NCT ID NCT02586883
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how the lungs move chloride, sodium, and bicarbonate in 42 patients with idiopathic bronchiectasis (widened airways of unknown cause). Researchers measured electrical signals in the airway lining during bronchoscopy and took nasal and bronchial samples. The goal was to identify specific transport abnormalities that might explain the condition.
