- Doxycycline has been proposed as a treatment with minimal side-effects.[1]
- Sirolimus is being tested for the treatment of LAM. The MILES Trial (Multicenter International LAM Efficacy of Sirolimus Trial) is now underway. The first site, the University of Cincinnati, is open for enrollment. The National Institutes of Health will open enrollment soon. The MILES Trial is randomized, double-blinded, and placebo-controlled. The objective of the Trial is to determine if sirolimus has a beneficial effect on lung function in LAM patients.
