Introduction
- In the INBUILD trial in subjects with chronic fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) with a progressive phenotype (other than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [IPF]), nintedanib slowed the rate of decline in forced vital capacity (FVC) (mL/year) over 52 weeks by 57% versus placebo.1
- Subgroup analyses suggested that the effect of nintedanib on reducing the rate of decline in FVC was consistent across subgroups with different ILD diagnoses.2
- Autoimmune rheumatic diseases are commonly treated using disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and glucocorticoids.
