3 more inclusion criteria and the exclusion criteria are on the listing.

What it tests, as registered

Glycine; Magnesium+thiamine; Placebo

Registered summary

* Patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) have trouble with clearing their bronchi from mucus, which in the long-term may produce severe damage to the lungs. Currently, there is no specific treatment for PCD beyond supportive measures such as airway hydration and postural drainage. * Glycine is an amino acid with anti-inflammatory properties that proved to be beneficial in another disease with problematic airway clearance, cystic fibrosis. * Magnesium participates in many crucial chemical reactions, including some that might favor fluidification and mobilization of mucus.
