People with bronchiectasis are prone to Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) infections, which can become chronic and lead to increased death rates and disease severity. Studies from cystic fibrosis suggest that eradication therapy aimed at PA can successfully transition patients to a culture-negative status, providing long-term benefits. Current guidelines for managing bronchiectasis in adults recommend eradicating PA when it is first or newly isolated; however, there is a lack of randomized controlled trials supporting such recommendations. The researchers hypothesize that both oral ciprofloxacin combined with Tobramycin inhalation solution and Tobramycin inhalation solution alone are superior to no eradication (inhaled saline) in terms of the eradication rates of PA, defined as a negative sputum culture of PA at both 24 weeks and 36 weeks.
To determine the effects of endurance training on functional capacity and QOL(Quality of life) in patients with post-TB (tuberculosis) lung disease. Post-tuberculosis lung disease is a major health concern nowadays. There is limited evidence in the literature regarding the rehabilitation of patients with cured tuberculosis which leads to post-TB complications.
The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of using EFA technology versus the combination of EFA + high flow in hypersecretory patients COPD and bronchiectasis
Although patients with bronchiectasis tend to have non reversible obstructive patterns on pulmonary function tests (PFTs), reversible obstruction is not uncommon. While bronchodilator response (BDR) is a main characteristic of asthma, the pathophysiology causing this phenomenon in bronchiectasis patients is less clear. The goal of this clinical trial is to assess BDR in patients with bronchiectasis. The main aims of this study: 1. To evaluate the role of bronchodilators in BDR testing of patients with bronchiectasis. 2. Characterize and compare BDR between different subgroups of patients with bronchiectasis, and compared to patients without bronchiectasis (healthy controls). 3. Identify demographics and other clinical variables associated with positive BDR Participants will be taking a series of three spirometry tests: After the first spirometry testing, patients will be randomly assigned to receive bronchodilators as per bronchodilator response protocol (Salbutamol, 100 mcg, 4 puffs via spacer) or four puffs of placebo. After a waiting time of 15 minutes, spirometry will be repeated. Following the second spirometry testing those who received salbutamol will now receive placebo and those receiving placebo will receive Salbutamol. After a second period of 15 minutes, a third series of spirometry will be recorded.
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.
The purpose of this research is to investigate whether a home-based and health coach supported specific breathing and respiratory muscle training program improves the ability to exercise, the function of the lungs and breathing muscles, and general clinical status in people with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (non-CFB).
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). 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 study are put into the BI 1291583 dosage groups randomly, which means by chance. Placebo tablets look like BI 1291583 but do not contain any medicine. Participants who were taking BI 1291583 in the Airleafᵀᴹ study continue to take the same dose. Participants visit the study site 9 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.
