Exclusion criteria

CF Patients

• Patient with a positive test for active Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA) infection confirmed at screening or patient withABPA related bronchiectasis.
• Pregnant or lactating women.
• Patient on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) within 4 weeks prior to screening or prior to randomization visit.
• Patient on cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators and correctors if not on stable treatment regimen for at least 3 months prior to screening or prior to randomization.
• Positive HIV1 or HIV2 serology at screening; Positive results from the Hepatitis serology which indicates acute or chronic Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C at screening (i.e. positive HB surface antigen (HBsAg), HB core antibody (anti-HBc), HC antibody);

NCFB Patients

• Patient with BMI ≤ 17
• History of a clinically meaningful unstable or uncontrolled chronic comorbidity in the opinion of the Investigator;
• Unstable pulmonary status or symptomatic respiratory tract infection and related changes in therapy for pulmonary disease as per Investigator's judgment within 4 weeks before screening or prior to randomisation.
