First seen Mar 23, 2026 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This early-phase study tested the drug everolimus in 8 adults with idiopathic subglottic stenosis, a rare condition where scarring narrows the airway and often requires repeated surgeries. The goal was to see if the drug could improve breathing and lengthen the time between surgeries. The trial was a small proof-of-concept, aiming to gather data for larger future studies.
