Airway bacteria study for children with PBB
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at the bacteria in the airways of children with Protracted Bacterial Bronchitis (PBB), a long-lasting cough caused by bacteria. It aims to understand how these bacteria affect the condition, which could lead to better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has been diagnosed with PBB (a long-term bacterial infection causing cough).
- You or your child's legal guardian must sign a consent form.
- Your child does not have other major health problems like HIV, asthma, COPD, or diabetes.
- Your child has not had a serious illness like pneumonia or meningitis in the last 3 months before joining.
- Your child has not been on a breathing machine (ventilator) or used antibiotics or been hospitalized in the last 3 months.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether MRI (a safe imaging scan) can help doctors diagnose a specific type of lung disease in children. Your child would have an MRI scan to see if it gives doctors useful information before they do a procedure called a bronchoscopy.
This study collects samples (like fluid from the lungs) during a planned bronchoscopy to look for new ways to understand and predict children's breathing problems. It might help if your child already needs this procedure for a medical reason.
This trial tests two different antibiotic treatments for adults with bronchiectasis who have a new or recent infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) bacteria in their airways. The goal is to see which regimen works better to clear the infection early.
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 (microbiome) in the airways of infants under 2 years old with severe asthma. It aims to understand how these bacteria might affect the disease.
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.
