Arikayce was still in Phase3 trials when I was treated. I stopped daily 3 antibiotic regimen in 2019 due to the side effects (I was still testing positive) and have relied on airway clearance, exercise and monitoring for 58 months. My latest CT this week showed stable bronchiectasis and no evidence of infection. I have been unable to provide a good sputum specimen, but it will be tested as soon as I can.
I believe my experience is a testament to the effective 7% saline and airway clearance.
