Lung transplantation (TxP) is now a validated treatment of end-stage pulmonary diseases, but long-term graft and patient survival are still hampered by the development of chronic allograft dysfunction (CLAD) affecting \> 50% of patients. The investigators propose to conduct a phase III clinical randomized trial that will assess the efficacy of Nintedanib to hamper the lung decline in LTx recipients with BOS. This is the first trial testing this molecule in lung Tx recipients. If case of demonstrated effectiveness of Nintedanib, the benefit for lung transplant patients carrying a BO is high in terms of stabilization of lung function and enhancement of survival.

Nintedanib efficacy in the reduction of the rate of decline of FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in 1 sec) in BOS post-LTx grade 0p-1-2 at a dose of 150 mg twice daily (bid) compared to placebo over 6 months
Timeframe: 6 months
