@an2 Good Morning and welcome to Mayo Connect. To protect our site from spammers and advertisers, new members are not able to post links and urls for a time after joining. But I looked this trial up and thought it might be of interest to some of our members whose MAC does not respond to the usual treatment with 3-4 antibiotics, or who are unable to take them.
- Here is the link to the information page:

MAC patients who are interested - the good news is that there a several centers across the country involved in the trial, making it accessible to many of us.

an2, can you tell us about your knowledge of/involvement in the study?
