Rationale: In the SENSCIS trial in patients with SSc-ILD, nintedanib reduced the rate of FVC decline (mL/year) over 52 weeks by 44% compared with placebo, with adverse events that were generally manageable. The safety and efficacy of nintedanib over the longer term are being assessed in the open-label extension trial SENSCIS-ON. Methods: Patients who completed the SENSCIS trial on trial drug were eligible to enter SENSCIS-ON. Female patients with SSc-ILD who completed a drug-drug interaction (DDI) study of nintedanib and oral contraceptive (ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel), in which patients received nintedanib for ≤28 days, were eligible to enter SENSCIS-ON. We analyzed changes from baseline in FVC, adverse events, dose adjustments and permanent treatment discontinuations over 52 weeks in SENSCIS-ON in the “continued nintedanib” group (received nintedanib in SENSCIS and continued nintedanib in SENSCIS-ON), and in the “initiated nintedanib” group (received placebo in SENSCIS and initiated nintedanib in SENSCIS-ON or received nintedanib in the DDI study). Analyses were descriptive.Results: There were 197 patients in the “continued nintedanib” group and 247 patients (231 from SENSCIS) in the “initiated nintedanib” group. In these groups, respectively, mean (SD) FVC at baseline of SENSCIS-ON was 2379 (754) mL and 70.4 (18.1) % predicted and 2443 (814) mL and 70.8 (17.9) % predicted. Mean (SE) changes in FVC from baseline to week 52 of SENSCIS-ON were −58.3 (15.5) mL and −44.0 (16.2) mL in patients who continued and initiated nintedanib in SENSCIS-ON, respectively, similar to the change in FVC from baseline to week 52 in the nintedanib group of SENSCIS (−42.7 [14.2] mL). Based on proposed thresholds for minimal clinically important differences, from baseline to week 52 of SENSCIS-ON, 32.6% of patients had worsening of FVC. Diarrhea was reported in 68.0% and 68.8% of patients who continued and initiated nintedanib in SENSCIS-ON, respectively. For 99.3% and 95.3% in these groups, respectively, the worst diarrhea event was mild or moderate in intensity. Over 52 weeks, among patients who continued and initiated nintedanib, respectively, 18.3% and 49.4% had ≥1 dose reduction, 27.9% and 42.1% had ≥1 treatment interruption, 33% and 58.7% had ≥1 dose reduction and/or treatment interruption, and 10.2% and 23.9% permanently discontinued treatment.Conclusion: The change in FVC in patients who received nintedanib over 52 weeks in SENSCIS-ON was similar to that observed in the nintedanib group of SENSCIS. The safety profile of nintedanib over longer-term use was consistent with that seen over 52 weeks.
