Overview
Brief Summary
Primary Objective:
The primary objective of this study is to assess the tolerability and safety of two dose levels of aerosolized L-CsA vs placebo in addition to SoC therapy for BOS in adult allo-HSCT recipients.
Secondary Objectives:
The secondary objectives of this study are to assess PK and exploratory efficacy and quality of life of two dose levels of aerosolized L-CsA vs placebo in addition to SoC therapy for BOS in adult allo-HSCT recipients.
Detailed Description
This is a Phase II prospective, multi-center, single-blind, randomized clinical trial evaluating safety and tolerability in adult recipients of an allo-HSCT with BOS. Twenty-four patients were planned for enrollment; but, at the time of the premature termination of this study, a total of 11 patients were screened for the study, of whom 5 patients did not fulfill the inclusion criteria and 6 patients were randomly allocated 1:1:1 in 3 treatment groups (L-CsA 10 mg + SoC, L-CsA 5 mg + SoC, or placebo + SoC). A total of 18 centers in 3 countries (France, Germany, and Spain) in Europe were initiated for this multi-center study. IMP was administered for up to 12 weeks treatment period. With low patient recruitment, the BOSTON-4 safety and tolerability study was terminated early by the sponsor on 18 March 2022. This decision was made after a careful and due diligent analysis performed by Zambon of the study status and considering the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on sites activities. From the beginning of the study, in December 2019, only 6 patients were randomized. So it was estimated that continuing the trial with the current protocol and setting would have taken another 9 years for the study to complete.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Age \>/= 18 years
- •Patient must have a history of allogeneic HSCT, regardless of source of stem cell or donor or indication for allogeneic HSCT
- •Documented diagnosis of chronic Graft versus Host Disease (cGvHD) in any organ other than the lung. If BOS is the only manifestation of cGvHD, lung biopsy must have been performed before entering the trial to confirm BOS diagnosis.
- •Confirmed diagnosis of BOS Score 1 \[Jagasia et al. 2015\] within \> 6 months and \< 3 years after allo-HSCT:
- •FEV1/FVC \< 0.7 at Screening Visit AND Post-bronchodilator FEV1 \>/= 60 and ≤ 79% predicted at Screening Visit AND
- •10% decline of FEV1 % predicted within 24 months prior to Screening Visit AND Absence of acute infection in the respiratory tract.
- •Patient must be capable of understanding the purposes and risks of the study, has given written informed consent, and agrees to comply with the study requirements.
- •Patient is capable of aerosol inhalation.
- •Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test at screening and at randomization visit.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Active bacterial, viral (as confirmed by multiplex PCR) or fungal infection not successfully resolved at least 4 weeks prior to the Screening Visit.
- •Chronic renal dysfunction with serum creatinine \>/= 2.5 mg/dL or need for renal dialysis.
- •Chronic hepatic dysfunction with serum total bilirubin \> 5x upper limit of normal (ULN), transaminases \> 5x ULN, or alkaline phosphatase \> 5x ULN.
- •Evidence of relapse of the primary malignancy which warranted allogeneic bone marrow transplant.
- •Use of azithromycin within 4 weeks prior to Randomization (Visit 1).
- •Use of zafirlukast during the study period.
- •Chronic oxygen use or use of non-invasive ventilation.
- •Active smokers (i.e. any kind of inhaled nicotine consumption).
- •Pregnant women or women who are unwilling to use appropriate birth control to avoid pregnancy over the course of the clinical trial.
- •Women who are currently breastfeeding.
Arms & Interventions
L-CsA 10 mg plus Standard of Care
Liposomal Cyclosporine A 10 mg (10 mg/2.5 mL) bid, once in the morning and once in the evening, for up to 12 weeks. The inhalations were scheduled to be taken approximately 12 hours (but not less than 6 hours) apart, eg, at 08:00 and 20:00 each day. Nebulization time per inhalation dose was approximately 8 to 13 minutes for the 0- and 10-mg doses. Standard of care included prophylaxis against common opportunistic infections, immunosuppression, and any other chronic medication
Intervention: Liposomal Cyclosporine A
L-CsA 5 mg plus Standard of Care
Liposomal Cyclosporine A 5 mg (5 mg/1.25 mL) bid, once in the morning and once in the evening, for up to 12 weeks. The inhalations were scheduled to be taken approximately 12 hours (but not less than 6 hours) apart, eg, at 08:00 and 20:00 each day. Nebulization time per inhalation dose was approximately 5 to 10 minutes for the 5-mg dose. Standard of care included prophylaxis against common opportunistic infections, immunosuppression, and any other chronic medication
Intervention: Liposomal Cyclosporine A
Liposomal Placebo plus Standard of Care
Liposomal Placebo 2.5 mL (0 mg L-CsA/2.5 mL) bid, once in the morning and once in the evening, for up to 12 weeks. The inhalations were scheduled to be taken approximately 12 hours (but not less than 6 hours) apart, eg, at 08:00 and 20:00 each day. Nebulization time per inhalation dose was approximately 8 to 13 minutes for the 0- and 10-mg doses. Standard of care included prophylaxis against common opportunistic infections, immunosuppression, and any other chronic medication
Intervention: Liposomal Placebo

Time Frame: at Week 4 (visit 3)
The local tolerability events of interest taken into consideration were: Cough, Wheezing, Bronchospasm, Throat irritation and Change from baseline in FEV1 to Visit 3.
Number of Participants With AE and sAE of Different Level of Severity During the First 4 Weeks of Treatment
Time Frame: During the first 4 weeks of treatment
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence after exposure to a medicine, which is not necessarily caused by that medicine. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. A serious adverse event is an adverse event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, or is a birth defect.
Secondary Outcomes
- Number of Local Tolerability Events of Interest From Baseline to Week 12(at Week 12)
- Number of Participants With AE and sAE of Different Level of Severity During the First 12 Weeks of Treatment(During the first 12 weeks of treatment)
