Results

The difference in preference weights from no change in a benefit to the greatest amount of change in a benefit was largest for the expected survival benefit (64.72).
The difference in preference weights from no side effects to the most severe side effect was largest for nausea (-48.48). The changes for diarrhoea (-38.02) were less pronounced.

Baseline Characteristics

Patients who participated in the quantitative survey had a mean age of 64 years, and 95.0% were male. More than 66.25% of patients experienced a body weight loss of more than 2 kg. Regarding antifibrotic therapy, 27.50% had experience with nintedanib and 11.25% with pirfenidone. In addition, 12.50% of patients reported dissatisfaction with their current treatment.
Qualitative interviews
Participants ranged in age from their 50s to 70s and consisted of three males and three females. Four patients (66.7%) had used nintedanib and two patients (33.3%) had used pirfenidone. All participants were diagnosed between 2021 and 2024.

Participant flow

Quantitative survey
An online discrete choice experiment (DCE) was conducted among patients recruited from disease-specific and general online panels provided by Rakuten Insight. The survey assessed preferences across seven treatment-related attributes, including treatment efficacy (overall survival, acute exacerbations, shortness of breath, and cough) and adverse events (diarrhea,nausea, and photosensitivity).
Qualitative interviews
Semi structured interviews lasting approximately one hour were conducted with patients between December 10 and December 25, 2024, based on an interview guide developed through desk research. Participants were recruited via an online patient community for interstitial lung disease patients

Adverse events

NA

Outcome measures
