Clinical Trial Summary

Bronchiectasis is a long-term lung condition where the airways become abnormally enlarged, leading to a build-up of mucus and inflammation that makes the lungs more susceptible to recurrent infection. Patients with bronchiectasis have subtle abnormalities in the way their airway cells respond to infection that are, in part, responsible for the development of their condition. At present there are no licensed treatments for bronchiectasis. This study will aim to characterise in depth some of these abnormalities with a view to future studies that will try to develop treatments that can directly target those abnormalities at a molecular level. Patients known to have bronchiectasis who have provided written informed consent will be enrolled alongside healthy volunteers and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cystic fibrosis, for comparison. Participants will give a blood sample and have a bronchoscopy. This is a thin telescopic tube, passed through the nose or mouth, under sedation, into the airways that will allow a sample of bronchial epithelial cells to be taken. The main objective of the study is to achieve a greater understanding of some of the key biological processes/pathways and disease marker genes that play a role in the development of bronchiectasis. This is important because, at present, little is known about the underlying disease mechanisms and there are no licensed treatments for bronchiectasis. The investigator's hope this in-depth characterisation of specific bronchial epithelial cell abnormalities in bronchiectasis will shed light on novel targets for future drug discovery.

Have provided written informed consent that they are willing to participate in the study prior to sample collection Exclusion Criteria: 1. Any clinically significant acute illness, including recent exacerbation of lung disease requiring treatment with oral or intravenous antibiotics, in 6 weeks prior to screening 2. Any contraindication to safe bronchoscopy as judged by CI or clinical team (FEV1 < 30% predicted, oxygen saturations < 92% on room air etc.) 3. Any clinically significant bleeding disorder or use of anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapy that could place participants at risk of bleeding 4. Any contraindication to sedation or local anaesthetic medications used for bronchoscopy 5. Current smoking within 6 months prior to screening (defined as someone who has smoked at least one cigarette per day (or pipe, cigar, or cannabis) for = 30 days within 6 months prior to screening) 6. Acute MI, acute stroke or major surgery within 6 months prior to screening 7. History of uncontrolled ischaemic heart disease that place participants at risk during bronchoscopy 8.

Known current malignancy or current evaluation for a potential malignancy 13. Any other clinically significant medical disease that is uncontrolled despite treatment, that is likely, in the opinion of the investigators, to impact the patient's ability to safely participate in the study

Intervention

Diagnostic Test:
Bronchoscopy
Flexible bronchoscopy will be performed under sedation (typically a sedative such as intravenous midazolam and/or fentanyl) with local anaesthetic to the throat and vocal cords. Bronchial epithelial tissue (via bronchial brushing and biopsy forceps) and bronchial lavage samples will be taken for analysis.
Blood test
Peripheral blood will be taken to collect peripheral blood monocytes, which will then allow the production of induced pluripotent stem cell derived bronchial epithelial tissues.
