Lung transplant drug trial halted: new inhaled therapy shows promise but study ends early

NCT ID NCT04039347

First seen Apr 09, 2026 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study tested an inhaled form of cyclosporine A (L-CsA) plus standard care in 164 people who had a lung transplant and developed bronchiolitis obliterans, a condition that scars the small airways. The goal was to see if the treatment could slow lung function decline over 24 to 48 weeks. The trial was terminated early, so final results are limited.
