Aerosol Liposomal Cyclosporine for Chronic Rejection in Lung Transplant Recipients

Summary

This is a single-center pilot study to investigate the efficacy and safety of aerosolized liposomal cyclosporine A in the treatment of chronic rejection in lung transplant recipients with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of liposomal cyclosporine A in the treatment of chronic rejection. Pulmonary function and changes in BOS grade are the primary end points.
