62 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This study is open to adults with bronchiectasis. People can participate in this study if they produce sputum and have had flare-ups (also called exacerbations). The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1291583 helps people with bronchiectasis. Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. One group takes BI 1291583 tablets and the other group takes placebo tablets. A placebo tablet looks like the BI 1291583 tablet but does not contain any medicine. Participants take 1 tablet once a day for up to 1 year and 6 months. Participants are in the study for up to 1 year and 8 months. During this time, participants visit the study site up to 10 times and get about 13 phone calls from the site staff. Participants complete a daily diary on a smartphone about their bronchiectasis symptoms and study doctors regularly check for any changes. The study doctors document when participants experience flare-ups. The number of flare-ups is compared between the participants who receive BI 1291583 and those who receive the placebo. The study doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
Bronchiectasis
ACT18018 is a multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, Phase 2 study with 3 treatment groups. The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy, safety and tolerability with 2 dosing regimens of itepekimab compared with placebo in male and/or female participants with NCFB aged 18 years of age up to 85 years of age (inclusive). Study details include: * The study duration (screening, 24-52-week treatment, 20-week safety follow-up) will be up to 47-77 weeks. * The treatment duration will be up to 24-52 weeks. * The follow-up duration will be 20 weeks. * Site/phone visits are at a monthly interval.
Bronchiectasis
This study is open to adults aged 18 years and older with cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1291583 is tolerated by people with cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. Participants are put randomly into 2 groups. One group takes BI 1291583 tablets and the other group takes placebo tablets. Placebo tablets look like BI 1291583 tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants in both groups take 1 tablet once a day for 12 weeks. Participants have twice the chance of being placed in the BI 1291583 group than in the placebo group. Participants are in the study for about 6 months. During this time, they visit the study site 7 times. At the visits, the doctors check the health of the participants and note any health problems that could have been caused by BI 1291583.
Cystic Fibrosis, Bronchiectasis
This study is open to adults aged 18 years and older with bronchiectasis. People can join the study if they were previously enrolled in another study with BI 1291583 (1397-0012: Airleafᵀᴹ or 1397-0013 Clairaflyᵀᴹ). The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1291583 helps people with bronchiectasis, an inflammatory lung condition. The investigators also want to know how well people with this condition can tolerate BI 1291583 in the long term. Participants take a low, medium, or high dose of BI 1291583 as a tablet once a day for up to 1 year. Participants who were taking placebo in the AirleafTM or ClairaflyTM study are put into the BI 1291583 dosage groups randomly, which means by chance. Placebo tablets look like BI1291583 but do not contain any medicine. Participants who were taking BI 1291583 in the AirleafTM or ClairaflyTM study continue to take the same dose. Participants visit the study site 10 times and get 4 phone calls from the site staff. During the visits, the doctors collect information on any health problems of the participants. The doctors also check whether BI 1291583 helps reduce the symptoms of bronchiectasis.
Bronchiectasis
The purpose of this study is to gather information on the effectiveness on a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with bronchiectasis.
Bronchiectasis
This is a randomized, Phase 2a, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ARINA-1 compared to placebo (isotonic saline, 0.9%) in participants with NCFBE. Study participants will receive either study treatment or placebo twice daily for 28 days. Efficacy endpoints will include quality of life, sputum rheological markers, and blood inflammatory markers. Quality of life will be measured using the following tools: Quality of Life-Bronchiectasis (QOL-B) questionnaire, St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), Chronic Airways Assessment Test (CAAT), and a daily clinical global impression questionnaire.
Non-cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis
This study is open to adults with bronchiectasis. People can join the study if they produce sputum and have a history of flare-ups (also called exacerbations). The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1291583 helps people with bronchiectasis. Participants are put into 4 groups randomly, which means by chance. Participants in groups 1, 2, and 3 get different doses of BI 1291583. Participants in group 4 get placebo. Placebo tablets look like BI 1291583 tablets, but do not contain any medicine. Participants take the tablets once a day. Participants are in the study for between 6 months and 1 year. During this time, they visit the study site about 10 times and get about 5 phone calls from the site staff. The doctors document when participants experience flare-ups during the study. The time to the first flare-ups is compared between the treatment groups. Doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

Non-Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis
Analysis of mucus, mucin and DNA concentration, MUC5B/5AC ratio, rheology, osmotic pressure, cohesion and nucleotides in sputum on 30 individual samples of good quality in healthy individuals and those with bronchiectasis. (60 total)
Bronchiectasis Adult
A biomarker cohort study design is proposed to study whether specific airway microbiota alterations are associated with pulmonary Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) disease. In a cohort of 200 subjects suspected of having pulmonary NTM disease, the investigators will evaluate the airway microbiome using an aliquot of the induced sputum and upper airway samples. Since induced sputum may reflect different regions of the upper/lower airways, the investigators will evaluate the upper and lower airway microbiome in a subgroup (case-control group) of patients using samples obtained through upper airway sampling and bronchoscopy, respectively.
