Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety Study of Oral Pirfenidone in Patients With Pulmonary Fibrosis/Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (NCT NCT00080223)

NCT ID: NCT00080223

Last Updated: 2017-04-17

Results Overview

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. AEs were classified as severe (Grade 3) in following cases: marked limitation in activity; some assistance usually required; medical intervention/ therapy required, hospitalization possible. Treatment-emergent AEs were those occurring on or after the first dosing day and up to 28 days after discontinuation of study treatment, and those occurring before treatment that worsened after the first study dose. AE included serious as well as non-serious AEs.

Participant Flow

Participants could enroll from Study PIPF-001 (a double-blind comparison of pirfenidone and prednisone in pulmonary fibrosis); individual-patient protocols (IPPs); investigator-sponsored Investigational New Drug applications (INDs) in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF); and via an early access program (EAP) for participants with IPF.

Pirfenidone
Pirfenidone was administered orally, in divided doses, three times daily at a maximum dose of up to 3600 milligram per day (mg/d). At the start of treatment in this study, doses for participants with no previous pirfenidone exposure and for those who took their last dose greater than (\>) 4 weeks before enrollment were titrated to their maintenance dose based on body weight and tolerability. Dose titration was also required after a dosing interruption of \>28 days. Pirfenidone was administered for a maximum duration of 604 weeks in this study.

FVC is a standard pulmonary function test used to quantify respiratory muscle weakness. FVC is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out from the lungs after full inspiration in the upright position, measured in liters. Predicted FVC is based on a formula using sex, age and height of a person, and is an estimate of healthy lung capacity. Percent of predicted FVC = (actual FVC value in liter)/(predicted FVC) \* 100%

Measure
Pirfenidone
n=83 participants at risk
Pirfenidone was administered orally, in divided doses, three times daily at a maximum dose of up to 3600 mg/d. At the start of treatment in this study, doses for participants with no previous pirfenidone exposure and for those who took their last dose \>4 weeks before enrollment were titrated to their maintenance dose based on body weight and tolerability. Dose titration was also required after a dosing interruption of \>28 days. Pirfenidone was administered for a maximum duration of 604 weeks in this study.
