PROGRAM OVERVIEW
This educational activity will utilize audience response and game-playing technology to improve clinicians’ understanding of the pathophysiology of non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB) so they can personalize patient treatments based on a therapy’s mechanism of action; diagnose NCFB earlier in the disease course; manage NCFB based on current clinical guidelines; and expand their knowledge of the safety and efficacy of approved and investigational drugs for this disease.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After completing the CME activity, learners should be better able to:
- Analyze factors contributing to the pathophysiology of non-CF bronchiectasis to better understand the mechanism of action of emerging therapies that target neutrophil serine proteases
- Evaluate best practices in the diagnosis of non-CF bronchiectasis
- Summarize best practices in managing neutrophilic inflammation in non-CF bronchiectasis
- Discuss the results of clinical trials on approved and novel therapies for non-CF bronchiectasis that target neutrophil serine proteases
TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of US-based health care providers, clinicians, and researchers who have a role in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with non-CF bronchiectasis who work in pulmonology, respiratory, and primary care.
