Diverse journeys and a range of disease states lead individuals to undergo lung transplants, yet they all find common ground in experiencing similar post-transplant realities. These experiences profoundly alter their lives in various ways. New lungs offer renewed vitality and optimism, but they also come with the potential for complications. Shockingly, approximately 55% of recipients will develop BOS, a form of chronic rejection, within the first five years following their transplant.
While there are currently no approved treatments, we remain inspired by the continuing advances in research and clinical trials for a future therapeutic.
We are confident that by working together, we can elevate awareness about BOS, accelerate the development of promising new treatments, all while remaining dedicated to keeping the patient at the forefront of our mission.
Join us on November 5, 2026, as we unite for BOS Education Day.
Thank you for supporting BOS Education Day!

The first human lung transplant was performed on June 11, 1963. It was a revolutionary procedure. A lung transplant can bring back easier breathing and provide years of life for people with severe lung disease.
An unfortunate complication of lung transplant is a disease called bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome or BOS (pronounced "boss"). The disease can attack the healthy new lung(s) and make the body reject the lung(s). Fifty percent of lung transplant recipients may develop BOS. If the condition develops, it can make an already difficult transplant journey that much harder. The poor outcomes regarding BOS are due to poor diagnostic criteria, poorly understood disease pathogenesis, and very few studies of therapeutic or supportive care interventions.
We know that together, we can help improve education about BOS, and, in turn, help speed the development of potential new treatments and facilitate understanding of the cause of the condition. Join us on November 5, 2026, as we unite for BOS Education Day.
Creating a world where all lung transplant patients live long, healthy lives.
