Comparing two breathing therapies for bronchiectasis
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a new device called Simeox works better than standard chest physical therapy for people with bronchiectasis (widened airways that trap mucus). It compares how well each method clears mucus from the lungs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests an inhaled medicine called ALX1 for adults with bronchiectasis. It looks at whether the drug can help reduce lung infections and improve mucus clearance.
This trial tests the LibAirty system, a device that helps clear mucus from your lungs, in people with bronchiectasis. Participants use the device at home to see how well it works in daily life.
This trial tests if a device called Simeox can reduce trapped air in the lungs of people with severe COPD. It may help you breathe easier if you have pulmonary hyperinflation.
This study tests a device called Simeox to help people with bronchiectasis clear mucus from their lungs more easily. It may be an option if you have a daily cough with mucus and are already using airway clearance therapy.
This study tests a home-use device called SIMEOX, which helps clear mucus from your lungs. It is for adults with bronchiectasis (not cystic fibrosis) who have frequent lung infections.
This study compares two breathing techniques—a set of active cycle of breathing exercises (ACBT) and an Aerobika device—to see which helps people with bronchiectasis clear mucus better and have fewer lung infections. You may be eligible if you have frequent flare-ups and have not used the Aerobika device before.
