Malaria drug tested as hope for kids with fatal genetic lung conditions

NCT ID NCT04532346

Summary

This study is testing whether hydroxychloroquine, a medication used for malaria and autoimmune diseases, can help children with rare genetic lung disorders breathe easier. Researchers will compare children who receive the drug to those who don't to see if it improves oxygen levels and reduces breathing problems. The trial includes 60 children under 18 who have specific genetic mutations affecting their lungs.
