Non-Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to measure the reduction in mucus plug score at 24 weeks of treatment with SAR445399 compared with placebo in adult participants aged 18 to 80 years with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB).

Non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE) is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by a clinical syndrome of chronic productive cough and recurrent respiratory infections in the presence of abnormal and permanent dilation of the bronchi. Recent epidemiological studies have clearly shown that the prevalence and incidence of NCFBE are quickly rising both in high- and low-income countries. With the increase of prevalence, bronchiectasis brings huge medical and economic burden to the society. In this study, the investigator will perform biomarker assessments and multi-omics analysis on NCFBE patients and healthy participants in China to validate the link of disease pathways to pathophysiological features and uncover the molecular endotypes behind clinical phenotypesof Chinese patients with NCFBE.

Bronchiectasis is a chronic lung disease of multiple aetiologies characterised by permanent dilatation of the calibre of a territory of the bronchial tree with impaired mucociliary clearance. This alteration causes mucus retention, leading to infections and chronic bronchial inflammation. Respiratory physiotherapy is one of the cornerstones of the management of these patients, in particular to facilitate bronchial drainage. In patients with abundant bronchial secretions, it is recommended that bronchial drainage sessions be carried out on a daily or more frequent basis, which represents a very substantial burden in terms of care. In addition, access to respiratory physiotherapy is not always easy for patients due to geographical or time constraints or the availability of professionals. Moreover, few professionals are trained in this specific care for chronic lung diseases. SIMEOX (Physio-Assist, France) is an innovative medical device (CE medical mark) for draining the bronchial tree. By means of a mouthpiece, this device generates a succession of very short intermittent negative air pressure pulses which disseminate a pneumatic vibratory signal in the patient's bronchial tree, modifying the rheological properties of the mucus, facilitating the mobilisation of secretions and assisting their transport towards the upper airways. A recent pilot study demonstrated that the use of SIMEOX independently by the patient at home for 3 months, combined with remote Physiotherapy (1 session/2 weeks), provided a very satisfactory bronchial drainage solution for patients (satisfaction assessed at 9/10 by visual analogue scale), with an improvement in their quality of life and very good compliance with the device (median of 4.7 sessions/week). This bronchial drainage strategy requires a long-term assessment. Hypothesis: the use of SIMEOX independently by the patient at home could improve long-term quality of life and reduce the rate of pulmonary exacerbations in non-cystic fibrosis (non-CF) patients with bronchiectasis (bronchial dilatation) in comparison to Standard of Care (SoC).

This study evaluates the safety, tolerability, and activity of inhaled GDC-6988 in participants with muco-obstructive disease.

This is a phase III, single-arm, open-label, multicenter study to assess the safety of HSK31858 in non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE) participants.

The Azithromycin to Modify Bronchiectasis Exacerbation Risk (AMBER) trial is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group clinical trial in adults with clinically and radiologically confirmed non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB). The trial evaluates whether azithromycin 250 mg orally once daily for 12 months, added to standard bronchiectasis care, reduces the occurrence of at least one bronchiectasis exacerbation during 12-month follow-up compared with matching placebo added to standard bronchiectasis care. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 allocation ratio to standard care plus matching placebo or standard care plus azithromycin. The primary analysis will follow the intention-to-treat (ITT) principle. The AMBER trial is embedded within the Assiut University bronchiectasis translational research platform and is linked to the Bronchiectasis Assessment of Severity and Exacerbations (BASE) framework and the Bronchiectasis Phenotype Identification Model (BPIM). BASE and BPIM are not used for randomization stratification and will not modify the primary randomized comparison.

