Studying non-invasive ventilation for bronchiectasis
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial is studying how a mask that helps you breathe (non-invasive ventilation) affects people with bronchiectasis (a condition where airways in the lungs are stretched and scarred). It may help doctors understand if this treatment improves quality of life or slows the disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have bronchiectasis (widened airways) diagnosed by a CT scan, and it is not caused by cystic fibrosis.
- Your doctor has prescribed long-term use of a non-invasive ventilator (a mask that helps you breathe at home).
- You do not have other major lung conditions like COPD, asthma, or sarcoidosis, and your bronchiectasis is not due to a blockage or other illness.

This trial uses a breathing mask (non-invasive ventilation) to help people who need a bronchoscopy. It aims to make the procedure safer and more comfortable for those with breathing problems.
This trial tests an inhaled medication called CSL787 to see if it can help people with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (a lung condition that causes frequent infections and breathing problems). The study looks at different doses and checks how well the drug works and if it is safe.
This study looks at how different types of inflammation in your sputum (mucus you cough up) relate to your lung health over time. It aims to understand why some people with bronchiectasis do better than others, which may help improve future treatments.
This study looks at whether breathing exercises combined with exercise training can improve how much and how well you can breathe during activity in people with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. It may help by improving breathing efficiency and exercise tolerance, but you must be stable and healthy enough to safely exercise.
This study tests a new medicine for people with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. It aims to see if the drug can help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
This trial compares two non-invasive breathing treatments—one that pushes air in, and one that helps you breathe out—to see which one helps people with COPD recover faster during a flare-up.
