IMPORTANCE Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive fibrotic lung disease with poor prognosis. Approved therapies do not halt disease progression.OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of recombinant human pentraxin 2 vs placebo on change from baseline to week 28 in mean forced vital capacity (FVC) percentage of predicted value.DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted at 18 sites in 7 countries of eligible patients with IPF (N = 117; aged 40-80 years; FVC >= 50% and >= 90% predicted; ratio of forced expiratory volume in the first second/FVC >0.70; diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide [DLCO] >= 25% and >= 90% predicted; and distance of >= 150 m on the 6-minute walk test). Study period was August 2015-May 2017.INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomized to receive either recombinant human pentraxin 2 (10 mg/kg intravenous every 4 weeks, n = 77) or placebo (n = 39) for 24 weeks, and stratified by concurrent IPF treatment status.MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary end pointwas the least-squares mean change in FVC percentage of predicted value from baseline to week 28 (minimal clinically important difference, decline of 2%-6%). Secondary end points included mean change in lung volumes (total, normal, and interstitial lung abnormalities) on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and 6-minute walk distance (minimal clinically important difference, 24-45 m).RESULTS Of 117 randomized patients, 116 received at least 1 dose of study drug (mean age, 68.6 years; 81.0% men; mean time since IPF diagnosis, 3.8 years), and 111 (95.7%) completed the study. The least-squares mean change in FVC percentage of predicted value from baseline to week 28 in patients treated with recombinant human pentraxin 2 was -2.5 vs -4.8 for those in the placebo group (difference, + 2.3[90% CI, 1.1 to 3.5]; P =.001). No significant treatment differences were observed in total lung volume (difference, 93.5mL[90% CI, -27.7 to 214.7]), quantitative parenchymal features on HRCT (normal lung volume difference, -1.2%[90% CI, -4.4 to 1.9]; interstitial lung abnormalities difference, 1.1%[90% CI, -2.2 to 4.3]), or measurement of DLCO (difference, -0.4[90% CI, -2.6 to 1.7]). The change in 6-minute walk distance was -0.5m for patients treated with recombinant human pentraxin 2 vs -31.8 m for those in the placebo group (difference, + 31.3 m[90% CI, 17.4 to 45.1]; P < .001). The most common adverse events in the recombinant human pentraxin 2 vs placebo group were cough (18% vs 5%), fatigue (17% vs 10%), and nasopharyngitis (16% vs 23%).CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this preliminary study, recombinant human pentraxin 2 vs placebo resulted in a slower decline in lung function over 28 weeks for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Further research should more fully assess efficacy and safety.
