What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

This study tests whether high-intensity interval exercise, short bursts of hard effort with rest in between, can help adults with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. Participants will either do this exercise plus airway clearance techniques, or only the clearance techniques, three days a week for eight weeks. Researchers will measure breathing, walking ability, muscle strength, and quality of life to see if the exercise adds real benefits.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
high-intensity interval exercise
What this could lead to
If effective, this exercise program could become a standard addition to airway clearance therapy, helping people with bronchiectasis breathe easier, move more, and feel better day to day.
What could go wrong
The trial is small and early, so results may not apply to everyone. High-intensity exercise carries risks like shortness of breath or injury, and it may not improve symptoms more than standard care.
