Challenges

  • Complexity of disease management: Managing the bronchiectasis therapeutic market is inherently challenging due to the heterogeneous nature and frequent coexistence with other respiratory conditions of this disease. Treatment often requires a multifaceted approach involving long-term antibiotics, airway clearance techniques, and management of exacerbations, which can be a burden for patients and healthcare systems. The lack of standardized treatment protocols and variability in disease severity complicate clinical decision-making, leading to inconsistent outcomes and difficulties in optimizing therapy across diverse patient populations.
  • Limited access to specialized therapies: Availability of bronchiectasis-targeted treatments is still an important hurdle, especially in underprivileged or rural communities where there may be limited access to specialist pulmonologists and high-end diagnostics. Moreover, treatment options, such as inhaled antibiotics and airway clearance devices, may be expensive. This limits the ability of patients to fully comply with the treatment regimen and to initiate treatment on time. As a result, the management of the condition is sub-optimal, increasing the chances of exacerbations and hospitalizations. Access to treatment for bronchiectasis patients is critical for improving long-term patient outcomes.
