ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is testing a new inhaled medication called GDC-6988 to see how safe it is and how well it works for people with muco-obstructive diseases, which include conditions like Non-Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The study aims to find out if this inhaled treatment can help improve breathing for patients who often struggle with mucus buildup and airway blockages.

To participate in this trial, you must be between 65 and 74 years old, have a certain level of lung function as measured by a breathing test, and be stable on your current treatment for at least 28 days before starting the study. If you qualify and decide to join, you will continue your regular treatment while using the inhaler under the study's supervision. It’s important to note that pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, as well as those with certain medical conditions, cannot participate. If you are interested in being part of this study, you will receive guidance and support throughout the process.
