Study to Evaluate ARINA-1 in the Prevention of Bronchiolitis Obliterans Progression in Participants With Bilateral Lung Transplant
- Conditions
- Pre-Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome
- Interventions
- Other: Standard of care only
- Registration Number
- NCT05654922
- Lead Sponsor
- Renovion, Inc.
- Brief Summary
The goal of this Phase 3 clinical trial is to compare ARINA-1 (a nebulized immunomodulatory agent) plus Standard of Care vs Standard of Care alone. The main question it aims to answer are:
* Evaluate the effectiveness of ARINA-1 in preventing bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) progression in participants with a bilateral lung transplant
* To evaluate the effectiveness of ARINA-1 on improving quality of life decline and preventing or delaying the use of augmented immunosuppression in participants with pre-BOS relative to SOC.
Participants will have clinic visits at screening, randomization (day 1) and weeks 4, 12, 18, and 24. After week 24, participants will have clinic visits at weeks 32, 40, and 48.
Participants will also have a telehealth visit on day 2 and phone calls to assess adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and review patient education will occur during weeks 5, 8, 36, and 44.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage change from baseline in FEV1 (%ΔFEV1) 24 weeks Week 24 (mL) - Baseline (mL) = ΔFEV1 (mL) ΔFEV1 (mL) / Baseline (mL) x 100 = %ΔFEV1
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage change from baseline of Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) 48 weeks Week 48 (mL) - Baseline (mL) = ΔFEV1 (mL) ΔFEV1 (mL) / Baseline (mL) x 100 = %ΔFEV1
Percentage change from baseline of Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) 24 weeks Percentage change from baseline of FVC 48 weeks Percentage change from baseline of FEF25-75% 48 weeks Number of participants in each arm with augmented immunosuppression 48 weeks Time to initiation of augmented immunosuppression over the duration of the 48 week trial Length of time to when participant requires a change in their immunosuppression regimen
Change from baseline in Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire total score 48 weeks quality of life questionnaire, total score of 0 to 100, higher score = more limitations
