A lung disorder that is mainly associated with chronic allograft dysfunction after lung transplantation and that is characterized by inflammation and fibrosis of bronchiolar walls that reduce the diameter of the bronchioles and result in progressive and irreversible airflow obstruction.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome has been reported in the published literature.
No approved treatments are currently available for bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome. An additional 4 compounds hold orphan drug designation.
While no drugs are FDA-approved specifically for bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome, some of the following designated compounds may be used off-label in clinical practice. Treatment decisions should be made in consultation with a specialist familiar with this condition.
The following drugs have received orphan drug designation from the FDA for bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome. Orphan designation reflects regulatory interest and does not indicate approval for treatment.
