In France, regulations did not permit the collection of data on race.

Based on qualitative assessment of HRCT scans.

n = 415 for nintedanib and n = 295 for placebo in confirmation of UIP by surgical lung biopsy subgroup; n = 209 for nintedanib and n = 124 for placebo in features of possible UIP and traction bronchiectasis on HRCT and no biopsy.
