Bronchiectasis, Non-Cystic FibrosisPhase 3NCT07274020
Long-Term Safety and Efficacy of Moxifloxacin in Bronchiectasis Patients
A Phase 3 study of Bronchiectasis, Non-Cystic Fibrosis, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.
Trial summary
Bronchiectasis is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by recurrent infections, inflammation, and progressive lung damage. Frequent exacerbations are associated with increased morbidity, accelerated lung function decline, and reduced quality of life. Preventing exacerbations is a key therapeutic goal.

About this study
Official title: Effectiveness and Safety of Long-Term Intermittent Moxifloxacin Eradication Therapy in Non-Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis: A 12-Month Randomized Controlled Trial
Bronchiectasis is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by recurrent infections, inflammation, and progressive lung damage. Frequent exacerbations are associated with increased morbidity, accelerated lung function decline, and reduced quality of life. Preventing exacerbations is a key therapeutic goal. Moxifloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic with broad-spectrum activity, may play a role in intermittent eradication therapy to reduce bacterial load, achieve microbiological clearance, and minimize exacerbation frequency.
This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of long-term intermittent moxifloxacin therapy compared with standard care in patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis.
- Conditions
- Bronchiectasis, Non-Cystic Fibrosis
- Being tested
- Intermittent Moxifloxacin + Standard Care, Standard Care (in control arm)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study of Bronchiectasis, Non-Cystic Fibrosis, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact montaser gamal ahmed, lecturer (+201008951058, montaser_zahran@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Exacerbation frequency (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Dec 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
