Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis
MedDRA version: 9.1 Level: LLT Classification code 10049459 Term: Lymphangioleiomyomatosis
MedDRA version: 9.1 Level: PT Classification code 10049459 Term: Lymphangioleiomyomatosis
Intervention(s)

Trade Name: Doxycycline 100 mg Capsules
Pharmaceutical Form: Capsule*
INN or Proposed INN: doxycycline
Concentration unit: mg milligram(s)
Concentration type: equal
Concentration number: 100-
Pharmaceutical form of the placebo: Capsule*
Route of administration of the placebo: Oral use

Primary Outcome(s)
Primary end point(s): Mean rate of change of FEV1/year over 24 months on doxycycline compared with placebo.
Secondary Objective: (1) determine the optimum dose of doxycycline needed to suppress MMP production
(2) define the safety profile of doxycycline in LAM
(3) provide evidence of efficacy and size of effect
(4) determine the optimum design and logistics of future trials.
Main Objective: Does doxycycline prevent matrix metalloproteinase dependent tissue destruction in lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) thus preserving lung function, exercise capacity and quality of life in LAM?
