12 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of SPR719, the active moiety, generated from the orally (po) administered SPR720 prodrug in a patient population with nontuberculous mycobacteria pulmonary disease (NTM-PD)
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 this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of oral omadacycline as compared to placebo in the treatment of adults with Nontuberculous Mycobacterial (NTM) pulmonary disease caused by Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABc)
Healthy volunteers and patients with diseases that involve problems clearing mucus from the lungs will be examined and tested to better understand the reasons for recurring lung infections in these patients and to try to develop better ways to diagnose and treat them. The study will also try to identify the genes responsible for these diseases. Healthy volunteers 18 years of age and older and patients 2 years of age or older with suspected primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), variant cystic fibrosis (CF) or pseudohypoaldosteronism (PHA) may be eligible for this study. Patients enrolled in the Natural History Study of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria at NIH or other NIH natural history protocols may also be enrolled. Participants undergo the following tests and procedures during a 1-day visit at the NIH Clinical Center, as follows: All patients and normal volunteers have the following procedures: * Physical examination and review of medical and genetic history and family genetic history. * Lung function test and measurement of oxygen saturation level. * Nitric oxide measurement to measure the amount of nitric oxide production in the nose: A small tube is placed in the nose while the subject breathes through the mouth into a cardboard tube. All patients have the following additional procedures: * Blood tests for liver and kidney function, blood count, immunoglobulins and pregnancy test (where appropriate). * Blood test or buccal scrape (brushing the inside of the cheek) to obtain DNA to look for gene mutations that cause PCD, CF or PHA. * Scrape biopsy of cell lining the inside of the nose: A small toothpick-sized plastic stick with a tiny cup on the end is used to get nasal lining cells to look at the cilia (hair-like structures that move mucus). * Semen analysis (in some men) to test sperm tail function or structure. Patients suspected of having a variant of CF or PHA, including nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease, have the following additional procedures: * Sweat chloride test: A medicine is placed on the arm to produce sweat; then, a very low level of electric current is applied for 5 to 12 minutes. Sweat is collected in a plastic tube and tested for salt content. * Blood draw for CF genetic testing, if necessary, and to measure levels of the enzyme trypsin. * Saliva collection to measure sodium and chloride content. * Nasal potential difference to measure the electrical activity of the cells lining the inside of the nose: A soft plastic tube filled with a salt solution is passed into the nasal passage and a sterile needle is placed under the skin of the arm. This test provides information about how the lining of the nose is able to get used to changes in temperature and humidity. (Normal volunteers also have this test.)
This clinical trial is designed to compare the efficacy and safety of Clofazimine Inhalation Suspension versus placebo when added to guideline-based therapy (GBT)
The MAC-HS study is a testing whether hypertonic saline helps improve symptoms and clearance of mycobacteria in patients with M. avium complex lung infections.
A biomarker cohort study design is proposed to study whether specific airway microbiota alterations are associated with pulmonary Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) disease. In a cohort of 200 subjects suspected of having pulmonary NTM disease, the investigators will evaluate the airway microbiome using an aliquot of the induced sputum and upper airway samples. Since induced sputum may reflect different regions of the upper/lower airways, the investigators will evaluate the upper and lower airway microbiome in a subgroup (case-control group) of patients using samples obtained through upper airway sampling and bronchoscopy, respectively.
About 10 people with cystic fibrosis (CF) and persistent Nontuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM) infection despite treatment will be screened to find out if their NTM infection has at least one mycobacteriophage that is effective in killing the mycobacteria. Individuals who are found to have at least one phage will be offered assistance in pursuing FDA approval for treatment via expanded-access Individual New Drug (IND) for compassionate-use. They will receive phage treatment for 1 year along with their guideline-based antibiotics for NTM. Individuals who are not identified as having a phage match will be followed as they continue to receive guideline based antibiotic therapy for 1 year. All subjects, including those who do not have a phage match will continue to be observed for the duration of the study, or about 1 year.
The proposed study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of once daily dosing of Liposomal-Amikacin for Inhalation (LAI) 590 mg for 12 months plus standard of care (SOC) mycobacterial multi-drug regimen in accordance with the 2007 ATS/ IDSA guidelines, for treatment of mycobacterium abscessus lung disease.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate 1. The microbiological response and clinical efficacy of SPR720 compared with placebo in participants with nontuberculous mycobacteria pulmonary disease (NTM-PD). 2. The safety and tolerability of SPR720 in a participants population with NTM- PD 3. The pharmacokinetic (PK) of SPR719, active moiety, following orally (po) administered prodrug SPR720 in a participant population with NTM-PD.
A prospective, single-center, single-blinded study involving patients with refractory nontuberculous mycobacteria lung disease to ascertain pharmacokinetics, safety, efficacy, and tolerability of two dose levels of parenteral administration of recombinant Interleukin-7 (IL-7) (CYT107).
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.
