A Phase III Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of BI 1291583 Tablets Taken Once Daily for Up to 76 Weeks in People Aged 12 and Older With Bronchiectasis

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying bronchiectasis in adults and adolescents aged 12 to under 18 who produce sputum and have experienced flare-ups. The trial aims to evaluate whether the medicine BI 1291583 can help reduce these flare-ups compared to a placebo. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either BI 1291583 or a placebo in a phase III, double-blind study. Participants take one tablet of either BI 1291583 or placebo once daily for up to 1 year and 6 months. The study includes two groups one receiving the active medication and the other receiving placebo tablets that look identical but contain no medicine. The study period lasts up to 1 year and 8 months, during which participants attend up to 10 site visits and receive about 13 phone calls. During the study, participants regularly record their bronchiectasis symptoms in a smartphone diary. Study doctors monitor participants health, note any flare-ups, and check for unwanted effects. Researchers compare the number of flare-ups between the two groups as the primary measure. Secondary measures include time to first flare-up, quality of life changes, lung function changes, and rates of severe flare-ups.
