About the Registry
Building Canada's most comprehensive bronchiectasis database
The Canadian Bronchiectasis and NTM Research Registry is a prospective observational study designed to collect comprehensive clinical data and quality of life assessments from patients with non-CF bronchiectasis and NTM infections.
Research Areas
Non-CF Bronchiectasis
A chronic lung condition characterized by permanently damaged and widened airways, leading to mucus buildup and recurrent infections.
What is Bronchiectasis ? →Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM)
Infections caused by environmental bacteria that commonly affect individuals with bronchiectasis.
Living with NTM →Research & Collaboration
Driving discoveries through collaboration
Our registry facilitates partnerships between academic institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and healthcare providers.
Clinical Trials
Two active clinical trials with multiple pharmaceutical companies approaching for partnership.
Learn More →Data Analysis
Comprehensive demographic and clinical parameter analysis, including hospitalization rates.
Learn More →Meet Our Team
Expert researchers and clinicians at the University of Calgary leading bronchiectasis research.
Learn More →Are you a healthcare provider?
Refer your patients with bronchiectasis or NTM to CanBE-NTM. Your referral helps build Canada's understanding of these conditions and connects patients to meaningful research.

Information & support
Access FAQs, study information, and—coming soon—patient education and clinical handouts.
Patient education & clinical handouts
We're developing plain-language guides for people living with bronchiectasis and NTM and handouts for care teams to use in practice. We'll add them here as they're ready.
