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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ€” not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Delpazolid (also called LCB01-0371)
What this could lead to
If successful, delpazolid could offer a new add-on option for people with hard-to-treat Mycobacterium abscessus lung infections, potentially improving bacterial clearance.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial (24 participants) with no placebo group, so results may not be definitive. The drug may cause side effects or fail to show meaningful benefit.
