RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Drug susceptibility testing (DST) protocol of omadacycline against non-tuberculous mycobacteria has not yet been established. We developed a method to accurately determine MIC omadacycline MIC against Mycobacterium abscessus (Mab), Mycobacterium avium-complex (MAC), and Mycobacterium kansasii (Mkn). METHODS: First, we identified the oxyrase concentration not affecting Mab, MAC, and Mkn growth followed by omadacycline MIC experiments with and without oxyrase using reference and clinical strains. RESULTS: Oxyrase 0.5 % (v/v) stabilized omadacycline in the culture medium. The median omadacycline MIC was 1 mg/L for Mab and 8 mg/L for Mkn. For MAC, the median omadacycline MIC was 2 mg/L for M. avium, 256 mg/L for M. intracellulare, and 4 mg/L for M. chimaera (p < 0.0001). Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test revealed statistically lower MICs with oxyrase for all MAC subspecies (p < 0.0001), all Mab subspecies (p < 0.0001), and Mkn (p = 0.0002). The decrease in MICs with oxyrase was 17/18 of Mab, 14/19 of Mkn, 8/8 of M. avium, 4/5 M. chimera, but only 11/18 of M. intracellulare (p < 0.013). CONCLUSION: Use of 0.5 % oxyrase could be a potential solution to reliable and reproducible omadacycline MIC of Mab. However, oxyrase demonstrated a variable effect in reducing MICs against MAC and Mkn.

Formerly regarded as a rare disease, bronchiectasis is increasingly recognised. A renewed interest in this disease has led to significant progress in bronchiectasis research. Randomised clinical trials (RCTs) have demonstrated the benefits of airway clearance techniques, inhaled antibiotics and long-term macrolide therapy in bronchiectasis patients. However, the heterogeneity of bronchiectasis remains one of the most challenging aspects of management. Phenotypes and endotypes of bronchiectasis have been identified to help find "treatable traits" and partially overcome disease complexity. The goals of therapy for bronchiectasis are to reduce the symptom burden, improve quality of life, reduce exacerbations and prevent disease progression. We review the pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments that can improve mucociliary clearance, reduce airway inflammation and tackle airway infection, the key pathophysiological features of bronchiectasis. There are also promising treatments in development for the management of bronchiectasis, including novel anti-inflammatory therapies. This review provides a critical update on the management of bronchiectasis focusing on treatable traits and recent RCTs.

Rationale: Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are prevalent among patients with bronchiectasis. However, the long-term natural history of patients with NTM and bronchiectasis is not well described. Objectives: To assess the impact of NTM on 5-year clinical outcomes and mortality in patients with bronchiectasis. Methods: Patients in the Bronchiectasis and NTM Research Registry with ⩾5 years of follow-up were eligible. Data were collected for all-cause mortality, lung function, exacerbations, hospitalizations, and disease severity. Outcomes were compared between patients with and without NTM at baseline. Mortality was assessed using Cox proportional hazards models and the log-rank test. Measurements and Main Results: In total, 2,634 patients were included: 1,549 (58.8%) with and 1,085 (41.2%) without NTM at baseline. All-cause mortality (95% confidence interval) at Year 5 was 12.1% (10.5%, 13.7%) overall, 12.6% (10.5%, 14.8%) in patients with NTM, and 11.5% (9.0%, 13.9%) in patients without NTM. Independent predictors of 5-year mortality were baseline FEV1 percent predicted, age, hospitalization within 2 years before baseline, body mass index, and sex (all P < 0.01). The probabilities of acquiring NTM or Pseudomonas aeruginosa were approximately 4% and 3% per year, respectively. Spirometry, exacerbations, and hospitalizations were similar, regardless of NTM status, except that annual exacerbations were lower in patients with NTM (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Outcomes, including exacerbations, hospitalizations, rate of loss of lung function, and mortality rate, were similar across 5 years in patients with bronchiectasis with or without NTM.

Patients with nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung infection require life-long attention to their bronchiectasis, whether or not their NTM infection has been cured. The identification of the cause of bronchiectasis and/or coexisting diseases is important because it may affect therapeutic strategies. Airway clearance is the mainstay of bronchiectasis management. It can include multiple breathing techniques, devices, and mucoactive agents. The exact airway clearance regimen should be customized to each individual patient. Chronic pathogenic airway bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, may warrant consideration of eradication therapy and/or chronic use of maintenance inhaled antibiotics.

