The development of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) and other late onset non-infectious pulmonary complications (LONIPCs) following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is associated with a significantly worse prognosis, high disease burden, and excessive health resource utilization. In this proposal, the investigators plan to examine and compare different diagnostic modalities which can provide detailed physiological and anatomical characterization of LONIPCs.

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
