Eligibility

Inclusion criteria:

Participants who meet all of the following criteria are eligible for the study:

• A diagnosis of IPF within 5 years prior to the screening visit as per applicable American Thoracic Society (ATS)/European Respiratory Society(ERS)/Japanese Respiratory Society (JRS)/Latin American Thoracic Association (ALAT) guideline. Participants receiving local standard of care for the treatment of IPF, defined as either pirfenidone or nintedanib at a stable dose for at least 8 weeks before screening, and during screening; or neither pirfenidone nor nintedanib (for any reason). A stable dose is defined as the highest tolerated dose. Prednisone at steady dose less than or equal to 10 mg/day or equivalent glucocorticoid dose is allowed (stabilized 4 weeks prior to screening and continued without variation of dose or regimen). Supportive care like supplemental oxygen or pulmonary rehabilitation is allowed.

• Meeting all of the following criteria at screening and during the screening period:

• Forced vital capacity (FVC) greater than or equal to 50% predicted of normal

• Disease progression, defined as a decline of FVC (% predicted or milliliters [mL]) at the investigator's discretion, during the 9 months prior to the screening period and confirmed at the screening visit

• Diffusing capacity for the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) greater than or equal to 30% predicted of normal (corrected for hemoglobin)

• Ratio of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) to FVC greater than or equal to 0.70

• In a stable condition and suitable for study participation based on the results of a medical history, physical examination, vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), and laboratory evaluation. Stable condition is based on the clinical judgment of the investigator, co-morbidities should be treated according to the local applicable guidelines. Concomitant medication for chronic comorbidities should be stabilized from 4 weeks before screening and during the screening period (stable defined as no clinically relevant change according to the investigator's judgement).

• Able to walk at least 150 meters during the 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT) at screening; without having a contraindication to perform the 6MWT.

This list only describes the key inclusion criteria.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change From Baseline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at Week 26	Forced vital capacity (FVC) (in milliliter [mL]) is the maximum amount of air exhaled from lungs by a participant after taking their deepest possible breath, as measured by spirometry.	Baseline, Week 26
Secondary	Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious TEAEs, TEAEs Related to Study Drug, and TEAEs Leading to Study Drug Discontinuation	An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered study drug and which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with study drug. A TEAE was any AE with an onset date on or after the start of study drug intake and no later than 30 days after last dose of study drug, or any worsening of any AE on or after the start of study drug intake. A serious AE was defined as an AE that resulted in death, was life-threatening, required hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or was medically significant.	First dose date up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug (maximum up to 263 days)
Secondary	Time to Any Major Events Depicted by Cumulative Percentage of Participants With All-cause Deaths, Respiratory-related Deaths, All-cause Hospitalizations, and Respiratory-related Hospitalizations	Treatment effect on time to death (all-cause and respiratory-related)/hospitalization (all-cause and respiratory-related) were assessed using the log-rank test. Kaplan-Meier estimates were derived for the probability of death (all-cause and respiratory-related)/hospitalization (all-cause and respiratory-related). Cumulative percentage of participants with all-cause deaths, respiratory-related deaths, all-cause hospitalizations, and respiratory-related hospitalizations were reported.	Day 1 up to Week 30
Secondary	Change From Baseline in Total Distance Walked in Six-minute Walk Test (6MWT) at Week 26	The 6-MWT depicts the total distance covered by a participant during 6 minutes of walking.	Baseline, Week 26
Secondary	Change From Baseline in St.George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Total Score at Week 26	The SGRQ is a 50-item paper questionnaire designed to measure and quantify the impact of chronic respiratory disease on health-related quality of life (QOL) and well-being, split into 3 domains: symptoms (assessing the frequency and severity of respiratory symptoms), activity (assessing the effects of breathlessness on mobility and physical activity), and impact (assessing the psychosocial impact of the disease). Scores were weighted such that each domain score and the total score ranged from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating the poorer health-related QOL.	Baseline, Week 26
Secondary	Change From Baseline in SGRQ Domain Score at Week 26	The SGRQ is a 50-item paper questionnaire designed to measure and quantify the impact of chronic respiratory disease on health-related QOL and well-being, split into 3 domains: symptoms (assessing the frequency and severity of respiratory symptoms), activity (assessing the effects of breathlessness on mobility and physical activity), and impact (assessing the psychosocial impact of the disease). Scores were weighted such that each domain score ranged from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating the poorer health-related QOL.	Baseline, Week 26
Secondary	Percentage of SGRQ Responders	The SGRQ is a 50-item paper questionnaire designed to measure and quantify the impact of chronic respiratory disease on health-related QOL and well-being, split into 3 domains: symptoms (assessing the frequency and severity of respiratory symptoms), activity (assessing the effects of breathlessness on mobility and physical activity), and impact (assessing the psychosocial impact of the disease). Scores were weighted such that each domain score and total score ranged from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating the poorer health-related QOL. SGRQ responders are those with absolute change from baseline in SGRQ total score less than or equal to -4 percent (%) at least once.	Baseline up to Week 26
Secondary	Pre-dose Plasma Concentration (Ctrough) of GLPG1205 at Week 26	GLPG1205 pre-dose plasma concentration (Ctrough) at Week 26 was reported applying the exclusion rules (e.g. dose reduction, discontinuation, samples flagged).	Week 26 (pre-dose)
Secondary	Pre-dose Plasma Concentration (Ctrough) of Nintedanib at Week 20	Nintedanib pre-dose plasma concentration (Ctrough) at Week 20 was reported applying the exclusion rules (e.g. dose reduction, discontinuation, samples flagged).	Week 20 (pre-dose)
Secondary	Pre-dose Plasma Concentration (Ctrough) of Pirfenidone at Week 20	Pirfenidone pre-dose plasma concentration (Ctrough) at Week 20 was reported applying the exclusion rules (e.g. dose reduction, discontinuation, samples flagged).	Week 20 (pre-dose)
