Design of an open-label extension trial of nerandomilast (BI 1015550) in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (FIBRONEER™-ON).

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is a need for more effective treatments for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF). Nerandomilast (BI 1015550), an oral preferential inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 4B, is being evaluated in two randomized Phase III trials: FIBRONEER™-IPF (NCT05321069) and FIBRONEER™-ILD (NCT05321082). FIBRONEER™-ON is an open-label extension (OLE) of these studies that will evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of nerandomilast. Here, we describe the study design of the OLE.

Methods

This prospective 98-week OLE will follow the Phase III parent trials, which are currently underway with 1177 patients enrolled in FIBRONEER™-IPF and 1178 patients enrolled in FIBRONEER™-ILD. Approximately 1700 patients from 44 countries are expected to c
