RDCRN 6503: Targeted Therapy of Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome
Study Status
Open to Enrollment
Study Description
This is a clinical trial for people who have received a hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) and who have developed Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS) within the past 3 months.
BOS occurs in 4-8% of HCT patients. BOS makes it very difficult for air to pass through the lungs. The current way to treat BOS is to use high doses of steroids. Long term steroid use can result in bone damage and serious infections. Therefore there is a need to find a better way to treat BOS that does not require high doses of steroids.
This research study is using an experimental combination of 3 drugs called Fluticasone Propionate (brand name Flovent), azithromycin and Montelukast (brand name Singulair). The combination of these drugs is called FAM.
The purpose of the study is to determine if FAM is effective in treating BOS after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant. Fluticasone Propionate and Montelukast are FDA-approved to treat asthma. Azithromycin is FDA-approved antibiotic to treat infections and may have anti-inflammatory effects.
All study participants will take the FAM combination for 6 months. There will be follow-up visits at Months 1, 2, 3 and 6.
