NCT02551068

Brief Summary

The purpose is to determine if patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) taking nintedanib will have improved exercise endurance, breathlessness and quality of life if breathing 60% oxygen compared to standard of care during an 8 week exercise training program.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change from baseline in exercise duration during the constant load exercise test at 8 weeks

    An constant load exercise test on a stationary bike will be performed. Patients will be told to exercise for as long as possible and endurance time will be defined as the duration of the constant load exercise test.

    8 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Change in 6 Minute Walk Distance (6MWD) at 8 weeks

    8 weeks

  • Change in the amount a patient is troubled by their breathlessness at 8 weeks

    8 weeks

  • Change in the amount a patient is troubled by their breathlessness during the 6 Minute Walk Distance test at 8 weeks

    8 weeks

  • Change in the amount a patient is troubled by their breathlessness during the cycle exercise test at 8 weeks

    8 weeks

  • Change in how much shortness of breath the patient experiences while doing normal activities at 8 weeks

    8 weeks

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

60% Oxgyen

EXPERIMENTAL

While participants are exercising, they will be breathing 60% oxygen through a mask.

Other: 60% Oxygen

Standard of Care

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

While participants are exercising, they will be breathing air through a mask that will be titrated to keep oxygen saturation at least 88%, allowing a maximum inhaled oxygen percentage of 40%.

Other: Standard of Care

Interventions

While participants are exercising, they will be inhaling 60% oxygen through a mask

Eligibility Criteria

Age19 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age 19 years or older
  • Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) diagnosis according to American Thoracic Society and/or European Respiratory Society consensus criteria
  • Appropriate candidate for pulmonary rehabilitation
  • prescribed nintedanib by their treating physician or currently on nintedanib
  • minute walk distance 50m or more
  • Oxygen saturation 92% or more by pulse oximetry at rest while breathing room air
  • Clinically stable for the preceding 6 weeks

You may not qualify if:

  • Contraindication to treatment with nintedanib (based on Canadian labeling)
  • Contraindication to exercise testing (e.g. significant cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, neurological disease)
  • Other significant extra-pulmonary disease that, based on clinical assessment, could impair exercise capacity and/or oxygenation
  • Forced vital capacity (FVC) less than 50% or Diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) less than 25%
  • Concurrent or recent participation (less than 6 months) in a pulmonary rehabilitation program
  • Use of prednisone greater than 10 mg/day for more than 2 weeks within 3 months of the first study visit
  • Use of pirfenidone within 4 weeks of screening
  • Significant emphysema (less than 10% volume on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) or forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1)/FVC less than 0.70)
