What this trial studies

This study investigates the efficacy and safety of long-term oral administration of Staphylococcus albicans tablets in patients with bronchiectasis. The primary goal is to determine if these tablets can significantly reduce the frequency of acute exacerbations and the risk of hospitalization, while also improving patients' quality of life. The study will also explore the potential effects of these tablets on the immune function of patients. Participants will include those diagnosed with bronchiectasis who have experienced multiple exacerbations in the past year.

Why it matters
