This is a phase 1 clinical trial comparing imatinib mesylate to placebo for individuals with
lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM).

This is a double blind, adjusted parallel design, randomized clinical trial comparing
imatinib mesylate 400 mg daily or matching placebo on the primary outcome of log transformed
serum VEGF-D level in patients with LAM.

Sirolimus using patients will have co-administration of Imatinib mesylate or placebo for 28
days prior to sirolimus discontinuation.

The duration of 400 mg imatinib mesylate or placebo will be 56 days, a dose reduction is
allowed for toxicity.

The primary endpoint will be the change in the log transformed VEGF-D one month after
monotherapy imatinib mesylate or placebo.

Total trial duration is 2 months of drug administration.
