Treatment and study plan

Low-dose H057+standard-of-care

Drug

Subjects are administered low-dose inhaled H057, combined with standard-of-care treatment, which included anti-infective therapy, expectorant therapy, hemostasis, oxygen therapy, and other supportive measures.

High-dose H057+standard-of-care

Drug

Subjects are administered high-dose inhaled H057, combined with standard-of-care treatment, which included anti-infective therapy, expectorant therapy, hemostasis, oxygen therapy, and other supportive measures.

H057 placebo+standard-of-care

Drug

Subjects are administered inhaled H057 placebo, combined with standard-of-care treatment, which included anti-infective therapy, expectorant therapy, hemostasis, oxygen therapy, and other supportive measures.

Primary outcomes

  1. Quality-of-Life Bronchiectasis Respiratory Symptom Score

    Time frame: baseline to day 15

    To evaluate change in Quality-of-Life Bronchiectasis Respiratory Symptom Score (QoL-B-RSS) from baseline.

    QoL-B-RSS, a self-administered, patient-reported outcome measure assessing symptoms, functioning and health-related quality of life for patients with non-cystic fibrosis (CF) bronchiectasis, contains 37 items on 8 scales (Respiratory Symptoms, Physical, Role, Emotional and Social Functioning, Vitality, Health Perceptions and Treatment Burden). It scores ranging from 0 to 100, where lower scores indicated more severe symptoms.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Quality-of-Life Bronchiectasis Respiratory Symptom Score

    Time frame: baseline to day 29 or day 1 post-treatment

    To evaluate change in Quality-of-Life Bronchiectasis Respiratory Symptom Score (QoL-B-RSS) from baseline.

    QoL-B-RSS, a self-administered, patient-reported outcome measure assessing symptoms, functioning and health-related quality of life for patients with non-cystic fibrosis (CF) bronchiectasis, contains 37 items on 8 scales (Respiratory Symptoms, Physical, Role, Emotional and Social Functioning, Vitality, Health Perceptions and Treatment Burden). It scores ranging from 0 to 100, where lower scores indicated more severe symptoms.

  2. treatment efficacy rate

    Time frame: baseline to day 15

    Response to treatment is defined as the significant improvement or near resolution of acute exacerbation symptoms.

    Treatment failure is defined as the absence of significant improvement or progressive worsening of acute exacerbation symptoms, such as requiring hospitalization or the need for additional antibiotic therapy.

  3. clinical pulmonary infection score

    Time frame: baseline to day 15

    To evaluate change in clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS) from baseline. The CPIS is calculated on the basis of points assigned for various signs and symptoms of pneumonia (eg, fever and extent of oxygenation impairment). It scores ranging from 0 to 12, where higher scores mean a worse outcome. Some studies suggest that a CPIS >6 may correlate with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).

  4. bronchiectasis exacerbation and symptom tool

    Time frame: baseline to day 29 or day 1 post-treatment

    To evaluate change in bronchiectasis exacerbation and symptom tool (BEST) from baseline.

    The BEST diary is to detect bronchiectasis exacerbations. It scores ranging from 0 to 26, where higher scores indicate more severe symptoms.The BEST symptom diary is responsive at onset and recovery from exacerbation and may be useful to capture and characterise exacerbations.

  5. Borg Scale

    Time frame: baseline to day 29 or day 1 post-treatment

    To evaluate change in Borg Scale from baseline. Borg Scale is one of commonly used measures to assess dyspnea in chronic lung disease.The scale was modified to form a 10-point scale including written indicators of severity. The scale has been used to quantify various "perceived symptoms" such as breathlessness and muscle fatigue during exercise. The higher Borg Scale means more severe breathlessness and muscle fatigue

  6. sputum purulence score

    Time frame: baseline to day 29 or day 1 post-treatment

    To evaluate change in sputum purulence score from baseline. It scores ranging from 0 to 8, where a higher score indicates greater severity of the condition.

  7. 24-hour sputum volume

    Time frame: baseline to day 29 or day 1 post-treatment

    To evaluate change in 24-hour sputum volume from baseline

  8. FEV1%pred

    Time frame: baseline to day 29 or day 1 post-treatment

    To evaluate change in FEV1%pred from baseline

  9. the frequency of acute exacerbations in bronchiectasis

    Time frame: day 1 to day 180

  10. safety of inhaled H057 in acute exacerbations of bronchiectasis

    Time frame: day 1 to day 180

    the incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs), as well as changes in vital signs and laboratory test results, etc.

  11. pharmacokinetic characteristics--Cmax

    Time frame: day 1 to day 28

  12. pharmacokinetic characteristics--Tmax

    Time frame: day 1 to day 28

  13. pharmacokinetic characteristics--t1/2

    Time frame: day 1 to day 28

  14. pharmacokinetic characteristics--AUC0-t

    Time frame: day 1 to day 28

  15. pharmacokinetic characteristics--Rac

    Time frame: day 1 to day 28

  16. pharmacodynamic characteristic

    Time frame: day 1 to day 28

    To evaluate change in neutrophil elastase levels from baseline
