Hopeful drug trial aims to ease dangerous throat scarring

NCT ID NCT05153668

Summary

This small, early study tested if the drug everolimus could help people with a rare condition where dangerous scar tissue narrows the windpipe (called idiopathic subglottic stenosis). The goal was to see if the drug could help patients go longer between surgeries to reopen their airway. Eight adults who had already undergone a specific throat procedure participated in this proof-of-concept trial at Johns Hopkins University.
