Our Goals for Today

Discuss with you the disease burden of NCFBE,
particularly as diagnosis is often delayed due to
unrecognition or misdiagnosis

Show you how to recognize and interpret CT features of
NCFBE to facilitate and ensure accurate diagnosis and
allow for treatment

— + Summarize unmet treatment needs for patients and how
novel and emerging therapies may address these gaps

What Is Bronchiectasis?

+ Achronic disease characterized
by permanently dilated, inflamed
airways

» Usually associated with a chronic,
daily, and productive cough

« Etymology: Greek,
bronchus + ektasis, stretching

Challenges and Unmet Needs in NCFBE

Lack of recognition + No FDA-approved therapies

Increasing prevalence + Suboptimal treatment of

P. aeruginosa

— No routine monitoring for
P. aeruginosa until patients
have frequent exacerbations

Absence of standardized
definitions/diagnosis
— Misdiagnosis due to similar

presentation as other Need for evidence-based

respiratory disorders
— Delayed diagnosis

interventions that reduce
exacerbation frequency
Lack of standardized referral path
— Underdiagnosis/treatment
— Lack of communication between

primary and specialty care

Exacerbations**

Definition of an exacerbation
— Aperson with bronchiectasis with a deterioration in 23 of the following key symptoms for
at least 48 hours
> Cough, sputum volume and/or consistency, sputum purulence, breathlessness
and/or exercise tolerance, fatigue and/or malaise, hemoptysis

— And

> A determination by a clinician that a change in bronchiectasis treatment is needed

Exacerbations are associated with increased airway and systemic inflammation, and
progressive disease

More severe exacerbations and those due to P. aeruginosa are associated with daily
symptoms, lung function decline, decreased QOL, and increase in 5-year mortality
50% of European patients with bronchiectasis have 22 exacerbations per year;
one-third require at least one hospitalization per year

Rationale for Novel Agents Targeting Inflammation

Urgent need for effective therapies to break the
vicious cycle of inflammation, lung damage, and
infection for patients with bronchiectasis

— Agents such as DPP-1 inhibitors—which
target neutrophil serine proteases—may block
inflammation and break the vicious cycle,
based on phase 2 data

Summary

NCFBE is characterized by a vicious cycle of infection,
inflammation, and injury that often results in progressive
symptoms, loss of lung function, decreased activities of daily
living, and decreased QOL

Diagnosis is often missed or delayed

Current management

— Improve airway clearance

— Treat and prevent exacerbations

Novel agents that target the underlying inflammation of
bronchiectasis offer potential new means of treatment and
for patients

Summary

Bronchiectasis is an irreversible dilation of bronchi bigger than
the accompanying artery

The dilated bronchus is described based on its morphology

The pattern of bronchiectasis helps us to limit the
differential diagnosis

Acquiring the proper type of CT scan is an important part of
patient diagnosis
