Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of delpazolid add-on therapy in Patients with Refractory Mycobacterium abscessus Complex Pulmonary disease

Detailed description

Delpazolid, which demonstrates effects similar to other oxazolidinone-class drugs and has confirmed good safety, aims to evaluate its efficacy in MABC-PD patients who are unresponsive to guideline-based treatments

Interventions

Three tablets (400 mg/tablet) of delpazolid will be orally administered once daily for 12 weeks. After 3 months (12 weeks) of administration, if the investigator determines that there are clinical benefits, an additional extended treatment of up to 9 months (40 weeks) may be given, amounting to 1 year of treatment in total.
