Lengthy, multidrug, toxic, and low-efficacy regimens limit management of pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial disease.
In this phase II study, we investigated the efficacy and safety of liposomal amikacin for inhalation (LAI) in treatment-refractory pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial (Mycobacterium avium complex [MAC] or Mycobacterium abscessus) disease.
During the double-blind phase, patients were randomly assigned to LAI (590 mg) or placebo once daily added to their multidrug regimen for 84 days. Both groups could receive open-label LAI for 84 additional days. The primary endpoint was change from baseline to Day 84 on a semiquantitative mycobacterial growth scale. Other endpoints included sputum conversion, 6-minute-walk distance, and adverse events.
The modified intention-to-treat population included 89 (LAI = 44; placebo = 45) patients. The average age of the sample was 59 years; 88% were female; 92% were white; and 80 and 59 patients completed study drug dosing during the double-blind and open-label phases, respectively. The primary endpoint was not achieved (P = 0.072); however, a greater proportion of the LAI group demonstrated at least one negative sputum culture (14 [32%] of 44 vs. 4 [9%] of 45; P = 0.006) and improvement in 6-minute-walk test (+20.6 m vs. -25.0 m; P = 0.017) at Day 84. A treatment effect was seen predominantly in patients without cystic fibrosis with MAC and was sustained 1 year after LAI. Most adverse events were respiratory, and in some patients it led to drug discontinuation.
Although the primary endpoint was not reached, LAI added to a multidrug regimen produced improvements in sputum conversion and 6-minute-walk distance versus placebo with limited systemic toxicity in patients with refractory MAC lung disease. Further research in this area is needed. Clinical trial registered with www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT01315236).
冗长、多药联用、有毒且低效的治疗方案限制了非结核分枝杆菌肺病的治疗。
在这项II期研究中,我们调查了吸入用脂质体阿米卡星(LAI)治疗难治性非结核分枝杆菌肺病(鸟分枝杆菌复合群[MAC]或脓肿分枝杆菌)的疗效和安全性。
在双盲阶段,患者被随机分配接受LAI(590毫克)或安慰剂,每日一次,加入其多药治疗方案,持续84天。两组均可再接受84天的开放标签LAI治疗。主要终点是从基线到第84天在半定量分枝杆菌生长量表上的变化。其他终点包括痰菌转阴、6分钟步行距离和不良事件。
改良意向性治疗人群包括89名患者(LAI组=44名;安慰剂组=45名)。样本的平均年龄为59岁;88%为女性;92%为白人;80名和59名患者分别在双盲阶段和开放标签阶段完成了研究药物给药。未达到主要终点(P=0.072);然而,在第84天,LAI组中更多患者的痰培养至少有一次转阴(44名患者中的14名[32%] vs. 45名患者中的4名[9%];P=0.006),且6分钟步行试验有所改善(+20.6米 vs. -25.0米;P=0.017)。治疗效果主要在无囊性纤维化的MAC患者中观察到,且在LAI治疗1年后仍持续存在。大多数不良事件为呼吸道事件,在一些患者中导致停药。
虽然未达到主要终点,但在难治性MAC肺病患者中,在多药治疗方案中加入LAI与安慰剂相比,在痰菌转阴和6分钟步行距离方面有所改善,且全身毒性有限。该领域需要进一步研究。临床试验已在www.clinicaltrials.gov注册(NCT01315236)。
