About This Mycobacterium Abscessus Infection Study in Portland

This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter, prospective, investigator-initiated trial will evaluate epetraborole (EBO) monotherapy in the treatment of adults with Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABc) Lung Disease (LD) of mild to moderate severity. For this study, two EBO oral dose regimens will be studied in patients with MABc-LD, each compared to a placebo group (ie, 4 treatment groups): 500 mg daily and 750 mg daily. Detailed inclusion and exclusion criteria attempt to identify only those patients who have acceptable risks based upon the EBO preclinical findings, phase 1, phase 2, and Phase 3 experience; standard-of-care procedures; and the specified procedures of the study. Following receipt of informed consent, and a Screening period, eligible patients will be randomized to one of the 4 treatment groups to receive active or matched placebo EBO tablets for 84 days. Patients will be assessed for clinical and microbiological evidence of efficacy. At selected investigative sites, patients will undergo sparse PK sampling. Safety and tolerability will be determined by standard clinical and laboratory assessment, with oversight by a qualified and appropriately constituted Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB). Data collected during the study will be analyzed per a comprehensive Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP). The study will be registered on clinicaltrials.gov. The total duration of patient participation is approximately 6 months.

Who Can Participate

Inclusion Criteria

Male or female patients who are 18 years of age or older.

Willing and able to provide written informed consent.

Patients with MABc lung disease, meeting the following (a) Microbiological, (b) Clinical, (c) Radiographic a. Microbiological criteria: i. Documentation of at least 1 Pre-Study MABc-positive respiratory specimen (sputum or deep bronchial specimen) collected per standard of care within 6 months prior to signing the consent form. ii. At least 1 Screening MABc-positive expectorated or induced sputum sample. b. Clinical criteria: At least 2 of the following patient-reported clinical symptoms: i. Chest pain ii. Chronic cough iii. Coughing up blood iv. Fatigue v. Fever (documented by thermometer) vi. Mucus (sputum) production vii. Night sweats (drenching perspiration with no other obvious etiology, e.g. perimenopausal) viii. Poor appetite ix. Shortness of breath x. Weight loss (unintentional, more than 5% of usual weight in 6 to 12 months) c. Radiographic criteria: Non-contrast chest CT scan within 4 months prior to signing the ICF (Pre-Study chest CT) or within the Screening Period (Screening chest CT) with abnormalities consistent with MABc-LD based on local interpretation (e.g. Investigator or local radiologist).

Patients who, in the opinion of the investigator, will not require initiation of guideline-directed antibiotic therapy for treatment of MABc-LD within the next 6 months, and for whom a delay, in order for the subject to participate in a placebo-controlled clinical trial, is considered both reasonable and clinically acceptable.

Patients who are willing to comply with all the study activities and procedures throughout the duration of the study.

Patients must agree to use an effective method of birth control, if applicable, as follows: Females of childbearing potential (FOCPs; defined in Appendix 1, Contraception Requirements) must commit to either sexual abstinence or use of at least 2 medically accepted, effective methods of birth control (defined in Contraception Requirements) from Screening through the EOS Visit

Males who are sexually active with a FOCP must agree to use an effective barrier method of contraception (defined in Contraception Requirements) from Screening through the EOS Visit

Patients expected to survive with continued antimycobacterial therapy and appropriate supportive care from Screening through the LFU Visit, in the judgment of the Investigator.

Exclusion Criteria

Patients with a presence of any suspected or confirmed disease or condition at Screening or the time of randomization that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may confound the assessment of symptom-based clinical response, including, but not limited to, the following:

Radiographic presence of cavitary disease (defined as a patient with one or more cavities \>2 cm internal diameter)

Cystic fibrosis or other inherited disorders of airway ciliary dysfunction (e.g., primary ciliary dyskinesia)

Active allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis

Anticipated or planned lung surgery for treatment of MABc lung disease

Disseminated MABc infection, or other known or suspected non-pulmonary source of infection (e.g., infective endocarditis, osteomyelitis, meningitis, or urinary tract infection) requiring non-study antimicrobial therapy

Concomitant pulmonary infection requiring antimicrobial therapy, including infection caused by fungi, viruses, non-MABc mycobacteria (e.g., Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium avium intracellulare, Mycobacterium avium complex, Mycobacterium kansasii), or other bacteria (e.g., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus). Note: Patients with MABc lung disease and concomitant non-MABc lung infection requiring antimicrobial therapy must complete the antimicrobial treatment for the non-MABc infection prior to randomization. Patients with respiratory specimen cultures that contain growth of non-MABc organisms that are deemed by the Investigator to be respiratory tract colonizers and who do not require or receive specific antimicrobial therapy may remain eligible. The Investigator should discuss such cases with the Study Investigator prior to randomization and provide rationale for study eligibility in the source document.

Patients on brensocatib who have not been on a stable dose for at least 12 weeks.

Patients with active pulmonary malignancy (primary or metastatic) or any malignancy that required or would require chemotherapy or radiation therapy within 1 year prior to randomization through the LFU Visit.

Patients with creatinine clearance (CrCl) of \<30 mL/min, as estimated by the Cockcroft-Gault formula, at Screening: Estimated CrCl (mL/min) = (140 - Age \[years\]) × Actual Body Weight \[kg\] × \[0.85 if Female\]) / (72 × Serum Creatinine \[mg/dL\]).

Patients with any of the following hematological findings:

Hemoglobin \<11.0 g/dL or \<6.83 mmol/L.

Donation of blood or plasma within 28 days prior to randomization; or symptomatic loss of blood or hemorrhage within 28 days prior to randomization.

Pre-existing (inborn or acquired) disorder of hematopoiesis that could substantially worsen the effect of EBO on hemoglobin levels or potentially prevent hemoglobin recovery post cessation of treatment, for example, thalassemia, sickle cell disease, hemolytic anemia, Inherited bone marrow failure syndromes, myelodysplastic or myeloproliferative disorders, bone marrow transplantation

Patients with severe hemoptysis within 28 days prior to randomization, defined as \>100 mL (approximately \>7 tbsp blood) over any 24-hour period.

Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Patients with a mean QT interval corrected using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) \>500 msec based 12-lead ECG at Screening.

Patients with an immunodeficiency or an immunocompromised condition and risk for an opportunistic pulmonary infection, including:

History of lung transplantation

Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection plus either an active acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-defining illness in the past 12 months, or a known cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) count \<200/mm3 within the past 12 months

Neutropenia at Screening (absolute neutrophil count \<1,000 neutrophils/mm3)
