Design of a randomised controlled hybrid trial of nintedanib in patients with progressive myositis-associated interstitial lung disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Myositis Interstitial Lung Disease Nintedanib Trial (MINT) is a hybrid trial, which is enrolling patients both at local sites and remotely via a decentralised site. The trial will investigate the efficacy and safety of nintedanib in patients with progressive myositis-associated interstitial lung disease (MA-ILD).

Methods/design

MINT is an exploratory, prospective randomised placebo-controlled trial. Eligible patients will have myositis and evidence of fibrosing ILD on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), be taking standard of care medications for myositis, and meet criteria for ILD progression within the prior 24 months based on decline in FVC, worsened fibrosis on HRCT, and/or worsened dyspnoea. Patients will be randomised 1:1 to receive nintedanib 150
