ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called a Phase 1 trial, is studying the long-term safety and tolerability of a medication called imatinib for patients with lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a rare lung disease that can behave like a slow-growing cancer. The trial aims to find out if imatinib can safely help manage this condition, especially since other treatments, like sirolimus, are already being used by many patients. Women aged 18 to 64 who have been diagnosed with LAM and meet certain lung function criteria may be eligible to participate.

If you choose to take part in this trial, you will attend five office visits over six months and have phone check-ins every two weeks. It’s important to note that you will need to avoid certain foods and medications while in the study. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and the goal is to gather valuable information that may help improve treatment options for individuals living with LAM.
