  9. Change From Baseline in Global Score and Individual Domain Scores of the SGRQ - Total Score

    The SGRQ is a disease-specific, 50-item instrument designed to measure the impact of obstructive airways disease on overall health, daily life, and perceived well-being in participants. It consists of three domains: Symptoms (distress from respiratory symptoms), Activity (limitations in mobility and physical activity), and Impacts (effects on employment, self-management, and medication needs). Scores range from 0 (no impairment) to 100 (maximum impairment) for each domain. The SGRQ Total Score is calculated by dividing the total score values of all positive responses across all domains in the questionnaire by the maximum possible total score that a participant could have achieved, and then multiplying the result by 100. Higher scores indicate worse health status

    Measured: Day 1 (Baseline) to Day 84/EOT

  10. Change From Baseline in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Short Form v1.0 - Fatigue 7a Daily (PROMIS-7a) Score

    The PROMIS Fatigue is a self-administered questionnaire that assesses fatigue and its impact on physical, mental, and social activities. The fatigue short form is universal rather than disease-specific and assesses fatigue over the past 7 days. Participants respond to each of the 7 items using a 5-point Likert scale (e.g., "Not at all" to "Very much") and item responses are summed to produce a raw total score. Raw scores are converted to T-scores using standardized PROMIS scoring tables. The average change in PROMIS Fatigue T-scores was calculated for each study arm. The PROMIS Fatigue T-score is a standardized score (mean = 50, SD = 10) where higher scores indicate greater fatigue severity. A negative change from baseline (i.e., lower T-scores over time) indicates improvement in fatigue symptoms, whereas a positive change (i.e., higher T-scores) indicates worsening of fatigue.

    Measured: Day 1 (Baseline) to Day 84/EOT

  11. Number of Participants With Improvement in Patient Clinical Impression of Change (PGI-C)

    The PGI-C is a self-administered, single question assessed using a 7-point scale that measures a participant's perceived change in clinical status and overall improvement. Participants with improvement includes: Very much improved, much improved, minimally improved; participants without improvement include: no change, minimally worse, much worse, very much worse.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 84/EOT

  12. Number of Participants Reporting "Not Present or Mild Severity" in Patient Clinical Impression of Severity (PGI-S)

    The PGI-S is a self-administered, single question assessed using a 7-point scale that measures a participant's perception of disease severity. Participants with severity Not present or Mild include: not present, very mild, mild; Participants with severity Moderate or Severe include: moderate, moderately severe, severe, extremely severe.

    Measured: Day 84/EOT

  13. Number of Participants With Clinical Global Impression - Severity of Illness (CGI-S)

    The CGI-S is administered by an experienced clinician who is familiar with the disease under study. The CGI-S is a 1-item observer-rated scale that rates illness severity based upon observed and reported symptoms, behavior, and function over the past seven days.

    Measured: Day 84/EOT

  14. Number of Participants With Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I)

    The CGI-I is a single-item, observer-rated measure using a 7-point scale to assess overall improvement in a participant's condition due to drug treatment. Participants with improvement includes: very much improved, much improved, minimally improved; participants without improvement include: no change, minimally worse, much worse, very much worse.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 84/EOT

  15. Number of Participants With New Symptoms With a Severity Worse Than Mild on the NTM Symptom Assessment Questionnaire at Any Time Post-baseline

    The NTM symptom assessment questionnaire is a self-administered tool which assesses 12 common NTM symptoms on a 4-point scale (absent, mild, moderate, severe), reflecting the participant's overall impression over the past week. The questionnaire is completed solely by the participant, without any interpretation from clinicians or site staff.

    Measured: Day 1 through Day 84 (at any study timepoint)

  16. Number of Participants With Decreased Semi-Quantitative Score of Mycobacterial Sputum Culture From Day 1 to Day 84

    Semi-quantitative score is derived based on growth in liquid medium, growth on agar plate, and colony count on agar plate; the score ranges from 0 to 6. A reduction in the semi-quantitative score reflects a decrease in the quantitative mycobacterial load.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 84

  17. Time to Growth in Liquid Medium Only

    Time to growth in liquid medium only is defined as the number of days from the date of study drug administration to the date of the first assessment where growth is detected in liquid medium only. The analysis was based on Kaplan Meier Estimation for Growth in Liquid Medium Only (Day). If there is no culture result indicating growth in liquid medium only and the culture plates are negative, the date of the first negative culture is used for determination of time to growth in liquid medium only.

    Measured: Day 1 through Day 84 (at any study timepoint)

  18. Time to First Negative Sputum Culture

    Time to first negative sputum culture is defined as the number of days from the date of study drug administration to the date of the first negative sputum culture. The analysis was based on Kaplan Meier Estimation for Negative Sputum Culture (Day).

    Measured: Day 1 through Day 84 (at any study timepoint)
