About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Obstructive Airway Disease focused on measuring Obstructive airway disease, bronchiolitis obliterans, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, bone marrow transplantation, inhaled treatment, Budesonide Formoterol

Eligibility Criteria

16 Years - undefined (Child, Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age ≥16 years.
  • Previous normal PFTs available.
  • Absence of extrathoracic GVH disease justifying initiation or intensification of systemic immunosuppressive therapy.

Placebo Comparator

Arm Label

1

2

Arm Description

Patients with OAD will receive Symbicort® at the dose of two puffs morning and evening, each delivering 400/12 µg of budesonide/formoterol. Symbicort® will be administered by inhalation using the Turbuhaler (TH) system

Patients with OAD will receive lactose as a placebo, administered by inhalation using the Turbuhaler (TH) system

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

The primary endpoint is based on pulmonary function tests (PFT): the absolute variation of FEV1 after 1 month of treatment will be assessed.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Improvement or stabilisation of FEV1; Prevalence of improvement of FEV1 by at least 200 ml and 12% at 1 month compared to baseline; Variation of FEF 25-75% and vital capacity; Quality of life measurement; Evaluation of the clinical score

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The usual treatment for obstructive airway disease (OAD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) , which is related to graft versus host disease (GVHD), consists of intensification of systemic immunosuppressive therapy.
Detailed Description
Although it has not been evaluated prospectively, the usual treatment for obstructive airway disease (OAD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) , which is related to graft versus host disease (GVHD), consists of intensification of systemic immunosuppressive therapy. However, this treatment has a limited efficacy and is associated with a significant number of serious adverse effects, particularly infectious. Alternative treatments are therefore necessary.We have retrospectively reported clinical and functional improvement in patients with OAD following AHSCT treated with inhaled budesonide/formoterol combination.These encouraging results need to be confirmed by the present randomised, prospective double-blind trial. This study is therefore designed to evaluate the efficacy of budesonide/formoterol versus placebo in patients with moderate to severe OAD, not requiring initiation or intensification of systemic immunosuppressive therapy for extra thoracic GVHD.
