prophylactic macrolides have been recently discontinued, patients must have been off
treatment for at least 3 months prior to randomisation. In all other cases of
prophylactic antibiotic use, ≥ 4 weeks wash out period should be in place after the
last dose of antibiotic and prior to randomisation

- Must be on airway clearance therapy, physiotherapy, or mucus clearance therapy.The
dose and regimen of these therapies and any drugs used to aid expectoration should be

the DB period of the study.

- If receiving inhaled corticosteroid or bronchodilator therapy, the dose and regimen
should be stable with no alteration to dose or formulation for at least 3 months prior
to the screening visit and this should remain stable throughout the DB period of the
study.

- Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum and urine pregnancy
test prior to randomization and agree to use a highly effective method of birth
control from enrollment, throughout the study duration, and for 12 weeks after the

visit.

could:

1. Affect the safety of the patient during the study.

2. Influence the findings of the study or their interpretation.

3. Impede the patient's ability to complete the entire duration of the study.

- Radiological findings suggestive of a respiratory disease other than bronchiectasis,

follow up and demonstration of stability as per standard of care. Pulmonary nodules >
6 mm in size should have at least 2 years of follow up with no change on CT imaging.

- Current active liver disease

screening visit

- Receipt of live attenuated vaccines within 30 days of the date of randomisation

- Concurrent enrolment in another clinical drug interventional trial

- History of anaphylaxis to any biologic therapy or vaccine

- Known history of allergy or reaction to any component of the IP formulation.

- Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study (applies to both AstraZeneca
staff and/or staff at the study site)
