About this study

Official title: An Open-label Study of Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Liposomal Amikacin for Inhalation (LAI) Once Daily in Addition to Standard Multi-antibiotic Therapy in the Treatment of Mycobacterium Abscessus Lung Disease

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.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label study of efficacy, safety and tolerability of once daily dosing of Liposomal-Amikacin for Inhalation (LAI), in addition to a standard multi-drug antibiotic therapy in accordance with the 2007 ATS/ IDSA guidelines, in patients with Mycobacterium abscessus lung disease. The multi-drug therapy is determined at the discretion of the Investigator. After screening, all eligible patients will enter the trial and will receive LAI 590 mg once daily for 12 months. If deemed necessary by the investigator, dose may be adjusted from a minimum of three times per week up to daily, in cases of adverse events relating to tolerability.

All patients who enter the study will have subsequent study visits at Months 1,2,4,6,9, at End-of-Study or Month 12, and at 1 and 3 months post study drug discontinuation. At each visit (including screening), review of concomitant medications, review of adverse events, and physical exam, will be performed. Chest CT scan will be performed at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months, unless a chest CT scan has already been performed within 6 months on this time point. The 6 minute walk test and QOL-B-NTM will be performed at baseline, 6 months, 12 months, and 3 months post study drug discontinuation. All patients will have inducted sputum collected at each study visit, and patients will self-collect expectorated sputum during intervening monthly time-points until study completion to determine changes in mycobacterial smear and culture status.

Unscheduled visits will occur as needed should subjects' symptoms worsen between visits.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change from Baseline sputum culture at 12 months

    Measured: Sputum examined for culture change from Baseline at 12 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change from Baseline 6-minute Walk Test at 6 months

    Measured: 6-minute Walk Test results examined for change from Baseline at 6 months

  2. Change from Baseline 6-minute Walk Test at 12 months

    Measured: 6-minute Walk Test results examined for change from Baseline at 12 months

  3. Change from End of Treatment (EOT) sputum culture at 3 months post EOT

    Measured: Sputum examined for culture change from EOT at 3 months post EOT

  4. Number of Hospitalizations for pulmonary exacerbations

    Measured: Number of Hospitalizations for pulmonary exacerbations that occur between Baseline and 12 months

  5. Number of Adverse Events

    Measured: Number of Patient-reported and Investigator-reported Adverse Events at 12 months

  6. Number of subjects discontinuing study drug due to Adverse Event

    Measured: Number of subjects who discontinue study drug before 12 months due to Adverse Event will be examined at 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing LAI plus multi-drug regimen in people with Mycobacterium Infections, Nontuberculous and Mycobacteria, Atypical, run by Kevin Winthrop at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from Baseline sputum culture at 12 months (time frame: Sputum examined for culture change from Baseline at 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03038178, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Mar 2020.
