Summary

To assess the safety of treatment with pirfenidone (up to 3600 mg/d) in patients with pulmonary fibrosis/idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (PF/IPF).

Eligibility Criteria

General Inclusion Criteria:

  • Able to understand and sign an informed consent form
  • Understand the importance of adherence to study treatment and the study protocol, including concomitant medication restrictions, throughout the study period
  • Patients must be willing to travel to an approved regional center for all study-related visits

Roll-Over Criteria:

  • Entry into study through rollover has been completed

Criteria for Early Access Program patients:

  • Clinical symptoms consistent with IPF ≥3 months duration
  • Age 40 - 85, inclusive
  • At the time of registration with National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), patients with IPF must have a percent predicted forced vital capacity (FVC) of ≥50%, and percent predicted carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLCO) of ≥35%
  • At the time of enrollment in PIPF-002, (screening/baseline visit) percent predicted FVC must be ≥45%, and percent predicted DLCO must be ≥30%
  • High-resolution computed tomographic scan (HRCT) showing definite IPF. For patients with surgical lung biopsy showing definite or probable usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP), the HRCT criterion of probable IPF is sufficient
  • For patients aged <50 years: open or video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) lung biopsy showing definite or probable UIP. In addition, no features supporting an alternative diagnosis on transbronchial biopsy or bronchoalveolar lavage if performed
  • For patients aged ≥50 years: at least one of the following diagnostic findings as well as the absence of any features on specimens resulting from any of these procedures that support an alternative diagnosis: 1) Open or VATS lung biopsy showing definite or probable UIP; 2) Transbronchial biopsy showing no features to support an alternative diagnosis; 3) Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) showing no features to support an alternative diagnosis
