Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Efficacy: Proportion of patients with sterilization of sputum culture in liquid medium 8 weeks after starting treatment Safety: Proportion of patients with grade 3 or higher adverse events according to CTCAE V5.

Efficacy: Proportion of patients with sterilization of sputum culture in liquid medium 8 weeks after starting treatment Safety: Proportion of patients with grade 3 or higher adverse events according to CTCAE V5.

Secondary Outcomes

  • To evaluate the tolerability of the experimental arm at 8 weeks after randomization. To evaluate the dynamics of efficacy of the experimental arm vs. control arm using the decrease in time until positive culture and time until sputum becomes negative.Analyze the correlation between the PK parameters To evaluate the quality of life of the patients. Carry out a cost-effectiveness study.To analyze the immunological and inflammatory pattern of the study participants
