Summary

This trial is testing how safe and effective L-CsA plus Standard of Care is in treating Breathing Obstruction Syndrome in people who have had either a single or double lung transplant.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for post lung transplant patients with Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS) who are on a three-drug immunosuppressive regimen. They must have completed prior BOSTON trials without early termination or consent withdrawal, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, agree to use contraception, and have no new cancers except certain skin carcinomas.
What is being tested?
The study aims to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of Liposomal Cyclosporine A (L-CsA) at two different doses added to Standard of Care in treating BOS after single or double lung transplants.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include those commonly associated with cyclosporine such as kidney problems, high blood pressure, tremors, increased hair growth, gum swelling, and other immune-related issues.
