Summary

Brief Summary

This prospective, open-label pilot study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, feasibility, and preliminary clinical activity of inhaled cromolyn sodium administered by dry powder inhalation in participants with locally advanced lung cancer.

Cromolyn sodium is an FDA-approved mast cell stabilizer with an established safety profile in respiratory disease. Increasing evidence suggests that inflammatory signaling, mast cell activation, and stromal remodeling contribute to tumor progression, immune dysregulation, and resistance to therapy within the lung tumor microenvironment. Modulation of these pathways may represent a novel therapeutic strategy in lung cancer.

Approximately 5 to 10 participants with locally advanced lung cancer will receive inhaled cromolyn sodium according to the study protocol. Participants will undergo clinical assessments, safety monitoring, laboratory evaluations, and radiographic imaging in accordance with protocol-defined procedures and standard oncologic care.

The primary objective of this pilot study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and feasibility of inhaled Cromolyn sodium administration in this patient population. Secondary objectives include exploratory assessment of radiographic response, clinical outcomes, biomarker trends, and potential signals of biological activity. Data generated from this study are intended to support the development of future clinical investigations evaluating the role of mast cell stabilization and tumor microenvironment modulation in lung cancer.