Nontuberculous Mycobacteria, Bronchiectasis
To demonstrate the safety of bone marrow-derived allogeneic human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hMSCs) in patients with bronchiectasis receiving standard of care therapy, and to explore treatment efficacy

A study of an educational intervention of primary care practice physicians to assist in the identification of patients who have Bronchiectasis and to assess the effectiveness of the specific didactic educational intervention targeting primary care physicians in the recognition of Bronchiectasis.
Bronchiectasis
The AIR-BX2 study enrolled people with non-cystic fibrosis (non-CF) bronchiectasis and gram-negative airway infection. Participants received two 28-day courses of either Aztreonam for Inhalation Solution (AZLI) or placebo taken 3 times a day. Each course was followed by a 28-day off-drug period. Following the two blinded courses, all participants received a 28-day course of open-label AZLI then were followed for an additional 56 days.

Bronchiectasis
Background: - Bronchiectasis is a type of lung condition in which the lungs airways are abnormally stretched and widened. This stretching and widening makes it difficult for mucus and other substances to move out of the lungs, encouraging the growth of bacteria and leading to breathing problems or infection. Bronchiectasis can be caused by genetic disorders or diseases such as tuberculosis or rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers are interested in developing better ways to diagnose and treat a lung problem called idiopathic or unexplained bronchiectasis. Objectives: - To better describe the physical characteristics, radiographic patterns, and airway microbiology of unexplained bronchiectasis and to look for possible genetic links or risk factors. Eligibility: * Individuals at least 18 years of age who have a chronic cough and who have had a CT scan that has revealed signs of bronchiectasis. * Current smokers or those who have smoked for at least 10 years, as well as individuals who have known causes of bronchiectasis or who have had organ transplants, are not eligible to participate. Design: * Participants will have one outpatient clinic visit for evaluation with a physical examination including detailed body size measurements and medical history and for collection of blood samples for routine lab tests and genetic analyses and a chest x-ray if no recent one is available. * Participants will also have tests of lung function, and measurement of a gas called nitric oxide in the nose. Participants whose initial tests show abnormal results may also be asked to have a nasal scrape to collect cell samples and/or a skin sweat test to measure salt concentrations. * Participants will also have a sputum specimen collected during the visit and will be asked to collect two additional early morning sputum samples and a mouth rinse at home within 2 weeks of the clinic visit, and mail the sample collection materials to the research team.
Infection, Bronchial Diseases, Respiratory Tract Diseases
The primary objective is to evaluate whether DAS181 is safe in subjects with well-controlled asthma or bronchiectasis.
Asthma, Bronchiectasis
Background: * Bronchiectasis is a disease characterized by airways that are inflamed, abnormally dilated, and chronically infected. Individuals with bronchiectasis have a history of chronic and recurring respiratory infections. Depending on the underlying cause, these infections may involve the entire respiratory tract, resulting in sinus, ear, and lung disease. * Bronchiectasis continues to be a significant problem in developing countries and in specific groups of individuals, particularly in people who have cystic fibrosis. Although treatments are available or under development for bronchiectasis related to cystic fibrosis, many of the disease-specific treatments may not be effective for bronchiectasis not related to cystic fibrosis. Objectives: - To study the natural history of bronchiectasis to identify inherited and immune factors that may explain why certain individuals have chronic recurring infections. Eligibility: * Individuals 5 years of age and older who have an established diagnosis of bronchiectasis or a history of chronic/recurring respiratory infections. * Direct family members (e.g., parents, siblings, children) of patients in the study may also be asked to participate. Design: * Potential participants will be screened with an initial clinic evaluation and full medical history, as well as a general quality of life and respiratory symptom questionnaire. * The following standard procedures may be done as part of the study: air sampling from the nose; imaging studies, which may include an x-ray or computed tomography (CT), lung function tests; and collection of samples of blood, urine, and sputum (phlegm or mucus). Other tests may be performed as required by the researchers, and will be explained to patients as needed. * Both patients and relatives (if asked to participate) will provide the following samples: blood or buccal (cheek swab) cells for genetic testing, sputum, and urine. * To prevent infections and potential disease progression, patients may receive standard medical care and treatment for bronchiectasis and related infections during this protocol.
