New hope for transplant patients with devastating lung damage

NCT ID NCT02669251

Summary

This early-stage study is testing an oral drug called alvelestat for people who develop a serious lung scarring condition (BOS) after a stem cell transplant. The goal is to find a safe dose that blocks a harmful enzyme thought to cause the lung damage and to see if that dose can help stabilize or improve lung function. The study is for adults who have this specific transplant complication and have already tried standard treatments.
