Nintedanib in children and adolescents with fibrosing interstitial lung diseases.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Childhood interstitial lung disease (ILD) comprises a spectrum of rare ILDs affecting infants, children and adolescents. Nintedanib is a licensed treatment for pulmonary fibrosis in adults. The primary objectives of the InPedILD trial were to determine the dose-exposure and safety of nintedanib in children and adolescents with fibrosing ILD.

Methods

Patients aged 6-17 years with fibrosing ILD on high-resolution computed tomography and clinically significant disease were randomised 2:1 to receive nintedanib or placebo for 24 weeks and then open-label nintedanib. Dosing was based on weight-dependent allometric scaling. Co-primary end-points were the area under the plasma concentration-time curve at steady state (AUC_τ,ss) at weeks 2 and 26 and the proportion of patients with treatment-emergent adverse events at week 24.

Results

26 patients received nintedanib and 13 patients received placebo. The geometric mean (geometric coefficient of variation) AUC_τ,ss for nintedanib was 175 µg·h·L^-1 (85.1%) in patients aged 6-11 years and 160 µg·h·L^-1 (82.7%) in patients aged 12-17 years. In the double-blind period, adverse events were reported in 84.6% of patients in each treatment group. Two patients discontinued nintedanib due to adverse events. Diarrhoea was reported in 38.5% and 15.4% of the nintedanib and placebo groups, respectively. Adjusted mean±se changes in percentage predicted forced vital capacity at week 24 were 0.3±1.3% in the nintedanib group and -0.9±1.8% in the placebo group.

Conclusions

In children and adolescents with fibrosing ILD, a weight-based dosing regimen resulted in exposure to nintedanib similar to adults and an acceptable safety profile. These data provide a scientific basis for the use of nintedanib in this patient population.

Project description:BackgroundIn the INBUILD trial in patients with chronic fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) and a progressive phenotype, nintedanib reduced the rate of ILD progression with adverse events that were manageable for most patients. We investigated the potential impact of immunomodulatory therapies on the efficacy and safety of nintedanib.MethodsSubjects with fibrosing ILDs other than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, who had shown progression of ILD within the prior 24 months despite management in clinical practice, were randomized to receive nintedanib or placebo. Certain immunomodulatory therapies were restricted for the first 6 months. We analyzed post-hoc the rate of decline in forced vital capacity (FVC) over 52 weeks in subgroups by glucocorticoid use at baseline and in analyses excluding subjects or FVC measurements taken after initiation of restricted immunomodulatory or antifibrotic therapies.ResultsOf 663 subjects, 361 (54.4%) were taking glucocorticoids at baseline (353 at a dose of ≤ 20 mg/day). In the placebo group, the adjusted rate of decline in FVC (mL/year) over 52 weeks was numerically greater in subjects taking than not taking glucocorticoids at baseline (- 206.4 [SE 20.2] vs - 165.8 [21.9]). The difference between the nintedanib and placebo groups was 133.3 (95% CI 76.6, 190.0) mL/year in subjects taking glucocorticoids at baseline and 76.1 (15.0, 137.2) mL/year in subjects who were not (interaction P = 0.18). The effect of nintedanib on reducing the rate of FVC decline in analyses excluding subjects or measurements taken after initiation of restricted immunomodulatory or antifibrotic therapies was similar to the primary analysis. The adverse event profile of nintedanib was similar between subjects who did and did not use prohibited or restricted therapies at baseline or during treatment with trial drug.ConclusionsIn patients with progressive fibrosing ILDs, the effect of nintedanib on reducing FVC decline was not influenced by the use of immunomodulatory therapies. Nintedanib can be used in combination with immunomodulatory therapies in patients with progressive fibrosing ILDs. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02999178.
