Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if taking the study drug, Belumosudil, for 52 weeks in addition to your usual care and medication, will prevent Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (CLAD) in participants who have a lung biopsy that shows evidence of rejection or inflammation to the transplanted lung(s). For this study, biopsies that show evidence of Acute Rejection (AR), Lymphocytic Bronchiolitis (LB), Organizing Pneumonia (OP) or Acute Lung Injury (ALI) are referred to as "Qualifying Biopsies"; patients who had evidence of one or more of these conditions on a recent biopsy are eligible for enrollment in this study. Belumosudil is an investigational drug that blocks a molecule in the body that reduces inflammation and scarring and may play a role in the development and progression of CLAD. Belumosudil is a drug approved by the FDA to treat adults and children 12 years and older with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD), a condition with some similarities to CLAD.

The primary objective it to determine the efficacy of treatment with Belumosudil + maintenance immunosuppression (IS) versus placebo + maintenance IS on preventing the subsequent development of probable or definite CLAD, lung retransplant, or death.
