associated with systemic sclerosis, and the INBUILD trial in patients with progressive fibrosing ILDs other than IPF.
Meta-Analysis of Effect of Nintedanib on Reducing FVC Decline Across Interstitial Lung Diseases.

Introduction: The effect of nintedanib on slowing the rate of decline in forced vital capacity (FVC) has been investigated in randomized placebo-controlled trials in subjects with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), other progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), and ILD associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc-ILD). We assessed the consistency of the effect of nintedanib on the rate of decline in FVC over 52 weeks across four placebo-controlled phase III trials.
Methods: We used data on FVC decline from the INPULSIS-1 and INPULSIS-2 trials in subjects with IPF, the INBUILD trial in subjects with progressing fibrosing ILDs other than IPF, and the SENSCIS trial in subjects with SSc-ILD.

Background And Objective: Demographic and clinical variables, measured at baseline or over time, have been associated with mortality in subjects with progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). We used data from the INPULSIS trials in subjects with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and the INBUILD trial in subjects with other progressive fibrosing ILDs to assess relationships between demographic/clinical variables and mortality.
Methods: The relationships between baseline variables and time-varying covariates and time to death over 52 weeks were analysed using pooled data from the INPULSIS trials and, separately, the INBUILD trial using a Cox proportional hazards model.

Introduction: Among the various types of progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (PF-ILDs), substantial survival data exist for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) but not for other types. This hinders evidence-based decisions about treatment and management, as well as the economic modelling needed to justify research into new treatments and reimbursement approvals. Given the clinical similarities between IPF and other PF-ILDs, we reasoned that patient survival data from four major IPF trials could be used to estimate long-term survival in other PF-ILDs.
