MAC2v3 Pragmatic Clinical Trial

We are a team of researchers at Oregon Health and Science University and 20+ partner sites across the United States and Canada conducting a Patient-Centered Research Outcomes Institute (PCORI)-funded pragmatic trial to determine whether 2-drug therapy is as effective as and more tolerable than 3-drug therapy for pulmonary MAC disease, or “MAC2v3”.

Clinicaltrials.gov Information Page with eligibility criteria: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03672630

Let us support you with guidance from NTM experts as your uncomplicated pulmonary MAC patients begin treatment! MAC2v3 study participation has been expanded to include virtual enrollment and telehealth visits. The study team is now able to enroll patients from any health care provider nationwide. However, we need to enroll them prior to starting treatment. Once randomized, patients are monitored per usual care in collaboration with your clinic. Data collection is managed by the enrolling site. Please contact MAC2v3@ohsu.edu if you are interested in participating and providing this opportunity to your patients.

Home Sputum Collection Project

The COPD Foundation and NTM Info & Research, in partnership with a team of experts at National Jewish Health has designed a pilot program aimed at improving the current process for sputum testing. There will be no cost to the patient or physician as part of this pilot program.

Patients are able to provide sputum samples in the home setting

We can improve timelines of results and provide access to increased species identification and drug susceptibility testing

Home sputum collection provides a safe and accessible alternative to producing sputum in the laboratory setting

To learn more about the Home Sputum Collection Project and eligibility criteria, visit www.homesputum.org. Physicians interested in participating must complete an initial screening survey here.
