The Study of the Use of Nintedanib in Slowing Lung Disease in Patients With Fibrotic or Non-Fibrotic Interstitial Lung Disease Related to COVID-19 — ENDCOV-I  

Interstitial Lung Disease Clinical Trial

Official title: Early Nintedanib Deployment in COVID-19 Interstitial Lung Disease

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This is a collaborative study between Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals and up to 9 other clinical centers across the US to determine the effect of nintedanib on slowing the rate of lung disease in patients who have been diagnosed with COVID-19, and have ongoing lung injury more than 30 days out from their diagnosis. Required one of the following after diagnosis with SARS-CoV-2: supplemental oxygen by nasal cannula, high flow oxygen, non invasive ventilation such as CPAP or BIPAP, or mechanical ventilation or a history of desaturation below 90%.

Clinical Trial Description

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of the study drug, nintedanib, on slowing the rate of lung disease in patients who are noted to have infiltrates, or ongoing lung injury, on chest x-ray/CT 30 days or longer from their initial symptoms. In addition, the study will also investigate patient reported outcomes using questionnaires, and the safety and tolerability of the study drug. Blood specimens will be collected to assess biomarkers and monitor drug safety. The trial will be randomized 1:1 between nintedanib and placebo. Nintedanib has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of chronic fibrosing ILD with a progressive phenotype, but has not been studied in patients with post COVID 19 lung disease. Subjects participating in this study will: - Attend in person visits to the study doctor's office on the date of enrollment, 15 days after enrollment, 45 days after enrollment, 90 days after enrollment, 135 days after enrollment, and 180 days after enrollment. If the participant is being enrolled in the study while hospitalized, the study doctor will travel to the hospital room. There will also be a follow-up phone call 30 days after finishing study drug. - Undergo a HRCT (High-resolution computed tomography) scan of the chest within 6 weeks of enrollment, and then again at 180 days after enrollment. - Have Pulmonary Function Tests within 14 days of enrollment, and then again 45, 90, 135 and 180 days after enrollment. - Have a six-minute walk test at baseline, day 90 and day 180 after enrollment. - Have blood drawn routinely while participating in this study (within 14 days of randomization, 15 days after starting medication, then again on day 45, 90, 135 and 180). - Participants will not pay for physician visits, blood draws, breathing tests, CT scans or the medication for this study. Participants will receive a stipend to cover the transportation costs for your visits. The main risks to participants are: 1. Common side effects include: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach discomfort 2. Loss of appetite and weight loss 3. Liver function abnormalities (blood work will be monitored periodic intervals at scheduled blood draws as listed above) 4. Slightly higher risk of bleeding 5. Slightly higher risk of blood clots that can form in the blood vessels that supply oxygen to vital organs such as the brain and heart 6. Kidney disease resulting in protein/and or albumin being lost through urine Benefits from participation in this research include the possibility that nintedanib may slow down/prevent progression of lung fibrosis. If the lungs can heal without fibrosis, this may result in fewer symptoms of shortness of breath, cough and need for added oxygen. Instead of participating in this research, subjects may choose to monitor their lung condition with their doctor or participate in another research study. ;
