First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding Chinese herbs to standard treatment can help people with a hard-to-treat lung infection called Mycobacterium abscessus. The herbs aim to clear the bacteria from sputum and prevent the infection from coming back. About 352 adults who have finished the first phase of treatment will take either herbal capsules or a placebo for several months.
