Brief Summary:

This is a phase IV, twelve week, open label, randomized, parallel group study to assess safety and tolerability of combined treatment with nintedanib and pirfenidone.

A secondary objective is to assess the exposure based on PK trough concentration values to nintedanib either given alone or in combination with pirfenidone and to assess the exposure of pirfenidone when combined with nintedanib.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Drug: Nintedanib Drug: Pirfenidone Phase 4

Expanded Access : Boehringer Ingelheim has indicated that access to an investigational treatment associated with this study is available outside the clinical trial.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Patients With On-treatment Gastrointestinal (GI) AEs (SOC GI Disorders) From Baseline to Week 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 12 ]

    Percentage of patients with on-treatment gastrointestinal (GI) Adverse events (AEs) (SOC GI disorders) from baseline to week 12.

    On-treatment AEs were defined as AEs with an onset from the first dose of randomised treatment up to the last dose of randomised treatment (inclusive).



Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Predose Plasma Concentrations at Steady State (Cpre,ss) of Nintedanib at Baseline, Weeks 2 and 4 [ Time Frame: baseline, prior to intake of study medication on week 2 and week 4 ]
    Predose plasma concentrations at steady state (Cpre,ss) of nintedanib at baseline (Visit 3), Week 2 (Visit 4) and Week 4 (Visit 5)

  2. Predose Plasma Concentrations at Steady State (Cpre,ss) of Pirfenidone [ Time Frame: Prior to intake of study medication on week 2 and week 4 ]
    Predose plasma concentrations at steady state (Cpre,ss) of pirfenidone at Week 2 (Visit 4) and Week 4 (Visit 5)
