Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for adults with chronic lung disease to help understand how viruses may trigger flare-ups. Participants will provide samples when they feel unwell and visit the researchers for more tests over the course of two years.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
- I have been diagnosed with chronic airway disease like COPD or bronchiectasis.
- I have had a disease flare-up in the last year.
You may not be able to join if
- I cannot keep daily symptom diaries.
- I have had a flare-up within the last 4 weeks.
- I am pregnant.

About This Trial
Many people with chronic lung disease have disease flare-ups. It was previously believed that these were mainly caused by bacteria but recent evidence suggests that viruses could be an important trigger. This study will recruit volunteers with chronic lung disease and take samples both when well (at baseline) and during flare-ups (exacerbations) to better understand the role of viruses in triggeri…
