This invention provides a method for treating pulmonary disease in patients with cystic fibrosis, variant cystic fibrosis, and non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. The method involves administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of a lipoxin or lipoxin analogue to subjects with cystic fibrosis or related disease, in amounts sufficient to downregulate harmful neutrophilic airway inflammatory responses. |
