NCT ID NCT06004037
First seen Jul 10, 2026 ยท Last updated Jul 10, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding delpazolid to standard treatment can reduce bacterial levels in people with hard-to-treat Mycobacterium abscessus lung infections. Participants take delpazolid tablets daily for 12 weeks, with the option to continue up to one year if there is clinical benefit. The trial enrolls adults whose infection persists despite at least six months of guideline-based therapy.
