Summary

This study tested an experimental drug called QBW251 in 42 adults with bronchiectasis, a lung condition causing mucus buildup and infections. The goal was to see if the drug could safely reduce bacteria in the lungs and improve symptoms. However, the trial was terminated early, so results are limited.
