NCT ID NCT04966793
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 1,850 bronchiectasis patients over three years, collecting sputum samples monthly to analyze how lung bacteria change over time. Researchers will sequence the DNA of bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa to see how they evolve and become resistant to antibiotics. The goal is to better predict acute attacks and find new ways to prevent infections by adjusting the lung microbiome.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors predict flare-ups and find new ways to prevent infections by adjusting lung bacteria.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly improve health, and results may take years to apply.
