This study investigates the safety and tolerability of Nintedanib in patients with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. All study patients with BOS will be treated with the study drug Nintedanib (300 mg/day) as an add-on therapy to their basic immunosuppressive treatment over a 12-months treatment period.
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) is an established treatment option for several malignant and non-malignant disorders. An important limitation of long-term survival after HCT is chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD). The manifestation of cGvHD in the lungs, bronchiolitis obliterans (BO - if proven by lung biopsy) or bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS - clinical diagnosis), has a reported incidence between 5 and 20%. Despite different treatment approaches, prognosis of BO remains poor, with an overall 3-year mortality of up to 65%. Nintedanib is an orally available indolinone derivate that competitively binds to the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors, fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptors, and platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) receptors. The anti-fibrotic activities of Nintedanib may impact the progressive course of fibrotic lung diseases like BO. This study investigates the safety and tolerability of Nintedanib in patients with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation.

| change in forced vital capacity (FVC) | volume of air that can forcibly be blown out after full inspiration, (measured in Liters) | Pulmonary function tests will be performed at screening, after 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12 and after 13 months |
| change in total lung capacity (TLC) | the volume in the lungs at maximal Inflation (measured in liters) | Pulmonary function tests will be performed at screening, after 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12 and after 13 months |
| Change in diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) | extent to which oxygen passes from the air sacs of the lungs into the blood (measured in "ml/min/kPa) | Pulmonary function tests will be performed at screening, after 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12 and after 13 months |
| Change in exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) | Change in exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) (measured in parts per Billion) | Pulmonary function tests will be performed at screening, after 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12 and after 13 months |
| Nitrogen (N2)-washout | The following describes a single-breath nitrogen test: A subject takes a breath of 100% oxygen and exhales through a one-way valve measuring nitrogen content and volume. A plot of the nitrogen concentration (as a % of total gas) vs. expired volume is obtained by increasing the nitrogen concentration from zero to the percentage of nitrogen in the alveoli. The nitrogen concentration is initially zero because the subject is exhaling the dead space oxygen they just breathed in (does not participate in alveolar exchange), and climbs as alveolar air mixes with the dead space air. The dead space can be determined from this curve by drawing a vertical line down the curve such that the areas below the curve (left of the line) and above the curve (right of the line) are equal | Pulmonary function tests will be performed at screening, after 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12 and after 13 months |
| changes in in 6 minutes walking distance (6-MWD) | standardized 6-minute walk test will be performed breathing room air and performed according to the guidelines of the American Thoracic Society.
