Study summary

Prospective clinical pilot study for subjects diagnosed with Occupational Progressive Pneumoconiosis.

Subjects will be treated with Nintedanib 150mg twice daily for 3 years.

Read the detailed description

100 Patients with asbestosis, silicosis, coal workers pneumoconiosis and diffuse dust fibrosis will be included. Patients will have an FVC ≥45% predicted (no upper threshold), and a diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (TLCO) above 30% predicted. Patients will be randomised to receive Nintedanib 150 mg twice daily, with the dose of the study drug reduced to 100 mg twice daily or interrupted temporarily in the case of adverse events (AEs).The primary end point will be the annual decline in FVC, measured in millilitres per year, calculated from serial measurements over 36 months.

Lung function testing will be performed at baseline; 2, 4, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 44 and 52 weeks, and every 4 months thereafter until study cessation or withdrawal at a maximum of 36 months.

In patients who show clinical benefit as per the end points specified access to Nintedanib treatment will be continued.

Inclusion criteria

  • Pneumoconiosis diagnosis confirmed at the Occupational MDT (Occ-MDT)
  • diffuse fibrosing lung disease of extent >10% on HRCT with protocol criteria for progression
  • Asbestosis, silicosis, coal worker's pneumoconiosis and diffuse dust fibrosis
  • FVC ≥45% predicted and TLCO above 30% predicted

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and non-occupational progressive pulmonary fibrosis
  • ILD due to connective tissues disorders, pneumonitis, non-occupational interstitial pneumonia, non-occupational sarcoidosis
  • to Nintedanib (forthcoming surgery, use of anticoagulants, high CVD risk, liver function abnormalities)
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Interventions

06

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. annual decline in FVC

    measured in millilitres per year, calculated from serial measurements

    Time frame: 36 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. K-BILD score

    Absolute change from baseline in King's Brief Interstitial Lung Disease Questionnaire (K-BILD) total score. The KBILD domain and total score ranges are 0-100; 100 represents best health status

    Time frame: week 52

  2. Time to acute exacerbation

    an acute, clinically significant respiratory deterioration characterized by evidence of new, widespread alveolar abnormality, including unexplained worsening or development of dyspnea,new diffuse pulmonary infiltrates visualized on chest radiography, HRCT, or both, or the development of parenchymal abnormalities with no pneumothorax or pleural effusion (new ground-glass opacities) since the preceding visit; and exclusion of any known causes of acute worsening, including infection, left heart failure, pulmonary embolism, and any identifiable cause of acute lung injury, in accordance with routine clinical practice and microbiologic studies.

    Time frame: 36 months

  3. Time to referral for Lung transplantation

    Respiratory deterioration which necessitates a referral for lung transplant

    Time frame: 36 months

  4. Time to death

    Respiratory deterioration leading to death

    Time frame: 12, 24 and 36 months
