Trial Overview

Purpose

Non tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections in the lung are almost impossible to eradicate with conventional antibiotics. These patients have few options to treat their lung infection. It has been shown that nitric oxide was safe to be inhaled for similar cystic fibrosis patients and reduced drug resistant bacteria in the lungs. Further, research indicates that clinical isolates of NTM can be eradicated by 160ppm NO exposure in the laboratory petri dish. This is not the first time inhaled NO treatment has been used in patients with NTM (case studies). This study will provide more data to see if NO therapy can reduce the NTM bacterial load in the lungs and help the patients breath better.

Comments

According to ClinicalTrials.gov, this study has been discontinued. Reason the study was stopped: Covid Incidence too low and Funding Completed.

Substudies/Extensions

COVID-19 Sub-study
Primary Endpoint:

Efficacy will be evaluated by measuring reduction in the incidence of mechanical assistance of BIPAP, CPAP, intubation and mechanical ventilation during the study period.

Secondary Endpoints:

Proportion of patients with mild COVID2019 who deteriorate to a severe form of the disease requiring mechanical intervention like BIPAP/CPAP, intubation and mechanical ventilation;
Mortality from all causes during the study period;
Negative conversion of COVID-19 RT-PCR from upper respiratory tract measured as the proportion of patients with a negative conversion of RT-PCR from an oropharyngeal or a nasopahryngeal swab;
Time to clinical recovery defined as the time from initiation of the study to discharge or to normalization of fever (defined as <36.6°C from axillary site, or < 37.2°C from oral site or < 37.8°C from rectal or tympanic site), respiratory rate (< 24 bpm while breathing room air);
Alleviation of symptoms recorded in the Modified Jackson Cols score with particular definition of cough (defined as mild or absent in a patient reported scale of severity).
