University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) researchers found that lung transplant recipients who had early signs of organ rejection could increase their chances of survival by using an inhaled form of the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporine.

The study has identified a drug combination that appears to significantly extend patient survival.
