First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 10, 2026 · Updated 38 times

Summary

This early-phase study tested the drug itacitinib in 23 people who developed bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (a type of lung scarring) after a double lung transplant. The goal was to see if it could safely improve lung function. The study was terminated early, so results are limited, but researchers tracked side effects and changes in breathing capacity.
