Dataset from A 12 Month, Double Blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Trial Evaluating the Effect of BIBF 1120 Administered at Oral Doses of 50 mg qd, 50 mg Bid, 100 mg Bid and 150 mg Bid on Forced Vital Capacity Decline During One Year, in Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, With Optional Active Treatment Extension Until Last Patient Out.

The general purpose of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of 4 dose strategies of BIBF 1120 treatment for 12 months, compared to placebo in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate whether at least one dose strategy is superior to placebo in patients with IPF, in modifying the rate of decline of Forced Vital Capacity (FVC). As a secondary objective, additional parameters will be assessed in order to differentiate between dose strategies on the basis of safety and efficacy
