I also recieved a call from Boehringer and pre-registered. My home hospital University of Vermont is not listed as a trial site, but is listed as a “Center of Excellence” for BE. I go south (Florida) in the Winter months and get treatment at Mayo Jax, which is a trial site. I asked the question if I could participate and have a cooperative and coordinated effort from both hospitals depending on where I am at that time for monitoring/follow-up. The lady that registered me didn’t know the answer, but registered me anyway as I told her I possibly could fly to Jacksonville every 2-3 months for the required follow up appointment. I also let my Pulmonologist at Mayo Clinic know and he messaged me back and stated that he forwarded my name to the clinical trials team. 🤞🤞🤞. Does anyone know if this medication Artivity is the same or similar to Brensocatib?

My understanding is that Airtivity is a DPP1 inhibitor similar to brensocatib but with different mechanism of action. It's a ways out for trial completion, 2028. Sigh.

Sue,
Do you know if this study would be appropriate for someone with MAC?
Thanks,

I'm not sure - there are several trials in progress or ramping up, some accept people with MAC, some do not. The best way to find out is to sign up and have them contact you.

Looks like I won't qualify due to NTM. Well dang. Good luck to all participants.

But if you enroll you might be on the drug for the length of the trial. And probably after as well. That was the case for brensocatib. Even if you were on the placebo, you were giving me the option after completing the trial to go on the drug. I know someone in New Zealand, who was on the drug during the trial and then continued. For her, it was life-changing.
