Definition of abbreviations: ASCEND = Assessment of Pirfenidone to Confirm Efficacy and Safety in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis; CTGF = connective tissue growth factor; FGFR = fibroblast growth factor receptor; INPULSIS = Efficacy and Safety of BIBF 1120 at High Dose in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Patients; PDGFR = platelet-derived growth factor receptor; VEGFR = vascular endothelial growth factor receptor.

*

Progression defined as a categorical decrease in FVC % predicted (>10% relative decrease in FVC or >5% absolute decrease in FVC).
