Long-term Safety and Effects of Oral Nerandomilast in Adults With Idiopathic or Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis Who Completed Previous Nerandomilast Treatment

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis IPF or progressive pulmonary fibrosis PPF who have previously taken nerandomilast in another study. The aim is to assess how well patients tolerate long-term treatment with nerandomilast and to evaluate whether it improves lung function and delays worsening symptoms, hospital visits, or death. This open-label extension trial is sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim and focuses on treatment over an extended period. Participants take nerandomilast tablets for up to 1 year and 10 months while continuing their usual pulmonary fibrosis treatments. The study involves a single treatment group receiving the drug, and no placebo or comparison groups. Regular visits with doctors help monitor health and collect data during this extended treatment phase. Throughout the study, participants undergo regular lung function tests and health assessments to track any adverse events and changes in lung capacity. The main outcome measured is the occurrence of any adverse events for up to about 99 weeks. Secondary outcomes include changes in forced vital capacity and time to worsening of disease symptoms or hospitalization. The study includes ongoing safety monitoring with a total participation time of up to nearly two years.
