Total Duration
Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of LAM-001 in patients who have developed bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome BOS, a form of chronic rejection following lung transplantation. This phase 2 trial aims to determine if inhaled LAM-001 can slow the progression of BOS, a serious condition that limits long-term survival after lung transplant. BOS currently has no effective treatment and is characterized by a steady decline in lung function despite available therapies. LAM-001 is designed to deliver sirolimus directly to the lungs, potentially reducing side effects seen with oral treatment. Participants in this randomized, placebo-controlled study will inhale either LAM-001 or a placebo daily for 48 weeks using a dry powder inhaler. The study includes 10 visits over this period, a mix of in-person and telehealth appointments. During the trial, participants will continue their standard immunosuppression therapy. Researchers will monitor lung function, including weekly home spirometry, and perform bronchoscopy, lab tests, and physical exams to assess safety and treatment effects. Throughout the study, participants will undergo regular assessments such as pulmonary function tests and bronchoscopy when needed. Lung function changes will be closely tracked, focusing on forced expiratory volume FEV1 to evaluate treatment impact. Safety will also be monitored continuously. The total participation time is 48 weeks, with researchers comparing outcomes between those receiving LAM-001 and placebo to determine the drugs tolerability and effectiveness in slowing BOS progression.

This table compares participation in this trial with other options available for this condition. The information is drawn from published research and the trial’s study details and is provided for educational purposes only.
| Factors | LAM-001 inhaled via dry powder inhaler | Placebo inhaled via dry powder inhaler |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | LAM-001 is an investigational drug delivered as a dry powder inhaler and is being evaluated in adults with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome after lung transplantation. | Placebo is a control inhaled powder without active drug, designed to match the LAM-001 delivery for blinding in the study. |
| Role in trial | Investigational treatment delivered to eligible participants to assess efficacy and safety versus placebo. | Serves as the comparator group to mimic treatment without providing the investigational drug, maintaining blinding. |
| Primary use | Being studied for its ability to improve or stabilize lung function in adults with BOS after lung transplantation. | Used as a control to assess changes in lung function and monitor outcomes against the investigational treatment. |
| How it is given or performed | Inhaled as a dry powder through a device designed for pulmonary delivery, details per protocol. | Participants use an identical dry powder inhaler with inactive matching substance. |
| Evidence status | No published clinical efficacy data yet exist for LAM-001 inhaled in this population. Results are pending from the ongoing randomized trial. | No direct clinical effect is expected from placebo; serves as a comparator to the investigational treatment. |
| Important limitations | LAM-001's benefit, safety, and possible side effects in this patient group have not yet been established; the study excludes those with recent infection, re-transplantation, or co-morbidities that may limit generalizability. | Placebo provides no therapeutic effect, and outcomes may be influenced by the background immunosuppression and patient differences; does not represent active clinical management. |
