This is a trial in which 350 primary lung transplant recipients will be randomized (1:1) to receive either Tocilizumab (six doses over 20 weeks) plus standard triple maintenance immunosuppression or placebo (sterile normal saline) plus standard triple maintenance immunosuppression (Tacrolimus, Mycophenolate Mofetil, corticosteroids). The primary objective is to test the hypothesis that treatment with triple maintenance immunosuppression plus Tocilizumab (TCZ) is superior to triple maintenance immunosuppression plus placebo (saline) as defined by a composite endpoint of a) CLAD, b) listed for re-transplantation, and c) death

The development of any form of CLAD will be defined according to the standard 2019 The International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) criteria. Listed for re-transplantation Re-transplantation defined as the subject has been formally registered on the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) waiting list to undergo a second lung transplant surgery Death Primary analysis will be conducted according to an Intent-to-treat (ITT) principle and therefore will include all randomized subjects who receive Tocilizumab(TCZ) or placebo.
