BACKGROUND: No therapies have been approved to alter bronchiectasis progression. Dipeptidyl peptidase-1 (DPP-1) inhibitors, which target neutrophil serine protease activation, are under investigation as potential disease-modifying agents.
METHODS: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing DPP-1 inhibitors versus placebo in patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. PubMed, Cochrane, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, and ICTRP were searched from inception until April 26, 2025. Primary outcomes included time to first exacerbation and proportion of patients remaining exacerbation-free. Secondary outcomes included post-bronchodilator % Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 s (FEV1), Quality of Life-Bronchiectasis (QoL-B) questionnaire scores, and rate of adverse events. Time-to-event outcome was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier (KM)-estimated individual patient data (IPD), whereas random-effects meta-analyses were performed for remaining outcomes.
RESULTS: 2523 patients from four RCTs were included, of whom 1689 (66.9 %) received DPP-1 inhibitors. Compared with placebo, DPP-1 inhibitors prolonged the time to first exacerbation (HR 0.79; 95 % CI: 0.71 to 0.88) and increased the proportion of patients remaining exacerbation-free (RR 1.33; 95 % CI 1.12 to 1.58). A slower decline in post-bronchodilator % FEV1 was observed (MD 1.1 %; 95 % CI 0.05 to 2.15), but no difference in QoL-B scores (MD 1.35; 95 % CI -0.72 to 3.42). The safety profile of DPP-1 inhibitors was acceptable and comparable to placebo. Moderate certainty was found across endpoints.
CONCLUSIONS: DPP-1 inhibitors prolong time to first exacerbation and reduce exacerbation rates in patients with bronchiectasis, with an acceptable safety profile. These findings support their potential as a disease-modifying strategy.
