Phage Therapy ( alternative of antibiotics) for MAC lung infection

Do you have more info about Phage therapy. I’ve had a terrible time taking Ethambutol and Rifampin and was told to stop taking azithromycin. I’m concerned about what else is available for treatment for MAC. I’m hoping to be eligible for Arikayce but it’s very expensive. I’m discouraged and hope there is something that will help with my lung infection. .Thanks

That is an old post. I am really not up to date on Phage trials going on in USA for MAC. Did you try using AI to research any trials going on? I did a quick search and got this:
ICH GCP
US Clinical Trials Registry
Clinical Trial NCT07076238
Study on Bacteriophage Therapy for Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Lung Disease
October 28, 2025 updated by: NYU Langone Health

@yayoek There is an assistance fund for Arikayce where it costs very little to eligible patients. I will look later today for the phone number. Irene5
