Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Bilateral lung transplant recipients aged = 18 years and at least 6 months
post-transplant. Patients with other organs transplanted (eg heart, liver, kidney) or
those who have undergone lobar transplantation, or re-transplantation, are potentially
eligible.

2. New-onset CLAD (defined as a persistent (3weeks apart) fall in FEV1 of at least 20%
from the mean of the two best post-transplant values taken at least 3 weeks apart) in
the 12 months prior to the screening visit. Other causes of a fall in FEV1 (acute
cellular or humoral rejection, active infection, anastomotic stenosis etc.) must be
excluded as per international guidelines.

3. Stable immunosuppression regimen, as assessed by the investigator, in the 8 weeks
prior to the screening visit.

4. Available for all specified assessments at the study site through the completion of
the study, including the protocol bronchoscopies.

5. Provision of written informed consent.
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
1. Any condition that in the opinion of the Investigator may interfere with the safety of
the patient, his / her completion of required follow-up visits or evaluation of the
study objectives

2. Untreated cellular or humoral rejection

3. Clinically meaningful and untreated viral, bacterial or fungal infection

4. Use of azithromycin or another macrolide antibiotic, if commenced within 8 weeks of
the screening visit

5. Intravenous pulsed methylprednisolone, within 4 weeks of the screening visit

6. Use of extracorporeal photopheresis, within 4 weeks of the screening visit

7. Use of total lymphoid irradiation, within 4 weeks of the screening visit

8. Poor functional status not expected to survive 6 months

9. Allergy to beef products

10. Women who are pregnant, breast-feeding or unwilling to use adequate contraception

11. Patients who are currently participating in another interventional clinical trial

Summary
Brief summary
This study is designed for lung transplant patients who have developed chronic lung allograft
dysfunction (CLAD). Consented patients will receive 4 intravenous doses of allogeneic,
bone-marrow-derived MSCs (2*10^6 cells/kg/dose) or matching placebo over a period of 2 weeks
with a 12 month follow up.
