Participant Flow

From the start of the trial, only 6 patients were randomized. With low patient recruitment, the BOSTON-4 safety and tolerability study was terminated early 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. So, due to this low recruitment, the Sponsor decided to early terminate the trial, on 18 March 2022.

Measure
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 Liposomal Cyclosporine A: Liposomal Cyclosporine A is administered at different dosages in the first two arms (10 mg bid and 5 mg bid, respectively) with a new technology of nebulizing liquid drugs, creating an aerosol with a low ballistic momentum and a high percentage of droplets in a respirable size range of 3-5 μm
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 Liposomal Cyclosporine A: Liposomal Cyclosporine A is administered at different dosages in the first two arms (10 mg bid and 5 mg bid, respectively) with a new technology of nebulizing liquid drugs, creating an aerosol with a low ballistic momentum and a high percentage of droplets in a respirable size range of 3-5 μm
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 Liposomal Placebo: Liposomal Placebo is administered with the same new technology of nebulizing liquid drugs used for L-CsA, creating an aerosol with a low ballistic momentum and a high percentage of droplets in a respirable size range of 3-5 μm

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: During the first 4 weeks of treatment

Population: The Safety Analysis Set (SAF) was defined as all randomized patients who had received a partial dose of IMP at least once.

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.

Timeframe: Weeks 0 (pre-dose, directly after end of inhalation, 15, 30, 45, 60 min, 1.5 h, 2h, 4h), 2, 4, 8, and 12

Population: The Full Analysis Set (FAS) was defined as all randomized patients for whom at least 1 post-baseline measurement of an efficacy outcome measure (ie, spirometry or quality of life measures) was available. For spirometry measures, baseline corresponded to the assessment at randomization visit (Visit 1) prior to inhalation of IMP.

Whole Blood concentrations (Week 0) are at pre-dose, directly after end of inhalation, 15, 30, and 45 minutes, and 1, 1.5, 2, and 4 hours after end of inhalation, and whole blood trough levels (CsA concentration) at Weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12 were calculated.

L-CsA 10 mg Plus Standard of Care
n=2 participants at risk
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 Liposomal Cyclosporine A: Liposomal Cyclosporine A is administered at different dosages in the first two arms (10 mg bid and 5 mg bid, respectively) with a new technology of nebulizing liquid drugs, creating an aerosol with a low ballistic momentum and a high percentage of droplets in a respirable size range of 3-5 μm
L-CsA 5 mg Plus Standard of Care
n=2 participants at risk
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 Liposomal Cyclosporine A: Liposomal Cyclosporine A is administered at different dosages in the first two arms (10 mg bid and 5 mg bid, respectively) with a new technology of nebulizing liquid drugs, creating an aerosol with a low ballistic momentum and a high percentage of droplets in a respirable size range of 3-5 μm
Liposomal Placebo Plus Standard of Care
n=2 participants at risk
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 Liposomal Placebo: Liposomal Placebo is administered with the same new technology of nebulizing liquid drugs used for L-CsA, creating an aerosol with a low ballistic momentum and a high percentage of droplets in a respirable size range of 3-5 μm
