Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, the drug nintedanib in combination with steroids, has on the lungs. Furthermore, such treatments' side effects will be studied together with quality of life. In addition, the investigators would like to determine whether they can find markers in the blood which predict worsening lung injury.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Nintedanib + Prednisone
The initial dose of nintedanib will be 150mg two times per day orally according to study protocol. Nintedanib will be taken for 12 weeks. Patients will be given a prednisone taper (40mg prednisone daily for 2 weeks, followed by a strict dose taper of 10mg every 2 weeks for 4 weeks, followed by 10mg for one week and 5mg for one week, for a total duration on prednisone of 8 weeks).
Drug: Nintedanib
Other Name: BIBF 1120

Drug: Prednisone
Experimental: Placebo + Prednisone
Placebo will be taken for 12 weeks. Patients will be given a prednisone taper (40mg prednisone daily for 2 weeks, followed by a strict dose taper of 10mg every 2 weeks for 4 weeks, followed by 10mg for one week and 5mg for one week, for a total duration on prednisone of 8 weeks).
Drug: Prednisone
Other: Placebo



Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of patients who are free from pulmonary exacerbations [ Time Frame: 12 months ]

    An acute exacerbation will be defined as (all criteria must be met):

    1. Unexplained worsening or development of cough, dyspnea, hypoxia, or pneumonitis lasting more than 4 days
    2. New or worsening diffuse pulmonary infiltrates on chest CT (with or without contrast) or new high resolution CT parenchymal abnormalities without significant pneumothorax or pleural effusion
