New inhaled therapy aims to stop lung decline after transplant

NCT ID NCT05654922

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests an inhaled drug called ARINA-1 in 100 people who have had a double lung transplant and are showing early signs of lung function loss. The goal is to see if adding ARINA-1 to standard care can prevent further decline in lung function and improve quality of life over 48 weeks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
ARINA-1 (a nebulized mix of ascorbic acid and glutathione)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new way to slow or stop lung function decline in lung transplant patients, potentially reducing the need for stronger immune-suppressing drugs.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 3 trial, but it's still relatively small (100 people) and open-label, which can bias results. The treatment may not work better than standard care, and side effects from the inhaled drug are possible.
