| Arikayce (amikacin liposome inhalation suspension) | For the treatment of mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) lung disease as part of a combination antibacterial drug regimen in patients who do not achieve negative sputum cultures after a minimum of 6 consecutive months of a multidrug background regimen therapy. As only limited clinical safety and effectiveness data for arikayce are currently available, reserve arikayce for use in adults who have limited or no alternative treatment options. This drug is indicated for use in a limited and specific population of patients. this indication is approved under accelerated approval based on achieving sputum culture conversion (defined as 3 consecutive negative monthly sputum cultures) by month 6. Clinical benefit has not yet been established | 9/28/2018 | PMR 3480-1: Conduct a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to assess and describe the clinical benefit of ARIKAYCE in patients with nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease caused by MAC. The trial will evaluate the effect of ARIKAYCE on a clinically meaningful endpoint, as compared to an appropriate control in the intended patient population of patients with MAC infection. | 6/30/2024 |
