Study on Sirolimus for LAM Patients

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (*LAM*) is a rare disease that affects mostly women, causing lung problems. This study, called MIDAS, will look at how safe and effective the drug sirolimus is for treating LAM over a long time. Sirolimus is part of a group of drugs called *mTOR inhibitors*, which help slow down lung damage. The study will include both men and women who take or might take sirolimus or everolimus, another mTOR inhibitor. Researchers want to see if taking sirolimus for a long time can help prevent LAM from getting worse. The study will track 600 patients, collecting lung function tests and checking for any side effects. Patients will be observed for at least two years. This will help doctors understand if sirolimus should be taken for life to manage LAM.

  • Study is observational and lasts at least 2 years.
  • No specific treatment given, but usual care is followed.
  • Participants must visit clinic at least once a year.

Eligible participants are 18 or older, with a LAM diagnosis, and agree to take part in the study.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
