Autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP) is a rare disease characterized by progressive surfactant accumulation and hypoxemia caused by disruption of signaling by granulocyte/macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), which pulmonary alveolar macrophages require to clear surfactant. Recently, inhaled GM-CSF was shown to improve arterial oxygen tension in aPAP patients. We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-group study in 138 aPAP patients randomized to receive molgramostim (300 μg/day) continuously (n=46) or intermittently every other week (n=45), or matching placebo (n=47) by once-daily inhalation for 24-weeks, followed by an open-label treatment-extension period. After excluding invalid A-aDO2 data for four patients who received nasal oxygen therapy during arterial blood gas measurement (1 in each molgramostim group and 2 in placebo), improvement in the primary endpoint – change in A-aDO2 from baseline to 24 weeks – was greater in patients receiving continuous molgramostim than placebo (estimated treatment difference (ETD) −6.2 mmHg, P=0.025, least square mean (LSMean) comparison). Patients receiving continuous molgramostim also had an improvement in secondary endpoints compared to placebo including Saint George’s Respiratory Questionnaire total score (ETD −7.4, P=0.012, LSMean). Improvement in multiple endpoints was greater for continuous than intermittent molgramostim administration. Rates of adverse events and serious adverse events were similar among groups. Daily molgramostim administration improved clinical, physiological, biochemical, and radiologic outcome measures and was safe in patients with aPAP. Inhaled molgramostim may be useful as therapy of aPAP.
