About this study

Official title: Comparison Study of Unfavorable Treatment Outcome Between Mycobacterium Abscessus Infection in Patients With Chronic Lung Disease and Acquired Interferon-gamma Autoantibody Syndrome Within 1 Year of Appropriate Treatment

The treatment outcome of Mycobacterium abscessus infection in acquired interferon-gamma autoantibody syndrome has not been well studied. Investigators will perform a retrospective and prospective cohort study to determine the treatment outcome of Mycobacterium abscessus infection in patients with acquired interferon-gamma autoantibody syndrome compared with the infection in patients with chronic lung disease which is known to be the most common group of infection and have high rates of treatment failure. Investigators hypothesized that Mycobacterium abscessus infection in acquired interferon-gamma autoantibody syndrome has better outcome than infection in chronic lung disease.

Read the detailed description

The single center, retrospective and prospective cohort study including the patients, aged 18 years and over, with acquired interferon-gamma autoantibody syndrome or chronic lung disease diagnosed with M. abscessus infection in the tertiary hospital of Thailand from January 2014 to June 2023 will be perform. The enrolled M. abscessus infected patients will be divided into two groups which are acquired interferon-gamma autoantibody syndrome group and chronic lung disease group. The subjects' medical record will be reviewed for demographic data, underlying diseases, clinical signs and symptoms, laboratory and radiological investigation results, diagnosis, treatment that the patients received, clinical events during the treatment. The treatment outcome will be determined as unfavorable or favorable by present or absent of unfavorable events, settled by the investigators, within 1 years after the treatment. The treatment outcome and other secondary outcomes between the two groups will then be compared and analysed with chi-squared test for categorical variables and two-sample t-test for continuous variables.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Appropriate treatmentDrug

    Treatment with at least 3 antibiotics, which the pathogen is susceptible to based on in vitro drug susceptibility test, in the initial phase of the treatment

Study groups in NCT05354583
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Acquired Interferon-gamma Autoantibody SyndromePatients infected with M. abscessus at any site, who have acquired interferon-gamma autoantibody syndrome defined as one of the following features: 1. The M. abscessus infection site is lymph node. 2. The M. abscessus infection is disseminated (more than 1 organ of infection or blood culture positive for M. abscessus). 3. The M. abscessus infection is accompanied by one of reactive skin diseases which are Sweet's syndrome, pustular psoriasis, erythema nodosum. 4. History of opportunistic infection such as salmonellosis, penicillosis, histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, melioidosis The patients must not be infected with HIV, in-hospital M. abscessus infection, diagnosed with cancer, or receiving immunosuppressants.
Receives: Drug: Appropriate treatment
Chronic Lung DiseasePatients with one of chronic lung diseases which are COPD, chronic bronchiectasis, history of pulmonary tuberculosis and diagnosed with Pulmonary M. abscessus infection. Pulmonary M. abscessus infection diagnosis must be met all of the following criteria: 1. Symptoms and signs are correlated with the pulmonary M. abscessus infection. 2. One of the radiological evidences: 2.1) nodular infiltration or cavitary lesion on plain chest radiography 2.2) bronchiectasis and multiple small nodules on chest computerized tomography 3. Mycobacterial culture from respiratory tract specimen is positive for M. abscessus
Receives: Drug: Appropriate treatment

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of Unfavorable Treatment Outcome

    The occurring of any unfavorable events including

    1. Clinical unfavorable events which are 1.1) death relating to M. abscessus infection 1.2) ongoing or worsening of symptoms or signs of infection after 6 weeks of treatment 1.3) addition new class or changing class of antibiotics during treatment (not included changing antibiotics according to in vitro susceptibility test)
    2. Radiological unfavorable event which is stable or worsen radiological features related to M. abscessus infection after 6 weeks of treatment
    3. Microbiological unfavorable events which are 3.1) Acid fast bacilli positive from clinical specimen after 6 weeks of treatment 3.2) Mycobacterial culture positive for M. abscessus after 6 weeks of treatment

    Measured: The start of appropriate treatment to one year after that

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Demographic data

    Age, sex, nationality, religion, occupation, birth place, current residence

    Measured: At the time that M. abscessus infection is diagnosed through study completion, about one year

  2. Proportion of Subspecies of Mycobacterium abscessus

    Subspecies from the first mycobacterial culture result including subsp. abscessus, massiliense, and boletii

    Measured: At the time that M. abscessus infection is diagnosed through study completion, about one year

  3. Drug resistance rate of Mycobacterium abscessus

    Rate of resistance to each class of antibiotics acquired from the first in vitro susceptibility test that is done as resisted, susceptible, or intermediate

    Measured: At the time that M. abscessus infection is diagnosed through study completion, about one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mycobacterium Abscessus Infection and Adult-Onset Immunodeficiency With Acquired Anti-Interferon-Gamma Autoantibodies, run by King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Thailand.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 10 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Thailand. 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.

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?

Proportion of Unfavorable Treatment Outcome (time frame: The start of appropriate treatment to one year after that). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 10 Oct 2023.
