Special Investigation of Clarith/Klaricid in Patients With Non-tuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Infections

Completed
Conditions
Mycobacterium Infections, Atypical
Registration Number
NCT01097005
Lead Sponsor
Mylan Inc.
Brief Summary

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of long-term treatment with clarithromycin in patients with Non-tuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Infections.

Detailed Description

Background: The revised 2007 American Thoracic Society/Infectious Diseases Society of America guidelines recommend a clarithromycin-based combination therapy for treatment of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) lung disease and stipulate approximately 1 year of continuous treatment after bacilli negative conversion. However, supporting data are insufficient.

Objectives: To obtain data on the clinical outcome of clarithromycin-based regimens by conducting a nationwide prospective study mainly of MAC lung disease.

Methods: In accordance with the guidelines, patients were enrolled in this survey according to their chest radiographic findings and microbiologic test results. They were treated with a multi-drug regimen including clarithromycin, rifampicin, and ethambutol (clarithromycin -based regimen) until bacilli negative conversion on continual treatment for 1 year. Data were collected "pre-administration," "on the bacilli negative conversion," and "at 6 months after the end of treatment."

Bacteriological Relapse Related to Duration of Clarithromycin Administration36 months

Number of patients who have bacteriological relapse related to duration of Clarithromycin (CLR) administration after initial negative conversion
