Background In the INBUILD trial in patients with progressive fibrosing ILDs other than IPF, nintedanib reduced the rate of FVC decline with a safety profile characterised mainly by gastrointestinal events. Patients on treatment at the end of INBUILD could enter the open-label extension trial, INBUILD-ON.

Aim To assess the longer-term safety of nintedanib in patients with fibrosing ILDs.

Methods Patients who received nintedanib in INBUILD continued nintedanib in INBUILD-ON. Patients who received placebo in INBUILD initiated nintedanib in INBUILD-ON. A data snapshot was taken on 15 October 2020.

Results 434 patients were treated in INBUILD-ON. Median exposure to nintedanib in INBUILD-ON was 15.4 months. Diarrhoea was the most frequent adverse event (Table). Adverse events led to discontinuation of nintedanib in 9.0% and 19.8% of patients who continued nintedanib (n=212) and initiated nintedanib (n=222) in INBUILD-ON, respectively. The rate of decline in FVC in patients receiving nintedanib was similar during INBUILD and INBUILD-ON.

Conclusions The adverse event profile of nintedanib in INBUILD-ON was consistent with that reported in INBUILD, supporting its manageable safety profile over continued use in patients with fibrosing ILDs.
