Method Up to 140 EU sites will enrol 1000 patients. Safety data are recorded at routine clinic visits for 2 years. Adverse drug reactions (ADR: a noxious, unintended drug response at therapeutic doses) and serious ADRs (SADR: ADRs that are lifethreatening; cause death, disability, congenital anomaly; require hospitalisation or an intervention to prevent permanent impairment) are collected. Results Data from 530 patients enrolled by 68 sites in 7 countries are included. Age was 69 ± 8.8 years (mean ± SD); IPF diagnosis duration was 1.8 ± 3.51 years; 81% were men. Median time in study was 5.5 months; total exposure was 284 person-years. Of 311 patients with ADRs, 85 discontinued due to ADR and 41 discontinued for other reasons. Approximately 1/3 of patients with ADRs had their dose adjusted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
