New study aims to improve inhaler treatment for lung fungus
NCT ID NCT07530263
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 19, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at how well an inhaled antifungal drug (liposomal amphotericin B) reaches the lungs in people with chronic pulmonary aspergillosis, a long-term lung infection. About 18 adults will inhale two different doses on separate days and then have special scans to see where the drug goes in their lungs. The goal is to find the best dose and delivery method, not to cure the disease.
