“…Some of these difficulties were shared by previous studies conducted in this and other rare diseases. LAM research is currently very active, with several clinical trials ongoing or in preparation using aromatase inhibitors or the agent fulvestrant (which targets the oestrogen receptor-a [30,48,49]), targeting autophagy [50] or using simvastatin in combination with sirolimus [51,52]. VEGF-D [53], or its receptor VEGFR-3, Rheb [30], integrins, etc., may also represent effective targets for therapy.…”