RATIONALE: Longitudinal epidemiological and clinical data are needed to improve the management of patients with bronchiectasis developing nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) pulmonary disease. OBJECTIVES: To describe the epidemiology, patient management, and treatment outcomes of NTM infections in patients with bronchiectasis enrolled in the United States Bronchiectasis and NTM Research Registry (US BRR). METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients with bronchiectasis and NTM infections enrolled with follow-up in the US BRR in 2008-2019. The study included patients with ≥1 positive NTM respiratory culture in the 24-month baseline period (baseline NTM cohort) and/or during the annual follow-up visits (incident NTM cohort). Incidence, prevalence, baseline patient characteristics, treatment exposure, treatment outcomes, and respiratory clinical outcomes were described in the baseline NTM cohort, incident NTM cohort, and both cohorts combined (prevalent NTM cohort). RESULTS: Between 2008 and 2019, 37.9% (1457/3840) of patients with bronchiectasis in the US BRR met the inclusion criteria for this study and were reported to have Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and/or Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABSC) infections. MAC prevalence increased steadily in the US BRR during 2009-2019; incidence was relatively stable, except for a peak in 2011 followed by a slow decrease. MABSC and mixed MAC/MABSC infections were rare. Most patients with bronchiectasis and NTM infections in the registry were female, White, and aged >65 years. The antibiotics administered most commonly reflected current guidelines. In the prevalent cohort, 44.9% of MAC infections and 37.1% of MABSC infections remained untreated during follow-up, and MAC treatment was initiated with delay (>90 days after positive NTM respiratory culture) twice as frequently as promptly (≤90 days after positive NTM respiratory culture) (68.6% vs 31.4%, respectively). The median time from diagnosis to treatment was shorter for MABSC versus MAC infections (194.0 days [interquartile range (IQR) 8.0, 380.0] vs 296.0 days [IQR 35.0, 705.0], respectively). Among patients with MAC infections who completed treatment, 27.6% were classified as cured and 29.6% as treatment failure during the annual follow-up visit window. For MABSC, these proportions were 25.0% and 28.0%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: A considerable proportion of MAC and MABSC infections were untreated or treated after initial delay/observation. MABSC infections were more likely to be treated and start treatment sooner than MAC infections. Further longitudinal studies are warranted to evaluate the monitor-with-delay approach and inform clinical guidelines.

New therapies are needed to prevent exacerbations, improve quality of life and slow disease progression in bronchiectasis. Inhibition of cathepsin C (CatC) activity has the potential to decrease activation of neutrophil-derived serine proteases in patients with bronchiectasis, thereby reducing airway inflammation, improving symptoms, reducing exacerbations and preventing further airway damage. Here we present the design of a phase 2 trial (Airleaf™; NCT05238675) assessing the efficacy and safety of a novel CatC inhibitor, BI 1291583, in adult patients with bronchiectasis. This multinational, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, dose-finding study has a screening period of at least 6â weeks, a treatment period of 24-48â weeks and a follow-up period of 4â weeks. â¼240 adults with bronchiectasis of multiple aetiologies will be randomised to placebo once daily, or BI 1291583 1â mg once daily, 2.5â mg once daily or 5â mg once daily in a 2:1:1:2 ratio, stratified by Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection and maintenance use of macrolides. The primary efficacy objective is to evaluate the dose-response relationship for the three oral doses of BI 1291583 versus placebo on time to first pulmonary exacerbation up to Week 48 (the primary end-point). Efficacy will be assessed using exacerbations, patient-reported outcomes, measures of symptoms, sputum neutrophil elastase activity and pulmonary function testing. Safety assessment will include adverse event reporting, physical examination, monitoring of vital signs, safety laboratory parameters, 12-lead electrocardiogram, and periodontal and dermatological assessments. If efficacy and safety are demonstrated, results will support further investigation of BI 1291583 in phase 3 trials.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Guideline-based therapy (GBT) for pulmonary Mycobacterium abscessus (Mab) disease achieves sustained sputum culture conversion (SSCC) rates of 30%; this is reflected by poor efficacy of GBT in the hollow fiber system model of Mab (HFS-Mab), which killed â¼1.22 log10 CFU/mL. This study was performed to determine which clinical dose of omadacycline, a tetracycline antibiotic, should be used in combination therapy to treat pulmonary Mab disease for relapse-free cure. METHODS: First, omadacycline intrapulmonary concentration-time profiles of seven daily doses were mimicked in the HFS-Mab model and exposures associated with optimal efficacy were identified. Second, 10,000 subject Monte-Carlo simulations were performed to determine whether oral omadacycline 300 mg/day achieved these optimal exposures. Third, a retrospective clinical study on omadacycline vs. primarily tigecycline-based salvage therapy was conducted to assess rates of SSCC and toxicity. Fourth, a single patient was recruited to validate the findings. RESULTS: Omadacycline efficacy in the HFS-Mab was 2.09 log10 CFU/mL at exposures achieved in >99% of patients on 300 mg/day omadacycline. In the retrospective study of omadacycline 300 mg/day-based combinations vs. comparators, SSCC was achieved in 8/10 vs. 1/9 (P=0.006), symptom improvement in 8/8 vs. 5/9 (P=0.033), toxicity in 0 vs. 9/9 (P<0.001), and therapy discontinuation due to toxicity in 0 vs. 3/9 (P<0.001) cases, respectively. In one prospectively recruited patient, omadacycline 300 mg/day salvage therapy achieved SSCC and symptom-resolution in 3 months. CONCLUSION: Based on the preclinical and clinical data, omadacycline 300 mg/day in combination regimens could be appropriate for testing in Phase III trials in patients with Mab pulmonary disease.

