Hidden lung disease may be caught with a nose test and microscope
NCT ID NCT07566611
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will test 60 adults with bronchiectasis (a chronic lung condition) to see if they have an undiagnosed genetic disorder called primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). Researchers will measure nitric oxide in the nose and examine tiny hair-like cells from a nasal swab under a high-speed microscope. The goal is to find out how often PCD is missed in this group.
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 screening method could help diagnose a hidden cause of bronchiectasis, leading to more targeted care for some patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (60 people) focused on detection, not treatment. The screening may not prove accurate enough for wider use.
