Did you know that a brand new treatment for bronchiectasis – the first ever treatment developed specifically for this condition – could be available within the next few years?

ALT A new treatment has been found for bronchiectasis. Helen, living with the condition, said 'it took 30 years to get a diagnosis and understand what was happening to me." Professor James Chalmers said, 'Brensocatib would be the first treatment in it's class - it could offer a completely new approach...heralding a new era for bronchiectasis.'

We did it! The first approved medication for bronchiectasis
Brensocatib approved by the FDA in the United States. A great day for patients and the scientific community that made this happen. Thank you Insmed, all investigators and participants
