Any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening situation (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a participant who received Tralokinumab. Treatment-emergent were events between administration of investigational product and Week 88 that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state.
Number of Participants With Clinical Laboratory Abnormalities Reported as Treatment-emergent Adverse Events
An abnormal laboratory finding which required an action or intervention by the investigator, or a finding judged by the investigator to represent a change beyond the range of normal physiologic fluctuation were reported as an adverse event. Treatment-emergent were events between administration of investigational product and Week 88 that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state. Laboratory evaluations (haematology, serum chemistry and urinalysis) of blood and urine samples were performed.
Number of Participants With Vital Signs and Physical Findings Abnormalities Reported as Treatment-emergent Adverse Events
Vital signs parameters included heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, weight, pulse oximetry and respiratory rate. Treatment-emergent were events between administration of investigational product and Week 88 that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state.

AEs observed in participants with clinically significant ECG abnormalities were assessed. Tricuspid valve incompetence was the only abnormality reported as TEAE. ECG parameters included heart rate, PR, QRS, QT, and QTc intervals. Treatment-emergent were events between administration of investigational product and Week 88 that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state.
Percentage of Participants With Disease Progression
Progression-free Survival (PFS) was used to evaluate disease progression and the percentage of participants with disease progression. A participant was classified as having disease progression if at least one of the following criteria were met:• Adjudicated respiratory-related mortality. •Adjudicated hospitalization due to IPF exacerbation. •Confirmed decline in percent-predicted FVC of greater than or equal to (>=) 10%. •Confirmed decline in 6 minute walk test (6MWT) >= 50 meters.

Acceptable test criteria included:• An inspiratory volume of more than 85% of vital capacity. • A stable breath hold of 10 seconds (+/- 2 seconds) with no leaks, Valsalva or Mueller maneuvers. • Expiration in less than 4 seconds with appropriate clearance of dead space. The average of the two best acceptable maneuvers was used. There must be a minimum of 4 minutes between the performances of each test.
Change From Baseline in 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT) Distance Through Week 72
The 6MWT measures the distance that a participant can walk on a measured, flat hard surface in a period of 6 minutes. The 6MWT evaluates the global and integrated responses of all body systems involved during walking.
Change From Baseline in Oxygen Saturation by Pulse Oximetry at Week 68
Participants transcutaneous oxygen saturation were observed by pulse oximetry.
Change From Baseline in Lung Volumes Through Week 72
Lung volumes were evaluated by total lung capacity (TLC), residual volume (RV), and vital capacity (VC). Lung volumes were determined by body plethysmography.
Percentage of Participants With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) Exacerbations
The IPF exacerbations is defined as an acute, clinically significant, deterioration of unidentifiable cause in a participant with underlying IPF. Exacerbations of IPF were adjudicated according to the protocol definition by an independent committee as follows:
1. Confirmed acute IPF exacerbation, 2. Suspected acute IPF exacerbation, 3. Not an IPF exacerbation with an alternative diagnosis provided if possible, and 4. Undetermined due to insufficient information.
Percentage of Participants With Adjudicated Mortality
Participants all cause mortality were observed. Events that resulted in participant death were adjudicated into respiratory-related mortality or all other cause mortality by an independent committee.
Percentage of Participants With Adjudicated Hospitalization
Participants who were hospitalized due to IPF exacerbation were observed. All events that resulted in the hospitalization of participants were adjudicated by an independent committee to determine if the event was due to an IPF exacerbation as follows: 1. Exacerbation or progression of IPF, 2. Result of a complication of IPF, 3. Not related to IPF (alternative diagnosis provided), and 4. Undetermined due to insufficient information.
Change From Baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Through Week 72
FEV1 was the maximal volume of air exhaled in the first second of a forced expiration from a position of full inspiration.
Change From Baseline in Percent-predicted FEV1 Through Week 72
FEV1 was the maximal volume of air exhaled in the first second of a forced expiration from a position of full inspiration. Predicted FEV1 is based on a formula using sex, age and height of a person, and is an estimate of healthy lung capacity. Percent of predicted FEV1 = (observed value)/(predicted value) * 100%.
Change From Baseline in Absolute Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) Through Week 72
Forced vital capacity (FVC) is a standard pulmonary function test used to monitor disease progression in IPF. FVC was the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out after full inspiration in the upright position, measured in litres.
Number of Participants With Clinical Global Impression of Severity Scores
The CGI-S is a single, clinician completed, item designed to capture the clinician's impression of the participants IPF severity. Clinicians were asked to consider their experience in this participant population and rate the overall IPF severity of the participant using a 5-point scale (1 = very mild, 5 = very severe).
Number of Participants With Clinical Global Impression of Change Scores
The CGI-C is a single, clinician completed, item designed to capture the clinicians overall impression of change in IPF severity from the baseline state at Screening. Clinicians were asked to rate the participants IPF severity relative to their state at baseline using a 7-point scale (-3 = very much worse, 0 = no change, about the same, 3 = very much improved).
Change From Baseline in University of California San Diego Shortness of Breath Questionnaire (UCSD SOBQ) Total Score at Week 72
The UCSD SOBQ is a 24-item questionnaire designed to capture patient-reported shortness of breath. Respondents were asked to rate their breathlessness during 21 activities of daily living using a 6-point scale (0 = not at all breathless, 5 = maximally breathless or too breathless to do this activity). In addition to the 21 activity items, the UCSD SOBQ includes 3 additional questions about limitations due to shortness of breath, fear of harm from overexertion, and fear of shortness of breath. The UCSD SOBQ was scored by summing responses across all 24 items to form a total score. Scores range from 0-120 with higher scores indicative of greater shortness of breath.
Change From Baseline in St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Total Score at Week 72
The SGRQ is a 50-item Patient-reported outcome (PRO) instrument developed to measure respiratory-related health status via 76 weighted responses. The SGRQ is divided into two parts. Part 1 asks respondents to consider the last 3 months and report on their respiratory symptoms using 5-point Likert scales. Part 2 asks respondents to consider their current state and respond to a series of dichotomous yes/no items related to their activities (activities that cause or were limited by breathlessness) and impacts (social functioning, psychological disturbances resulting from airways disease). Total scores and domain scores (symptoms, activities, and impact on daily life) were scored from 0-100, where lower scores indicate better health status.
Change From Baseline in Exacerbations of Chronic Pulmonary Disease (EXACT IPF) Total Score Through Week 72
The EXACT-IPF is a 14-item daily dairy used to capture the IPF related symptoms completed by the participants using an eDiary. The EXACT-IPF total score is the sum of all items ranged from 1 to 14. EXACT-IPF is an interval-level scale ranging from 0 to 100, where the higher scores indicate more severe condition. The EXACT-IPF used Likert scales (with 3 to 6 response options each) to capture participant reported IPF-related symptoms. The scores are the simple sum of item responses for each domain or single item.
Change From Baseline in European Quality of Life-5-Dimension 3 Level Version (EQ-5D-3L) (Including Visual Analog Scale [VAS]) at Week 72
The EQ-5D-3L is a standardized PRO used to capture respondent's general health status. The questionnaire assesses 5 dimensions of health: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 3 response options (no problem, some or moderate problems, and unable or extreme problems) that reflect increasing levels of difficulty. The questionnaire also includes a visual analog scale, where the participants were asked to rate their current health on a scale of 0-100, with 0 being the worst imaginable health state.
