Home treatment with oscillatory lung expansion for bronchiectasis
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a home-use device called BiWaze Clear, which helps clear mucus from your lungs. It is for people with bronchiectasis (including those with cystic fibrosis) who have had recent lung infections and can use the device at home.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 5 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with bronchiectasis (including if you have cystic fibrosis that has caused bronchiectasis).
- You have had at least 1 lung infection or flare-up in the last 6 months that needed unexpected medical care, or at least 2 in the last year.
- You are able to use the BiWaze Clear therapy device at home as instructed.
- You are not currently smoking or using tobacco, and have not done so in the last month.
- You have not used oscillatory lung expansion (OLE) therapy in the past year.

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.
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 trial tests whether a new medication, BI 1291583, can help people with bronchiectasis reduce lung infections and symptoms. You may join if you have had at least one or two lung flare-ups in the past year.
This trial tests if a new drug, GSK3862995B, is safe and effective for adults with bronchiectasis. It might help reduce lung infections and improve symptoms.
This trial tests high-flow oxygen (a special oxygen delivery through a device) for people hospitalized with a bronchiectasis flare-up who need breathing support. It may help people avoid more invasive breathing machines and improve comfort and breathing during a severe episode.
This trial tests whether a breathing muscle exercise can help people with bronchiectasis breathe easier. It looks at how the exercise affects your ability to cough and clear mucus.
