Scientists test amino acid as lifeline for devastating rare lung disease
NCT ID NCT03887169
Summary
This study tested whether giving patients the amino acid methionine by mouth or feeding tube was safe and could help control a severe, rare genetic lung disease. The disease, which has no cure, causes lung damage and other serious health problems. Researchers tried this approach because lab tests suggested extra methionine might help fix the underlying genetic problem.
