Efficacy of nintedanib in the treatment of adults with progressive fibrosing ILDs in the phase III INBUILD trial [36]

Primary population Adjusted annual rate of decline in FVC (mL/year)a Absolute change from BL in K-BILD total score at week 52b Acute exacerbation of ILD or death at week 52 (% of pts)b Death at week 52 (% of pts)b
Overall population
Nintedanib (n = 332) − 80.8 0.55 7.8 4.8
Placebo (n = 331) − 187.8 − 0.79 9.7 5.1
Difference vs placebo (95% CI) 107.0 (65.4 to 148.5)* 1.34 (−0.31 to 2.98)
Hazard ratio (95% CI) 0.80 (0.48 to 1.34) 0.94 (0.47 to 1.86)
Pts with a UIP-like fibrotic pattern
Nintedanib (n = 206) − 82.9 0.75 8.3 5.3
Placebo (n = 206) − 211.1 − 0.78 12.1 7.8
Difference vs placebo (95% CI) 128.2 (70.8 to 185.6)* 1.53 (−0.68 to 3.74)
Hazard ratio (95% CI) 0.67 (0.36 to 1.24) 0.68 (0.32 to 1.47)

BL baseline, FVC forced vital capacity, ILD(s) interstitial lung disease(s), K-BILD King’s Brief Interstitial Lung Disease questionnaire (range 0–100; higher scores represent better health status), pt(s) patient(s), UIP usual interstitial pneumonia

*p < 0.001 vs placebo

aPrimary endpoint (analysis based on all FVC measurements over 52-week period, including those from pts who prematurely discontinued study drug; analysis allowed for missing data with assumption they were missing at random)

bAbsolute change from BL in K-BILD total score at week 52, time to first acute exacerbation of ILD or death over 52-week period and time to death over 52-week period were main secondary endpoints (not adjusted for multiple comparisons); pt numbers analysed for K-BILD differ
