- Long term safety of mTOR inhibitor treatment in LAM [ Time Frame: 2 years ]Subjects will report symptoms experienced during the observation period on sirolimus/everolimus therapy
- Efficacy - FEV1 slope [ Time Frame: 2 years ]forced expiratory volume (FEV1) slope over 2 years
- Efficacy -10% reduction in FEV1 [ Time Frame: 2 years ]time to 10% reduction in FEV1
- Efficacy - 10% reduction in FVC1 [ Time Frame: 2 years ]time to 10% reduction in FVC (forced vital capacity) as compared to the placebo group from the MILES trial
- Efficacy - annual change in spirometry [ Time Frame: 2 years ]absolute annual change in spirometry [FEV1, FVC, TLC (total lung capacity), RV (residual volume) and diffusing capacity]
- Effect of long term sirolimus on quality of life [ Time Frame: 2 years ]Evaluate ATAQ-LAM QOL responses over time
