The inclusion of a Pre\u2010BOS category, BOS<jats:sub>0\u223cp<\/jats:sub>, in newly revised guidelines, recognizes the potential importance of early changes. We have previously demonstrated reticular basement membrane (Rbm) thickening in clinically stable lung transplant recipients free from BOS. The present study extends this, testing the hypothesis that inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy will lead to a decrease in Rbm thickness in lung transplant recipients.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/jats:bold> A parallel group, bronchoscopic intervention study of clinically stable lung allograft recipients, free from BOS, but with evidence of airway inflammation. Following baseline assessment of Rbm thickening, subjects were randomized to 3 months of either chlorofluorocarbon\u2010driven beclomethasone diproprionate (BDP) 400\u2003\u03bcg b.i.d., or a formulation designed to yield at least an equivalent dose, hydrofluoroalkane\u2010driven BDP, 200\u2003\u03bcg b.i.d.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/jats:bold> Three months treatment with a moderate dose of ICS, including a formulation designed for preferential small airway deposition, had no effect on Rbm thickening (13\u00b13 vs. 14\u00b15\u2003\u03bcm post\u2010ICS).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/jats:bold> Our data would suggest that airway remodelling can occur early in lung allografts and is not affected by moderate dose ICS therapy.
