Brief Summary

Nintedanib combined with or without Dextromethorphan for the treatment of IPF, with FVC as the primary efficacy endpoint to evaluate its effectivenes.

Conditions

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• FVC

  The change in FVC from baseline at week 12 after administration

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Leicester Cough score (LCQ)

  Change in score from baseline to week 12

• Symptoms and Effects Scale(L-PF)

  Change in score from baseline to week 12

• Incidence Rate of Acute Aggravating Events(%predicted)

  Incidence Rate of Acute Aggravating Events during the 12-week study period

• DLCO(%predictedl)

  Change in score from baseline to week 12

• Incidence of Treatment-related adverse Events

  The assessments need to be conducted four times at baseline and at weeks and 12 after medication