INTRODUCTION: Little information is available about Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in patients with bronchiectasis. We analyzed data from the US Bronchiectasis and NTM Research Registry to determine its prevalence and association with patient characteristics and severity of disease. METHODS: Baseline and follow-up data were entered into a central web-based database. Patients were grouped into four cohorts based on their baseline cultures: 1) S. maltophilia, no Pseudomonas aeruginsosa, 2) P. aeruginosa, no S. maltophilia, 3) No pathogens, 4) Pathogens other than P. aeruginosa and S. maltophilia. The association between S. maltophilia, demographic characteristics, pulmonary function, exacerbations and hospitalizations was assessed at baseline and one year follow-up. RESULTS: Among 2659 patients, 134 (5.0%) had grown S. maltophilia at baseline. The prior exacerbation rate at baseline was similar in patients with S. maltophilia and P. aeruginosa, but significantly higher than the other two groups. Hospitalizations were more frequent in patients with S. maltophilia or P. aeruginosa. Pre-bronchodilator FEV1 among S. maltophilia patients was between that of Pseudomonas patients and patients without either organism, but was not significantly different from any of the other groups. For all risk-adjusted one-year outcomes, patients with S. maltophilia had a non-significant trend towards worse outcomes compared to patients without P. aeruginosa, but were more similar to patients with P aeruginosa. DISCUSSION: Bronchiectasis patients with S. maltophilia may have worse outcomes than patients without this organism or without P. aeruginosa; further study is needed to determine if the non-significant trends we note are clinically significant.

BACKGROUND: Bronchiectasis is a chronic lung condition frequently associated with nontuberculous mycobacteria pulmonary (NTM) disease. Persons with these conditions are at increased risk of mortality. Patient reported outcome (PRO) instruments and the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) have been shown to predict mortality for several lung conditions, but these measures have not been fully evaluated for bronchiectasis and NTM. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study among adult patients enrolled in a natural history study of bronchiectasis at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Electronic medical records were queried for demographic, clinical, microbiologic, radiographic, and PRO instrument data: St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale, and the Pulmonary Symptom Severity Score (PSSS). The study baseline date was defined as the patient's first visit after January 1st, 2015 with a SGRQ or 6MWT completed. Follow-up was defined as the interval between the study baseline visit and date of death or December 31st, 2019. Sex-stratified Cox proportional-hazards regression was conducted to identify predictors of mortality. Separate models were run for each PRO and 6MWT measure, controlling for age, body mass index (BMI), fibrocavitary disease status, and M. abscessus infection. RESULTS: In multivariable Cox proportional-hazards regression models, the PSSS-severity (aHR 1.29, 95% CI 1.04-1.59), the 6MWT total distance walked (aHR 0.938, 95% CI 0.896-0.981) and distance saturation product (aHR 0.930, 95% CI 0.887-0.974) independently predicted mortality. In addition, BMI was significantly predictive of mortality in all models. CONCLUSIONS: The 6MWT and a PRO instrument capturing symptom severity are independently predictive of mortality in our cohort of bronchiectasis patients.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine and compare the efficacy of drugs to treat Mycobacterium kansasii (Mkn) pulmonary disease by performing minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination and time-kill studies. METHODS: We determined the MICs to 13 drugs against the Mkn standard laboratory strain ATCC 12478 and 20 clinical isolates and performed time-kill studies with 18 drugs from different classes using the standard laboratory strain of Mkn. The ß-lactam antibiotics were tested with or without the combination of the ß-lactamase inhibitor avibactam. An inhibitory sigmoid Emax model was used to describe the relationship between drug concentrations and bacterial burden. RESULTS: Among the 13 tested drugs in the MIC experiments, the lowest MIC was recorded for bedaquiline. Among the 18 drugs used in the time-kill studies, maximum kill with cefdinir, tebipenem, clarithromycin, azithromycin, moxifloxacin, levofloxacin, tedizolid, bedaquiline, pretomanid and telacebac was greater than that for some of the drugs (isoniazid, rifampicin and ethambutol) used in standard combination therapy. CONCLUSION: We report preclinical data on the efficacy and potency of drugs that can potentially be repurposed to create a safe, effective and likely shorter-duration regimen for the treatment of Mkn pulmonary disease.

