Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity (MVPA) as Measured by Actigraphy [Baseline to Month 4]
Part 1 - Blinded Treatment Period
- Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events with Long Term INOpulse Therapy [Baseline to Month 4]
Part 2 - Open Label Extension (OLE)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in Overall Activity as Measured by Actigraphy [Baseline to M4]
Part 1 - Blinded Treatment Period
- Change in University of California San Diego (UCSD) Shortness of Breath Questionnaire (SOBQ) [Baseline to Month 4]
Part 1 Blinded Treatment Period: The UCSD SOBQ is a 24-item questionnaire developed to measure breathlessness associated with activities of daily living, on a scale between zero and five where 0 is not at all breathless and 5 is maximally breathless or too breathless to do the activity. The responses to all items are summed up to provide the overall score that can range from 0 (best outcome) to 120 (worst outcome).
- Change in St. George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) - Activity, Impacts & Total [Baseline to Month 4]
Part 1 Blinded Treatment Period: SGRQ is a tool for assessing quality of life that has previously been validated for the use with patients with interstitial lung disease. It is a responsive tool that has three domains: symptoms, activity and impact (on daily life)
- Time to Clinical Worsening [Baseline to Month 4]
Part 1 - Blinded Treatment Period
- Time to Clinical Deterioration [Baseline to Month 4]
Part 1 Blinded Treatment Period
- Time to Clinical Improvement [Baseline to Month 4]
Part 1 Blinded Treatment Period
- Change in 6 Minute Walk Distance [Baseline to Month 4]
Part 1 Blinded Treatment Period
