Clinical Trial Summary

This study is open to adults with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) who are at least 40 years old. People taking standard medicines for IPF, including antifibrotic medicines, can continue taking them throughout the study.

The purpose of the study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1015550 can slow down the worsening of lung function. Participants are in the study for about 4 months. During this time, they visit the study site about 7 times. At the beginning, they visit the study site every 2 weeks.

After 1 month of treatment, they visit the study site every 4 weeks.

The participants are put into 2 groups by chance. 1 group gets BI 1015550. The other group gets placebo. Placebo tablets look like BI 1015550 tablets but contain no medicine. The participants take BI 1015550 or placebo tablets twice a day.

The participants have lung function tests at study visits. The results of the lung function tests are compared between the BI 1015550 group and the placebo group. The doctors also regularly check the general health of the participants.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients aged =40 years when signing the informed consent.

2. Diagnosis:

1. IPF based on 2018 ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT Guideline as confirmed by the investigator based on chest High Resolution Computed Tomography Scan (HRCT) scan taken within 12 months of Visit 1 and if available surgical lung biopsy.

and

2. Usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) or probable UIP HRCT pattern consistent with the clinical diagnosis of IPF, as confirmed by central review prior to Visit 2*

• if indeterminate HRCT finding IPF may be confirmed locally by (historical) biopsy

3. Stable for at least 8 weeks prior to Visit 1. Patients have to be either :

• not on therapy with nintedanib or pirfenidone for at least 8 weeks prior to Visit 1 (combination of nintedanib plus pirfenidone not allowed), or

• on stable* therapy with nintedanib or pirfenidone for at least 8 weeks prior to Visit 1 and planning to stay stable on this background therapy after randomisation.

[*stable therapy is defined as the individually and general tolerated regimen of either pirfenidone or nintedanib]

4. Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) =45% of predicted normal at Visit 1

5. Diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) (corrected for haemoglobin [Hb] [Visit 1]) = 25% to < 80% of predicted normal at Visit 1.

6. Signed and dated written informed consent in accordance with ICH-GCP and local legislation prior to admission to the trial.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Relevant airways obstruction (pre-bronchodilator Forced Expiratory Volume in one 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 IPF exacerbation within 4 months prior to screening and/or during the screening period (investigator-determined).

4. Lower respiratory tract infection requiring antibiotics within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1 and/or during the screening period.

5. Major surgery (major according to the investigator's assessment) performed within 3 months prior to Visit 1 or planned during the course of the trial. (Being on a transplant list is allowed).

6. 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, "under surveillance" prostate cancer or in situ carcinoma of uterine cervix.

7. Evidence of active infection (chronic or acute) based on clinical exam or laboratory findings at Visit 1 or at Visit 2.

8. Any suicidal behaviour in the past 2 years (i.e. actual attempt, interrupted attempt, aborted attempt, or preparatory acts or behavior).

9. The patient has a confirmed infection with SARS-CoV-2 within the 4 weeks prior to Visit 1 and/or during the screening period.

Further exclusion criteria apply.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	The Change From Baseline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at 12 Weeks	The change from baseline in Forced vital capacity (FVC) at 12 weeks. Data were analysed with a restricted maximum likelihood (REML)-based approach using a mixed model with repeated measures (MMRM). The analysis included the fixed, categorical effect of treatment at each visit, and the fixed, continuous effects of baseline FVC at each visit. Visit was treated as the repeated measure, with an unstructured covariance structure used to model the within-patient measurements.	Baseline (day 1) and week 12.
Secondary	The Number of Patients With Treatment Emergent Adverse Event	The number of patients with any adverse event during the on-treatment period.	From the start of treatment till the end of treatment + 7 days residual effect period, an average of 87.4 days.
