A Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Brensocatib in Participants With Non-Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of brensocatib at 10 mg and 25 mg compared with placebo on the rate of pulmonary exacerbations (PEs) over the 52-week treatment period.

4. Women must be postmenopausal (defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause), surgically sterile, or using highly effective contraception (ie, methods that can achieve a failure rate \<1% per year when used consistently and correctly) from Day 1 to at least 90 days after the last dose.
5. Male participants with female partners of childbearing potential must be using effective contraception from Day 1 to at least 90 days after the last dose.
6. Male participants with pregnant or non-pregnant women of child-bearing potential partners must use condoms to avoid potential exposure to the embryo/fetus.
