Summary

This trial aims to study how molgramostim can help pediatric patients aged 6 to 18 with autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP). The study will look at how mol

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 6-18 with autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP), a rare lung disease. Participants must be able to use a nebulizer daily and visit the clinic every 12 weeks. Specific eligibility criteria are not provided, but typically include having the condition being studied and meeting certain health requirements.
What is being tested?
The study tests molgramostim, an inhaled medication delivered via nebulizer, as a treatment for pediatric aPAP. Over 12 months, all participants will receive this drug daily to assess its impact on breathing function and activity levels without comparing it to another drug or placebo.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of molgramostim in children are not detailed here, common ones may include respiratory symptoms like coughing or wheezing, headaches, fatigue, and possible reactions at the site of inhalation.
