Target Audience and Goal Statement
Pulmonology, primary care, and radiology clinicians who manage patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE).
The goal of this activity is to raise awareness of the symptoms and burden of non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE),
as well as new treatment targets. Diagnostic delay leads to a cycle of frequent exacerbations during which the vicious vortex
of neutrophil-mediated inflammation and lung damage occurs. New research is providing insights on the pathophysiology of NCFBE,
including the role of neutrophilic inflammation and activation of neutrophil serine proteases (NSPs) by mediators, such as
dipeptidyl peptidase 1 (DPP-1). Novel treatment approaches for inhibiting DPP-1 in NCFBE offer the potential for improving
quality of life and preserving lung function.
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
- Identify the burden of non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE) and its exacerbations on patient quality of life
- Utilize clinical practice guidelines to facilitate early NCFBE recognition and diagnosis
- Assess the potential impact of targeting neutrophil serine protease (NSP) activation on the treatment of NCFBE