Non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB) is a chronic airway disease characterized by permanent bronchial dilatation, impaired mucus clearance, recurrent infection, airway inflammation, and repeated exacerbations. Existing bronchiectasis severity tools are clinically useful, but many depend on prior exacerbation history, hospitalization history, subjective symptom assessment, or culture-based microbiological classification. This prospective observational cohort study aims to develop and validate the Bronchiectasis Assessment of Severity and Exacerbations (BASE) framework. BASE is designed to classify current bronchiectasis severity and predict 12-month exacerbation risk using objective baseline functional, radiological, oxygenation, and inflammatory variables. Detailed methodological specifications, including variable definitions, scoring architecture, endpoint hierarchy, development-validation governance, and analytical integrity rules, are archived in a restricted-access Zenodo record: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20143505 . Participants will receive routine clinical care, and no treatment or intervention will be assigned by the study protocol. Patients will be followed for 12 months to record bronchiectasis exacerbations, hospitalization, lung-function change, inflammatory marker change, and clinical outcomes. The Bronchiectasis Assessment of Severity and Exacerbations (BASE) framework includes two linked baseline models: the BASE Severity model (BASE-S) for current bronchiectasis severity classification and the BASE Prognostic model (BASE-P) for prediction of 12-month exacerbation risk. Both models will be derived in the development cohort and applied unchanged to the validation cohort.

The Bronchiectasis Phenotype Identification Model (BPIM) is a prospective observational development-validation study within the Assiut University bronchiectasis translational research platform. The study evaluates whether latent class trajectory analysis (LCTA)-derived bronchiectasis phenotype classes can be translated into a supervised baseline classifier for adults with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB). Latent class trajectory analysis (LCTA) will first identify trajectory-derived phenotype classes using prospectively collected longitudinal disease-signature data. The Bronchiectasis Phenotype Identification Model (BPIM) will then be trained to predict the accepted latent class trajectory analysis (LCTA)-derived phenotype class using the locked baseline disease-signature architecture. This study is observational and non-interventional. No treatment, medication, intervention, exposure, or management strategy is assigned by the protocol. All participants receive routine clinical care according to institutional practice and treating physician judgment. The locked methodological disclosure, protocol, and deterministic statistical analysis plan are archived in the version-specific Zenodo record: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20157926.

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).

This is a prospective, single-center, two-arm (1:1), assessor-blinded, randomized controlled clinical trial that will be conducted in collaboration with the outpatient clinic of the third Pediatric Pulmonology Unit, "Attikon" University Hospital of Athens in Greece. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of applying digital physiotherapy services in the management of specific clinical outcomes in children with chronic suppurative lung diseases, other than cystic fibrosis. The research question is whether airway clearance techniques and exercise training that are performed remotely using digital health services (DHSs) can improve functional and exercise capacity, as well as compliance with ACTs, compared to usual care. The intervention program includes airway clearance techniques (ACTs), as well as aerobic and strengthening exercises that can be implemented easily in an online setting at home with minimal equipment. The duration of the program will be 12 weeks, and the prescribed weekly regimen will consist of 50-minute remote sessions: two synchronous, supervised sessions conducted via the Vsee platform, and a minimum of one asynchronous, unsupervised session. Children will be encouraged to maintain daily adherence to the exercise protocol.

This study is a phase 2b, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, dose range finding study designed to explore the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 2 active treatment regimens of CSL787 (immunoglobulin G \[IgG\] inhalation solution) compared with placebo over a period of 6 to 12 months independent of the occurrence of pulmonary exacerbations. The primary aim of the study is to characterize the overall effect of CSL787 as well as the dose response of 2 active treatment regimens of inhaled CSL787 administered to participants with NCFB toward prolonging the TTF exacerbation.

The purpose of this single arm clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of 7% hypertonic saline (HS) delivered by nebulizer on clearance of mucus from the lungs in people with bronchiectasis (dilated airways) not due to cystic fibrosis. Mucociliary clearance (MCC) to measure the rate at which a person's lungs can clear inhaled particles will be assessed at baseline, and after acute (single dose) HS treatment, as well as after two weeks of treatment with HS. The study has two main questions: 1. Evaluate the repeatability MCC measures in people with non-CF bronchiectasis 2. Compare MCC at baseline (before treatment with HS), after a single dose of HS (acute effect of HS), and after two weeks of treatment with HS twice a day (sustained effect of HS). Participants will participate in up to 5 study visits if completing both Aim 1 and Aim 2: 1 screening/enrollment visit, 2 baseline visits (1 baseline visit if only participating in Aim 2), 1 visit during which first dose of HS would be administered and assessed, and 1 visit after 2 weeks of treatment with HS.
