15 Bronchiectasis Trials

Power is an online platform that helps thousands of Bronchiectasis patients discover FDA-reviewed trials every day. Every trial we feature meets safety and ethical standards, giving patients an easy way to discover promising new treatments in the research stage.

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.

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.

Hypertonic Saline for Bronchiectasis

Chapel Hill, North Carolina
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.

This trial will test Trikafta, a medication that helps lung proteins work better, on patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. These patients have lung issues similar to cystic fibrosis but do not respond to typical treatments. The goal is to see if Trikafta can improve their lung health by clearing mucus and bacteria from their airways.

Exercise Programs for COPD

Charlestown, Massachusetts
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to compare telehealth and onsite supervised maintenance exercise program for adults with Chronic Lung Disease. The specific aims of the study are: * To compare 8-week supervised maintenance program delivered onsite and via tele-rehab with no maintenance for patients with Chronic Lung Disease following discharge from traditional exercise or physical therapy or onsite outpatient rehabilitation programs on clinical outcomes (dyspnea, exercise capacity, physical function, physical activity, and quality of life) at 8 weeks and 4-months post-intervention. * To compare the differences in dyspnea, exercise capacity, physical function, physical activity, and quality of life between an 8-week maintenance program delivered onsite and via tele-rehab at 8-weeks and 4-months post-intervention in patients with Chronic Lung Disease following discharge from traditional onsite outpatient rehabilitation. Participants in both intervention groups (onsite and tele-rehab) will undergo a baseline onsite assessment followed by an 8-week supervised exercise intervention either onsite or in a telehealth setting. Control group will receive biweekly check in calls, but no active intervention.

Support Groups for Bronchiectasis

San Francisco, California
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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Bronchiectasis clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Bronchiectasis clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Bronchiectasis trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Bronchiectasis is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Bronchiectasis medical study ?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Bronchiectasis clinical trials ?

Most recently, we added BI 1291583 for Bronchiectasis, Inhaled GDC-6988 for Obstructive Lung Disease and Hypertonic Saline for Bronchiectasis to the Power online platform.
