Research summary
The purpose of this trial is to demonstrate proof of concept of clinical activity of BI 1015550 on the change of Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) between baseline and 12 weeks.
New treatments are needed that further reduce the decline in FVC, positively affect symptoms and improve quality of life in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.
This trial will investigate BI 1015550 to be used in this patient population either as stand-alone treatment or in addition to local standard of care (SoC), which may or may not include currently approved antifibrotic treatments (nintedanib or pirfenidone). FVC change from baseline will be used to generate sufficient evidence of efficacy in the subpopulation on no background antifibrotic treatment, to inform the phase III program.REC name
