About this trial

This study is a phase 2b, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, dose range finding study designed to explore the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 2 active treatment regimens of CSL787 (immunoglobulin G \[IgG\] inhalation solution) compared with placebo over a period of 6 to 12 months independent of the occurrence of pulmonary exacerbations.

The primary aim of the study is to characterize the overall effect of CSL787 as well as the dose response of 2 active treatment regimens of inhaled CSL787 administered to participants with NCFB toward prolonging the TTF exacerbation.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Adult between the ages of 18 to 85 years

Primary diagnosis of NCFB confirmed by chest computed tomography (CT) scan, where bronchiectasis has been documented by a radiologist. Diagnosis in the medical records based on historical scans is acceptable if the chest CT scan confirming the participant's NCFB diagnosis was performed within 12 months before enrollment. Participants for whom no chest CT scan results are available within the previous 12 months will undergo a chest CT scan during the Screening Period

>= 2 documented exacerbations requiring oral and/or intravenous (IV) antibiotic therapy to treat a pulmonary infection.

1 documented exacerbation requiring oral and/or IV antibiotic therapy to treat a pulmonary infection and a St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Symptoms score of > 40 at Screening.

Disqualifiers

History of bronchospasm in response to inhaled therapies including inhaled antibiotics

Known or suspected hypersensitivity, or other severe reactions, to the investigational product (IP), to any excipients of the IP, or to other immunoglobulin.

Primary diagnosis of other pulmonary disorders, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) asthma or, diffuse panbronchiolitis (DPB), as determined by the investigator.

Pulmonary exacerbation requiring antibiotic therapy within the 4 weeks before Baseline.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Time to first (TTF) Exacerbation

TTF exacerbation, where an exacerbation is defined as a deterioration in \>= 3 of the following symptoms for \>= 48 hours: cough; sputum volume and / or consistency; sputum purulence; breathlessness and / or exercise tolerance; fatigue and / or malaise; hemoptysis AND a clinician determines that antibiotic therapy is required.

Time frame
Up to Month 12

Secondary outcomes

1

Annualized Exacerbation Rate (AER) (Exacerbation Event Rate Per-participant Year)

Time frame
Up to Month 12
2

Number of Participants Achieving a Clinically Important Difference in the Quality of Life-Bronchiectasis (QoL-B) Respiratory Symptoms Scale

The QoL-B questionnaire is a self-administered measure assessing symptoms, functioning, and health-related quality of life for patients with NCFB. This questionnaire contains 37 items on 8 different scales (Respiratory symptoms, Physical, Role, Emotional and Social Functioning, Vitality, Health Perceptions, and Treatment Burden). For each scale, scores are standardized on a 0-to-100-point scale; higher scores indicate better health-related quality of life.

Time frame
Up to Month 12
3

Percentage of Participants Achieving a Clinically Important Difference in the QoL-B Respiratory Symptoms Scale

The QoL-B questionnaire is a self-administered measure assessing symptoms, functioning, and health-related quality of life for patients with NCFB. This questionnaire contains 37 items on 8 different scales (Respiratory symptoms, Physical, Role, Emotional and Social Functioning, Vitality, Health Perceptions, and Treatment Burden). For each scale, scores are standardized on a 0-to-100-point scale; higher scores indicate better health-related quality of life.

Time frame

4

Change From Baseline in QoL-B Respiratory Symptoms Scale

The QoL-B questionnaire is a self-administered measure assessing symptoms, functioning, and health-related quality of life for patients with NCFB. This questionnaire contains 37 items on 8 different scales (Respiratory symptoms, Physical, Role, Emotional and Social Functioning, Vitality, Health Perceptions, and Treatment Burden). For each scale, scores are standardized on a 0-to-100-point scale; higher scores indicate better health-related quality of life.
