A Study to Find Out Whether BI 1015550 Improves Lung Function in People With Progressive Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Diseases (PF-ILDs)

Study Purpose

This study is open to adults with Progressive Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Diseases (PF-ILDs). People who have a form of PF-ILD other than Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) can join the study. If they already take nintedanib, they can continue treatment throughout the study. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1015550 helps people with PF-ILD. Participants are put into 3 groups randomly, which means by chance. Participants in 2 groups take different doses of BI 1015550 as tablets twice a day. Participants in the placebo group take placebo tablets twice a day. Placebo tablets look like BI 1015550 tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants are in the study for up to two and a half years. During the first year, they visit the study site 10 times. Afterwards, they visit the study site every 3 months. The doctors regularly test participants' lung function. The results of the lung function tests are compared between the groups. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Interventional
Eligible Ages	18 Years and Over
Gender	All

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion criteria. 1. Patients ≥18 years old at the time of signed informed consent. 2. Signed and dated written informed consent in accordance with ICH-GCP and local legislation prior to admission to the trial. 3. Diagnosis of progressive fibrosing ILD other than IPF (physician confirmed). 4. Patients may be either:

- on a stable therapy* with nintedanib for at least 12 weeks prior to Visit 1 and during screening and are planning to stay on this background treatment after randomization.

(*stable therapy is defined as a tolerated regimen of nintedanib (with no dose changes) for at least 12 weeks)

- not on treatment with nintedanib for at least 8 weeks prior to Visit 1 and during the screening period (e.g. either Antifibrotic (AF)-treatment naïve or previously discontinued) and do not plan to start or re-start antifibrotic treatment.

5. Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) ≥45% of predicted normal at Visit 1. 6. DLCO ≥25% of predicted normal corrected for hemoglobin (Hb) at Visit 1. 7. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must be ready and able to use highly effective methods of birth control. WOCBP taking oral contraceptives (OCs) also have to use one barrier method. 8. Patients treated with permitted immunosuppressive agents (other than corticosteroids) for an underlying systemic disease (e.g. Methotrexate (MTX), Azathioprine (AZA)) need to be on a stable treatment for at least 12 weeks prior to Visit 1 and during the screening period. Exclusion criteria. 1. Prebronchodilator Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1)/Forced vital capacity (FVC) <0.7 at Visit 1. 2. In the opinion of the Investigator, other clinically significant pulmonary abnormalities. 3. Acute Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) exacerbation within 3 months prior to Visit 1 and/or during the screening period (investigator-determined). 4. Relevant chronic or acute infections including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and viral hepatitis. 5. Patients having developed ILD due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection/coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) within 12 months of screening (based on investigators judgement). 6. Major surgery (major according to the investigator's assessment) performed within 6 weeks prior to Visit 2 or planned during the trial period, e.g. hip replacement. Registration on lung transplantation list would not be considered as planned major surgery. 7. Any documented active or suspected malignancy or history of malignancy within 5 years prior to Visit 1, except appropriately treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin, in situ squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma of uterine cervix. 8. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) >2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or total Bilirubin >1.5 x ULN at Visit 1. Further exclusion criteria apply.

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT05321082
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.	Phase 3
