ABSTRACT: 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 ∼1.22 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
