Study of bronchiectasis and why infections keep coming back
Part of Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat, Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study follows children (age 5+) and adults with bronchiectasis or ongoing/repeated lung infections to learn what makes infections more likely. It mainly looks at non–cystic fibrosis causes, but may include some related conditions to compare differences.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re age 5 or older (or you’re an adult) with long-lasting or recurring lung infections
- You have a primary care doctor or specialist physician who refers you to the study
- You are willing to have samples collected and stored for future testing
- Your condition is thought to relate to weakened defenses or lung structure (tests may show infections or lung/sinus changes)
- You (or your legal helper) can consent and are able to come back for follow-up visits

This study looks at how bacteria live in the lungs of people with bronchiectasis and how they may adapt over time. It may help researchers understand why infections keep coming back and how to better manage chronic lung colonization.
This study looks at the bacteria in the lungs, infection patterns, and CT scan findings in people with COPD, asthma, or bronchiectasis. It aims to understand these conditions better and may help guide future treatments.
This study looks at why bronchiectasis gets worse over time. It may help doctors understand the disease better and find better ways to monitor or treat it.
This study collects information from people with various inflammatory lung conditions, like asthma or COPD, to better understand them and improve treatment. Healthy volunteers are also needed for comparison.
This study helps doctors understand how severe your bronchiectasis is and predict when you might have flare-ups. You'll have routine tests over 12 months to help researchers learn more about this condition and improve future care.
This study helps doctors identify different types of bronchiectasis (a lung disease where airways are permanently widened and damaged) to better understand how the disease develops and progresses. By following patients over time and collecting medical information, researchers hope to create a system that predicts which patients will worsen and need different treatments.
