Montelukast in Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose Chronic rejection (or Bronchiolitis Obliterans syndrome-BOS) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity after lung transplantation. Because montelukast has been shown to be of some efficacy in a similar disease (Obliterative Bronchiolitis after bone marrow transplantation), the investigators would like to test if montelukast can indeed slow down the progression of chronic rejection after lung transplantation.

Current Primary Outcome Measures
  • survival/retransplantation rate after diagnosis of BOS [Time Frame: 1 year after diagnosis] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • survival/retransplantation rate at 2 years after diagnosis [Time Frame: 2 years after diagnosis] [Designated as safety issue: No]
Current Secondary Outcome Measures
  • Obstructive and restrictive pulmonary function evolution [Time Frame: during 1 and 2 years of treatment] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) [Time Frame: during 1 and 2 years of treatment] [Designated as safety issue: No]BAL will be used to assess cellularity, protein and mRNA concentration and microbiology
  • peripheral blood [Time Frame: during 1 and 2 years of treatment] [Designated as safety issue: No]peripheral blood will be used to assess C-reactive protein, protein and mRNA concentration and fibrocytes content
  • Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and non-CMV infection rates [Time Frame: during 1 and 2 years of follow up] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • Acute rejection and lymphocytic bronchiolitis rates [Time Frame: after 1 and 2 years of treatment] [Designated as safety issue: No]

Brief TitleMontelukast in Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome
Official TitleA Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled Trial With Montelukast to Treat Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome After Lung Transplantation
Brief Summary
Chronic rejection (or Bronchiolitis Obliterans syndrome-BOS) is a major cause of mortality
and morbidity after lung transplantation. Because montelukast has been shown to be of some
efficacy in a similar disease (Obliterative Bronchiolitis after bone marrow
transplantation), the investigators would like to test if montelukast can indeed slow down
the progression of chronic rejection after lung transplantation.
Detailed Description
- Prospective, interventional, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

- Clinical setting (tertiary University Hospital).

- Investigator-driven, no pharmaceutical sponsor.

- Lung transplant recipients.

- Add-on of study-drug (placebo or montelukast) to 'standard of care'

- 1:1 inclusion ratio (placebo:montelukast).

- Randomisation at diagnosis of chronic rejection after informed consent.
Study TypeInterventional
Study PhasePhase 4
Study DesignAllocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment
Condition
  • Bronchiolitis Obliterans
  • Lung Transplantation
  • Graft Rejection
InterventionDrug: Montelukast
After diagnosis of fBOS every day an oral capsule with 10 mg montelukast of placebo
Other Names:
Montelukast TEVA
Study Arm (s)
  • Experimental: montelukast sodium
    Daily treatment with 10 mg montelukast after diagnosis of fibroproliferative BOS (fBOS) which is the low neutrophilic phenotype within BOS
  • Placebo Comparator: placebo
    Lactose monohydricum Ph.Eur.
