Plain-language summary
The aim of this study is to describe the forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) decline and natural disease evolution in patients affected by CLAD-BOS after lung transplantation and receiving an immunosuppressive therapy as standard of care.

Inclusion criteria
. Adult patients ≥ 18 years of age on the date of CLAD-BOS diagnosis
. Patients with a CLAD-BOS clinician diagnosis from as early as 01 January 2013
. Patients with CLAD-BOS clinician diagnosis made at least 12 months after lung transplant
. Patients received at least basic maintenance regimen of immunosuppressive agents including tacrolimus, a second agent such as but not limited to mycophenolate mofetil or azathioprine (or other anti-proliferative agent), and a systemic corticosteroid such as prednisone as third agent for at least 1 month before the index date. As long as the basic maintenance regimen is maintained for the abovementioned period, patients will still be considered eligible for the study even if they are receiving other immunosuppressive agents in addition to the basic maintenance regimen.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
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.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
To evaluate the FEV1 trajectory of patients diagnosed with CLAD-BOS
. Patients with severe concomitant disease at the time of index date, which according to physician's judgment, can interfere with CLAD-BOS progression and mortality (e.g., malignancies, severe chronic diseases)
. Patients who have been exposed to any investigational medical products in the 4 weeks prior to index date or during the post-diagnosis period
. Patients with confirmed other CLAD phenotype (e.g., restrictive allograft syndrome) according to physician's judgment.
