U.S., Sept. 26 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07192705) titled 'Health Impact of Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria Pulmonary Disease (NTM-PD)' on Aug. 11.
Brief Summary: Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are environmental organisms found in soil and water. The majority do not cause human disease. When they do, this is mostly as a chronic lung infection in people with long-term lung problems such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchiectasis, or cystic fibrosis. The number of people with NTM pulmonary disease (PD) is increasing, and its management can be complex, requiring prolonged treatment with multiple, often toxic, drugs in someone who may already be frail.
