This pilot study is testing whether the antifungal drug itraconazole is feasible and safe for people with bronchiectasis who have mold growing in their airways.

Itraconazole (an antifungal medication taken by mouth)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for bronchiectasis patients with mold in their airways, potentially improving symptoms and quality of life.
