NCT ID NCT06488495
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a 6-week exercise program can improve fitness and quality of life in people with nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD), a chronic lung infection. Researchers will enroll 50 adults aged 40-80 and randomly assign them to start exercise right away or wait 6 weeks. The main goal is to see if exercise increases oxygen uptake during exercise.
