About this trial
This trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of inhaled Nintedanib Dry Powder Inhalation (DPI) in adults with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Participants are randomized to receive either 2 mg BID, 4 mg BID, or matching placebo for 12 weeks, followed by a 24-week open-label extension in which all participants receive active treatment. The primary focus is on safety-particularly bronchospasm events, lung function changes (FEV1, FEV1/FVC), and adverse event rates and assessing the effectiveness of nintedanib DPI in treating IPF.

Either new to treatment or on a stable dose of pirfenidone and/or nerandomilast for at least 3 months before screening.
Weighs more than 40 kg (88 lb) at screening.
Disqualifiers
