A Phase 2 interventional study of Tacrolimus Inhalation Powder and Plastiape RS00 Dry Powder inhaler device in Lung Transplant Rejection, sponsored by TFF Pharmaceuticals, Inc.. Terminated at 2 sites in Australia. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-01-06.
Sponsored by TFF Pharmaceuticals, Inc. · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
Part A: This is an open label, single-arm study that will evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy and PK of Tacrolimus Inhalation Powder over 12 weeks in lung transplant patients who require reduced blood levels of tacrolimus due to kidney toxicity. Tacrolimus Inhalation Powder is being developed as an alternative to oral tacrolimus for prevention of rejection in adult lung transplant recipients.
Part B of this study is an optional safety extension following successful completion of Part A. Patients would have the option to continue Tacrolimus Inhalation Powder for up to 1 year, with a possibility to extend to 2 years pending analysis of Part A data. Participants would return to clinic every 12 weeks for safety assessments, dose adjustments, and to receive more Tacrolimus Inhalation Powder. After 2 years, if the drug is still under development, the subject will be invited to continue receiving Tacrolimus Inhalation Powder under a special access program.
