The natural history of progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases.

ABSTRACT: We used data from the INBUILD and INPULSIS trials to investigate the natural history of progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs).Subjects in the two INPULSIS trials had a clinical diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) while subjects in the INBUILD trial had a progressive fibrosing ILD other than IPF and met protocol-defined criteria for ILD progression despite management. Using data from the placebo groups, we compared the rate of decline in forced vital capacity (FVC) (mL·year-1) and mortality over 52 weeks in the INBUILD trial with pooled data from the INPULSIS trials.The adjusted mean annual rate of decline in FVC in the INBUILD trial (n=331) was similar to that observed in the INPULSIS trials (n=423) (-192.9 mL·year-1 and -221.0 mL·year-1, respectively; nominal p-value=0.19). The proportion of subjects who had a relative decline in FVC >10% predicted at Week 52 was 48.9% in the INBUILD trial and 48.7% in the INPULSIS trials, and the proportion who died over 52 weeks was 5.1% in the INBUILD trial and 7.8% in the INPULSIS trials. A relative decline in FVC >10% predicted was associated with an increased risk of death in the INBUILD trial (hazard ratio 3.64) and the INPULSIS trials (hazard ratio 3.95).These findings indicate that patients with fibrosing ILDs other than IPF, who are progressing despite management, have a subsequent clinical course similar to patients with untreated IPF, with a high risk of further ILD progression and early mortality.

Project description:BackgroundIn the INBUILD trial in patients with chronic fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) and a progressive phenotype, nintedanib reduced the rate of ILD progression with adverse events that were manageable for most patients. We investigated the potential impact of immunomodulatory therapies on the efficacy and safety of nintedanib.MethodsSubjects with fibrosing ILDs other than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, who had shown progression of ILD within the prior 24 months despite management in clinical practice, were randomized to receive nintedanib or placebo. Certain immunomodulatory therapies were restricted for the first 6 months. We analyzed post-hoc the rate of decline in forced vital capacity (FVC) over 52 weeks in subgroups by glucocorticoid use at baseline and in analyses excluding subjects or FVC measurements taken after initiation of restricted immunomodulatory or antifibrotic therapies.ResultsOf 663 subjects, 361 (54.4%) were taking glucocorticoids at baseline (353 at a dose of ≤ 20 mg/day). In the placebo group, the adjusted rate of decline in FVC (mL/year) over 52 weeks was numerically greater in subjects taking than not taking glucocorticoids at baseline (- 206.4 [SE 20.2] vs - 165.8 [21.9]). The difference between the nintedanib and placebo groups was 133.3 (95% CI 76.6, 190.0) mL/year in subjects taking glucocorticoids at baseline and 76.1 (15.0, 137.2) mL/year in subjects who were not (interaction P = 0.18). The effect of nintedanib on reducing the rate of FVC decline in analyses excluding subjects or measurements taken after initiation of restricted immunomodulatory or antifibrotic therapies was similar to the primary analysis. The adverse event profile of nintedanib was similar between subjects who did and did not use prohibited or restricted therapies at baseline or during treatment with trial drug.ConclusionsIn patients with progressive fibrosing ILDs, the effect of nintedanib on reducing FVC decline was not influenced by the use of immunomodulatory therapies. Nintedanib can be used in combination with immunomodulatory therapies in patients with progressive fibrosing ILDs. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02999178.
