Abstract
BACKGROUND In previous Japanese subgroup/subset analyses of the global INBUILD trial, nintedanib reduced the annual rate of forced vital capacity (FVC) decline and the risk of disease progression in patients with progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (PF-ILDs). This exploratory subset analysis assessed the effect of nintedanib on symptoms and impacts of pulmonary fibrosis in Japanese patients with PF-ILDs, including those with usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP)-like fibrotic pattern on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). METHODS This analysis included Japanese patients who received at least one dose of study treatment in the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled INBUILD trial. The Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis (L-PF) questionnaire was used to assess pulmonary fibrosis symptoms and impacts (higher scores indicated greater impairment) at baseline and weeks 12-52. RESULTS In total, 108 Japanese patients (nintedanib: n = 52; placebo: n = 56) were included; 84 patients had UIP-like fibrotic pattern on HRCT. In the total Japanese subgroup and in those with UIP-like fibrotic pattern, numerically greater increases in L-PF total, symptoms total, symptoms fatigue domain, and impacts scores were observed in the placebo group than in the nintedanib group at all timepoints, starting from week 12. A numerically greater increase in the symptoms dyspnea domain score was observed with placebo versus nintedanib starting from week 36. Throughout the study, the symptoms cough domain score increased in the placebo group but decreased in the nintedanib group. CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrate that nintedanib has the potential to reduce the worsening of symptoms and impacts of pulmonary fibrosis in Japanese patients with PF-ILDs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE In the INBUILD trial in patients with progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), nintedanib reduced the rate of decline in forced vital capacity (FVC) with an adverse event profile characterized mainly by gastrointestinal events. We analysed the effects of nintedanib in the subset of Asian subjects. METHODS Subjects with fibrosing ILDs other than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis who had shown progression of ILD at any time within the prior 24 months despite management deemed appropriate in clinical practice were randomized to receive nintedanib or placebo. We analysed the rate of decline in FVC (ml/year) over 52 weeks in all Asian subjects and in Asian subjects with a usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP)-like fibrotic pattern on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). RESULTS One hundred sixty-four subjects in the INBUILD trial were of Asian race. The rate of decline in FVC (ml/year) over 52 weeks in this subgroup was -116.8 in the nintedanib group and -207.9 in the placebo group (difference: 91.0 [95% CI: 8.1, 173.9]; nominal p = 0.03). In Asian subjects with a UIP-like fibrotic pattern on HRCT, the rate of decline in FVC (ml/year) over 52 weeks was -130.1 in the nintedanib group and -224.2 in the placebo group (difference: 94.1 [5.5, 182.7]; nominal p = 0.04). Adverse events led to treatment discontinuation in 19.0% of the nintedanib group and 13.8% of the placebo group. CONCLUSION In Asian patients with progressive fibrosing ILDs, nintedanib reduced the rate of decline in FVC with adverse events that were manageable for most patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A previous subgroup analysis of data from the INBUILD trial showed that nintedanib reduced the annual rate of decline in forced vital capacity (FVC) in Japanese patients with progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (PF-ILDs). The safety profile of nintedanib over 52 weeks in Japanese patients was similar to that of the overall population. METHODS Using data from 108 Japanese patients with PF-ILDs who had received at least 1 dose of study medication in the INBUILD trial, we evaluated the effect of nintedanib on disease progression and assessed the safety profile over the whole trial period (i.e., a longer duration than the prior analysis) compared with placebo. ILD progression was defined as an absolute decline in FVC ≥10% predicted vs baseline. RESULTS Over the whole trial, in Japanese patients with PF-ILDs, nintedanib numerically lowered the risk of progression of ILD or death (hazard ratio [HR], 0.66; 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 0.37, 1.16), acute exacerbation of ILD or death (HR, 0.28; 95% CI: 0.09, 0.83), and death (HR, 0.41; 95% CI: 0.11, 1.51). The most common adverse event over the whole trial in nintedanib-treated Japanese patients was diarrhea, which was manageable for most patients by dose reduction and interruption. The safety profile of nintedanib in this longer duration analysis was consistent with that previously reported. CONCLUSIONS In this analysis of data from Japanese patients with PF-ILDs, nintedanib nominally reduced the risk of clinically meaningful outcomes reflecting disease progression, including death, over the whole trial, and no new safety concerns were observed.