Bronchiectasis, Cystic Fibrosis, Autoimmune Disease, Common Variable Immunodeficiency
The purpose of this study is to find out if bacterial load in the airways can be reduced after inhalation of ciprofloxacin for 28 days.
Bronchiectasis
Over the 70-day study period, eligible patients visited the study clinic every 2 weeks (total of 6 visits) and received a 28-day course of aztreonam for inhalation solution (AZLI). The Quality of Life-Bronchiectasis (QOL-B) questionnaire was completed at several time points during the study, in additional to pulmonary function testing and other standard procedures.
Bronchiectasis
This is a study to determine the safety and tolerability of 28 days of daily dosing of two doses (280 mg and 560 mg) of Arikayce™ versus placebo in patients who have bronchiectasis and chronic infection due to Pseudomonas infection.
Bronchiectasis
No gold standard therapy exists for clearing mucus from the airways of patients with bronchiectasis. While rhDNase has a proven place in the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF), it failed to improve Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) in a short-term non-CF bronchiectasis study and has been shown to be detrimental after 6 months therapy in non CF bronchiectasis, moreover it has no proven effect on mucociliary clearance. Hypertonic saline has been shown to have a comparable mode of action to inhaled mannitol, but has yet to be examined as a long term treatment option in bronchiectasis. The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy and safety of 52 weeks treatment with inhaled mannitol in subjects with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. Previous studies with inhaled mannitol have demonstrated improvement in mucociliary clearance; mucus rehydration; improvement in quality of life and respiratory symptoms in patients with bronchiectasis and pulmonary function in cystic fibrosis. The results of this current study in combination with a recently completed 3 month study seek to confirm these early findings and to extend the evidence to support its use as a mucoactive therapy in subjects with bronchiectasis. We hypothesize that mannitol will improve the overall health and hygiene of the lung through regular and effective clearing of the mucus load. As a consequence of the reduction in mucus load and inflammatory process, the frequency of bronchiectasis related pulmonary exacerbations and the need for exacerbation related antibiotic treatment should fall. Days in hospital and community health care costs are expected to change in line with improvements in respiratory health. Finally, we plan to demonstrate that inhaled mannitol is safe and well tolerated over a 52 week period. We will test these hypotheses using 400 mg mannitol twice daily (BD) against control.
Bronchiectasis
This study is a randomized, controlled trial examining the effectiveness of the mechanical cough-assist device (in-exsufflator) in promoting the clearance of retained airway secretions in patients with symptomatic bronchiectasis. We hypothesize that this enhanced clearance of airway secretions will lead to a decline in the number of acute exacerbations of bronchiectasis experienced by these patients during the study period, improve health-related quality of life, decrease overall health-care costs and improve pulmonary function.
Bronchiectasis
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to assess the efficacy and safety of ensifentrine inhalation suspension (3 mg) delivered twice daily via standard jet nebulizer over at least 24 weeks, compared to placebo, in subjects with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE).
Non-cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis
BronchConnect is a prospective trial to investigate the impact of support groups on health care related quality of life in those with noncystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE). It has been well demonstrated that participation in patient support groups improves quality of life in those who suffer from interstitial lung disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, but the impact is largely unknown for those who live with NCFBE, a chronic lung disease with rising prevalence with no targeted FDA-approved therapy. NCFBE causes chronic cough, dyspnea, recurrent infections, and leads to anxiety and uncertainty. This study seeks to evaluate the impact of a virtual patient support group for patients with NCFBE through questionnaires to assess change of quality of life and anxiety, and exacerbation rates through clinical assessment.
Non-cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis
Study participants with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis will be given Trikafta for four weeks. The researchers will monitor clinical endpoints, quality of life, and weight. Additionally, cutaneous punch biopsy material material or blood samples from participants who agree to do this optional test will be collected to test cellular response to Trikafta.
