NCT ID NCT06889168

Summary

This study is testing the long-term safety of a drug called imatinib in people with a rare lung disease called LAM. Imatinib is already approved for leukemia, and early research suggests it might kill LAM cells. The trial will enroll 20 women with LAM to take either imatinib or a placebo for 6 months, checking for side effects and changes in lung health.
