A Prospective, Multicenter, Single-arm MAC-PD Cohort: a NTM-NET and ESGMYC Collaborative Study

Recruiting
Conditions
Mycobacterium Avium Complex Pulmonary Disease
Registration Number
NCT05906316
Lead Sponsor
Radboud University Medical Center
Brief Summary

To gain insight in the effectiveness of, adherence and adjustments to guideline-based three-drug antimycobacterial therapy in patients with Mycobacterium avium complex pulmonary disease (MAC-PD) during the first 6 months of treatment.

Detailed Description

Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) is the most frequent causative species that results in nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD). Current treatment outcomes for MAC-PD are unsatisfactory with sputum culture conversion rates between 50-70%.The high prevalence of drug toxicity and low adherence to guideline-based treatment (GBT) are key reasons for the limited treatment success. Hence, there is an unmet need for prospective data on effectiveness of, adherence and adjustments to MAC-PD treatment regimens. By collaborating with NTM-NET and ESGMYC affiliated medical centers, we enable systematic, prospective data collection of an international MAC-PD cohort.
