Sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim · Observational
This is an active surveillance study to monitor the real world safety of nintedanib in Indian patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. The safety of nintedanib has been assessed in clinical trials.This active surveillance aims to collect the safety data of 200 IPF patients treated with nintedanib in approved indication after the commercial availability of the drug in India (23rd January 2017). The objective is to look at safety of nintedanib in the real world setting.
680 studies on the registry are indexed under Pulmonary Fibrosis; 119 are open to participants now.

Incidence Rate of All ADRs in Nintedanib Treated Patients
Incidence of all Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) in nintedanib treated patients is reported. An adverse reaction is defined as at least a reasonable possibility of a causal relationship between a suspected medicinal product and an adverse event. Incidence rate was calculated using the number of patients with ADRs events per treatment divided by time at risk expressed as \[100 patient-years (pt-yrs)\]. Time at risk was calculated as below: If patients with AE: Time at risk= (start date of first AE- start date of treatment administration) +1; If patients without AE: Time at risk= (end of date at risk (date of study completion or date of discontinuation or last visit date available)-start date of treatment administration) +1.
Time frame: From the day Nintedanib was initiated until 52 weeks, up to 52 weeks.
Incidence Rate of All SAEs in Nintedanib Treated Patients
Incidence rate of all Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) in nintedanib treated patients is reported. A SAE was defined as any adverse event which: * results in death, * is life-threatening, * requires in-patient hospitalization, or * prolongation of existing hospitalisation, * results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, or * is a congenital anomaly/birth defect. Incidence rate was calculated using the number of patients with SAEs events per treatment divided by time at risk expressed as \[100 patient-years (pt-yrs)\]. Time at risk was calculated as below: If patients with AE: Time at risk= (start date of first AE- start date of treatment administration) +1; If patients without AE: Time at risk= (end of date at risk (date of study completion or date of discontinuation or last visit date available)-start date of treatment administration) +1.
Time frame: From the day Nintedanib was initiated until 52 weeks, up to 52 weeks.
Percentage of Patients With AEs Leading to Permanent Dose Reductions of Study Drug
Percentage of patients with Adverse Events (AEs) leading to permanent dose reductions of study drug is reported.
Time frame: From the day Nintedanib was initiated until 52 weeks, up to 52 weeks.
Percentage of Patients With AEs Causing Dose Interruption of Study Drug
Percentage of patients with Adverse Events (AEs) causing dose interruption of study drug is reported.
Time frame: From the day Nintedanib was initiated until 52 weeks, up to 52 weeks.
Percentage of Patients With AEs Leading to Permanently Discontinuation of Study Drug
Percentage of patients with adverse events (AEs) leading to permanently discontinuation of study drug is reported. Percentages are rounded to one decimal places.
Time frame: From the day Nintedanib was initiated until 52 weeks, up to 52 weeks.
This active surveillance study aimed to collect the safety data of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) patients who were treated with nintedanib in approved indication after the commercial availability of the drug in India (23rd January 2017).

Plan to share: No — Clinical studies sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim, phases I to IV, interventional and non-interventional, are in scope for sharing of the raw clinical study data and clinical study documents. Exceptions might apply, e.g. studies in products where Boehringer Ingelheim is not the license holder; studies regarding pharmaceutical formulations and associated analytical methods, and studies pertinent to pharmacokinetics using human biomaterials; studies conducted in a single center or targeting rare diseases (in case of low number of patients and therefore limitations with anonymization).
