Active clinical trials for "Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare Infection"

Antimycobacterial treatment of M. avium complex pulmonary disease (MAC-PD) has suboptimal cure rates and is challenging due to frequent adverse drug reactions and drug-drug interactions. Hence, there is an urgent need for improved treatment regimens with effective and tolerable antibiotics. Minocycline is a well-tolerated, orally administered tetracycline-type antibiotic with in vitro activity against MAC, but pharmacokinetic data in the target population is lacking. Moreover, rifampicin, a strong inducer of cytochrome P450 enzymes involved in drug metabolism and of various drug transporters, is part of the current first-line MAC-PD treatment regimen and has a substantial interaction with doxycycline, a related tetracycline. Pharmacokinetic data in the target population will allow us to propose an appropriate dose of minocycline when co-administered with or without rifampicin Mino-PK is an open label, one-arm, two-period, fixed-order pharmacokinetic study that will assess exposure to minocycline in MAC-PD patients with and without concurrent use of rifampicin. Subjects will receive two 5-day dosing periods of minocycline; the first without and second with concurrent use of rifampicin. Minocycline plasma concentrations will be determined after both dosing periods.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of clofazimine when used to treat Mycobacteria avium complex (MAC) lung disease. Funding Source - FDA OOPD

To assess the early bactericidal activity of Azithromycin 250mg by mouth daily over the first 14 days of treatment for Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) lung disease.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of bedaquiline (BDQ) compared with rifamycin when administered as part of a treatment regimen with clarithromycin (CAM) and ethambutol (EB) in adult participants with treatment-refractory Mycobacterium avium complex-lung disease (MAC-LD) at Week 24 for microbiological assessment in mycobacteria growth indicator tube (MGIT).

This is a pivotal Phase 2/3, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of epetraborole + OBR (Optimized Background Regimen) versus placebo + OBR in patients with treatment-refractory MAC lung disease. This study will enroll adult patients with treatment-refractory MAC lung disease who meet all eligibility criteria (including clinical, radiographic, and microbiological criteria).

The purpose of the study is to evaluate The microbiological response and clinical efficacy of SPR720 compared with placebo in participants with nontuberculous mycobacteria pulmonary disease (NTM-PD). The safety and tolerability of SPR720 in a participants population with NTM- PD The pharmacokinetic (PK) of SPR719, active moiety, following orally (po) administered prodrug SPR720 in a participant population with NTM-PD.

The SALINE trial will investigate the effect of Hypertonic Saline inhalation plus best supportive care on burden of symptoms, clearance of mycobacteria and functional capacities in participants with Mycobacterium avium complex lung disease and compare the effect to treatment with best supportive care alone.

MAC lung infections are a growing public health problem. The ATS / IDSA 2007 guidelines for the treatment of these non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections recommend the use of a macrolide or azalide (clarithromycin or azithromycin), rifampicin or rifabutin and ethambutol. For MAC disseminated infections, several studies have compared combinations containing clarithromycin or azithromycin and found no significant difference in efficacy. No randomized controlled trials have been performed for pulmonary infections to compare clarithromycin and azithromycin in terms of efficacy. Clarithromycin is often used as a first-line treatment in France, but its tolerance is often poor, particularly in terms of risk of hepatitis, metallic taste in the mouth, nausea or vomiting, and it interacts with many drugs via cytochrome p450 . In particular, it increases the toxicity of rifabutin, in particular in terms of uveitis. Azithromycin has fewer side effects especially less digestive toxicity and drug interactions than clarithromycin. The hypothesis is therefore that the efficacy of azithromycin would be non-inferior in comparison with that of clarithromycin.

NTM therapy consists of a multi-drug macrolide based regimen for 18-24 months. Treated patients frequently experience debilitating side effects, and many patients delay the start of antibiotic treatment due to these risks. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and fatigue, and rare but serious toxicities include ocular toxicity, hearing loss, and hematologic toxicity. To date, most of the evidence underlying the current treatment recommendations has come from observational studies in which either a macrolide has been combined with rifampin and ethambutol, or in some cases combined with ethambutol alone. The proposed study will answer whether a third drug is necessary or whether taking two drugs can increase tolerability without a substantial loss of efficacy.

A 2-part multi-center, Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RHB-204 in adult subjects with underlying nodular bronchiectasis and documented MAC lung infection.
