Primary Outcome(s)

Secondary Objective: A secondary objective is to confirm the observed results from the PROFILE cohort, i.e. to assess the predictive value of change in extracellular matrix (ECM) biomarkers CRPM, C1M and C3M over 12 weeks for disease progression as defined by FVC decline =10% or death over 52 weeks.

Primary end point(s): 1: The rate of change (slope) in blood CRPM from baseline to week 12.

Main Objective: The primary objective of the trial will be to assess the effect of nintedanib on rate of change in extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover biomarker CRPM over 12 weeks which has shown to strongly associate with disease progression in patients with IPF in the PROFILE cohort.

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1: 12 weeks

Secondary Outcome(s)

Secondary end point(s): The key secondary endpoint
1: Proportion of patients with disease progression as defined by absolute FVC (% predicted) decline =10% or death until week 52 based on in clinic supervised spirometry.

Secondary endpoints:
2: Rate of change (slope) in blood C1M from baseline to week 12 3: Rate of change (slope) in blood C3M from baseline to week 12.

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1: 52 weeks
2: 12 weeks
3: 12 weeks
