Brief Summary:

This phase II trial studies how well giving fluticasone propionate, azithromycin, and montelukast sodium (FAM) together works in treating patients with bronchiolitis obliterans who previously underwent stem cell transplant. FAM may be an effective treatment for bronchiolitis obliterans

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Bronchiolitis Obliterans	Drug: fluticasone propionate; Drug: montelukast sodium; Drug: azithromycin	Phase 2

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine if the combination treatment of FAM administered in post hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients after the diagnosis of new onset bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) can decrease the rate of treatment failure relative to an estimated historical rate of 40% using current therapies.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To confirm the safety profile of FAM.

II. To describe the effect on other standard pulmonary function test parameters: forced expiratory flow at 25%-75% of forced vital capacity (FVC) (FEF25-75), residual volume (RV), diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide (DLCO), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)/FVC ratio and FEV1/slow vital capacity (SVC) ratio with FAM treatment.

III. To determine the change in molecular markers of inflammation and fibrosis in the blood with FAM treatment.

IV. To assess the impact of FAM on other chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) manifestations.

V. To assess the impact of FAM on functional status, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL).

VI. To describe changes in steroid dosing.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive fluticasone propionate inhaled orally (PO) twice daily (BID), azithromycin PO 3 days a week, and montelukast sodium PO once daily (QD). Treatment continues for 6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 6 months.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Number of Subjects Who Failed Treatment [ Time Frame: Within 3 months after initiation of study medications ]
   Treatment failure is defined as sustained, absolute decrease (worsening) of the FEV1 by >= 10% predicted in comparison to the baseline FEV1. Must be confirmed by a second PFT 2 weeks after the first measurement.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Number of Subjects Who Experienced Grade 3-5 SAEs Attributable to FAM and Number of Subjects Who Stopped FAM as a Result [ Time Frame: From baseline to 6 months ]
   National Cancer Institute (NCI)-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) (v4.0)
2. Number of Subjects Who Experienced Statistically Significant Changes in FVC, TLC, RV, DLCO [ Time Frame: Baseline and 6 months ]
3. Changes in Blood Molecular Markers: IL8 (Azithromycin), Cysteinyl and LTB4 (Monteleukast), and IL1B, TNF, and IL6, as Well as Neutrophil Count (Fluticasone) [ Time Frame: Baseline to 6 months ]
4. Number of Subjects With Improvements in Other Chronic GVHD Characteristics [ Time Frame: Baseline and 3 months ]
   Only includes subjects who had complete or partial response according to the National Institute of Health (NIH) consensus criteria.
5. Number of Subjects Were Able to Reduce Their Systemic Steroid Exposure by >=50% [ Time Frame: Baseline to 6 months ]
6. Changes in Symptoms as Measured by Patient Self-report--Short Form-36 (SF-36) [ Time Frame: Baseline and 6 months ]
   SF-36 subscales have min=0 and max=100; results are given as change in 6mo score compared to baseline score, not actual score, and a positive change is correlated with improvement in clinical outcome.
7. Changes in Symptoms as Measured by Patient Self-report--Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACT) [ Time Frame: Baseline and 6 months ]

   FACT-BMT subscales have various min/max, see below; results are given as change in 6mo score compared to baseline score, not actual score, and a positive change is correlated with improvement in clinical outcome.

   FACT physical well-being (0-28) FACT social/family well-being (0-28) FACT emotional well-being (0-24) FACT functional well-being (0-28) FACT Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) subscale (0-40) FACT trial outcome index (0-96) FACT-General (G) (0-108) FACT-BMT total (0-148)

8. Changes in Symptoms as Measured by Patient Self-report--Human Activities Profile (HAP) [ Time Frame: Baseline and 6 months ]

   HAP subscales have min=0 and max=94; results are given as change in 6mo score compared to baseline score, not actual score, and a positive change is correlated with improvement in clinical outcome.

   Maximum Activity Score (MAS) is highest item number answered still doing. Represents highest oxygen demanding activity that respondent still performs.

   Adjusted Activity Score (AAS) is MAS minus total number of stopped doing responses below MAS. A measure of usual daily activities.

   Modified AAS is MAS minus total number of stopped doing responses below MAS but not penalized for not doing activities not permitted post transplant. The following items are not counted against the score:11,15,19,20,22,25,34,41,42,47,49,50,52,53,54,57,72,73,77,78.

9. Changes in Symptoms as Measured by Patient Self-report--Lee Chronic GVHD Symptom Scale [ Time Frame: Baseline and 6 months ]
   Lee symptom scale (LSS) has subscales with min=0, max=100; results are given as change in 6mo score compared to baseline score, not actual score, and a negative change is correlated with improvement in clinical outcome.