Immunodeficiency represents a vast number of diseases and syndromes. Both primary and secondary forms of immunodeficiency are important contributors to the development of bronchiectasis. Primary immune deficiencies, in particular, are increasingly identified and defined as contributors. Specific immune deficiencies that are closely associated with bronchiectasis and as discussed in this article are common variable immunodeficiency, specific antibody deficiency, immunodeficiencies involving immunoglobulin E, DOCK8 immunodeficiency, phosphoglucomutase 3 deficiency, activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta syndrome, and X-linked agammaglobulinemia. Each of these primary immune deficiencies has unique nuances. Vigilance for these unique signs and symptoms is likely to improve recognition of specific immunodeficiency in the idiopathic bronchiectasis patient. Secondary forms of immunodeficiency occur as a result of a separate disease process. Graft versus host disease, malignancy, and human immunodeficiency virus are three classic examples discussed in this article. An awareness of the potential for these disease settings to lead to bronchiectasis is necessary to optimize patient care. With understanding and mindfulness toward the intricate relationship between bronchiectasis and immunodeficiency, there is an opportunity to elucidate pathophysiologic underpinnings between these two syndromes.

RATIONALE: Non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB) is characterized by dilated bronchi, poor mucus clearance and susceptibility to bacterial infection. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is one of the most frequently isolated pathogens in patients with NCFB. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between presence of PA and disease severity in patients within the US Bronchiectasis and Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) Research Registry (BRR). METHODS: Baseline US BRR data from adult patients with NCFB collected between 2008 and 2018 was used for this study. The presence of PA was defined as one or more positive PA cultures within two years prior to enrollment. Modified Bronchiectasis Severity Index (m-BSI) and modified FACED (m-FACED) were computed to evaluate severity of bronchiectasis. Unadjusted and multivariable multinomial regression models were used to assess the association between presence of PA and severity of bronchiectasis. RESULTS: Average age of the study participants (n = 1831) was 63.7 years (SD = 14.1), 91.5% white, and 78.8% female. Presence of PA was identified in 25.4% of the patients. Patients with presence of PA had significantly lower mean pre-bronchodilator FEV1% predicted compared to those without PA (62.8% vs. 73.7%, p < .0001). In multivariate analyses, patients with presence of PA had significantly greater odds for having high (ORadj = 6.15 (95%CI:3.98-9.50) and intermediate (ORadj = 2.06 (95%CI:1.37-3.09) severity vs. low severity on m-BSI. CONCLUSION: The presence of PA is common in patients with NCFB within the Bronchiectasis and NTM Research Registry. Severity of bronchiectasis is significantly greater in patients with PA which emphasizes high burden of the disease.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Increasing numbers of patients are being diagnosed with bronchiectasis, yet much remains to be elucidated about this heterogeneous patient population. We sought to determine the relationship between nutrition and health outcomes in non-cystic fibrosis (non-CF) bronchiectasis, using data from the U.S. Bronchiectasis Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Research Registry (U.S. BRR). METHODS: This was a retrospective, observational, longitudinal study using 5-year follow-up data from the BRR. Bronchiectasis was confirmed on computed tomography (CT). We stratified patients into nutrition categories using body mass index (BMI), and correlated BMI to markers of disease severity. RESULTS: Overall, n = 496 patients (mean age 64.6- ± 13 years; 83.3% female) were included. At baseline 12.3% (n = 61) were underweight (BMI < 18.5kg/m2), 63.9% (n = 317) had normal weight (BMI ≥ 18.5kg/m2 and <25.0kg/m2), 17.3% (n = 86) were overweight (BMI ≥ 25.0kg/m2 and < 30.0kg/m2), and 6.5% (n= 32) were obese (BMI ≥ 30kg/m2). Men were overrepresented in the overweight and obese groups (25.6% and 43.8% respectively, p < 0.0001). Underweight patients had lower lung function (forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1] % predicted) than the other weight groups (64.5 ± 22, versus 73.5 ± 21, 68.5 ± 20, and 76.5 ± 21 in normal, overweight, and obese groups respectively, p = 0.02). No significant differences were noted between BMI groups for other markers of disease severity at baseline, including exacerbation frequency or hospitalization rates. No significant differences were noted in BMI distribution between patients with and without Pseudomonas, non-tuberculous mycobacteria, or by cause of bronchiectasis. The majority of patients demonstrated stable BMI over 5 years. CONCLUSIONS: Although underweight patients with bronchiectasis have lower lung function, lower BMI does not appear to relate to other markers of disease severity in this patient population.
