Mycobacteriophage Treatment of Non-tuberculosis Mycobacteria

About 10 people with cystic fibrosis (CF) and persistent Nontuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM) infection despite treatment will be screened to find out if their NTM infection has at least one mycobacteriophage that is effective in killing the mycobacteria. Individuals who are found to have at least one phage will be offered assistance in pursuing FDA approval for treatment via expanded-access Individual New Drug (IND) for compassionate-use. They will receive phage treatment for 1 year along with their guideline-based antibiotics for NTM. Individuals who are not identified as having a phage match will be followed as they continue to receive guideline based antibiotic therapy for 1 year. All subjects, including those who do not have a phage match will continue to be observed for the duration of the study, or about 1 year.

Controls for Respiratory Diseases

This is the registry of control participants for patients with various respiratory diseases. We screened healthy volunteers who visited Seoul National Hospital Healthcare System Gangnam Center for routine health check-up, and enrolled patients who agree to participate in the study. The participants undergo baseline questionnaires, provide blood specimen and information of the results of health check-up. We will include participants as controls if they have no significant respiratory symptom and no significant radiographic abnormality. The data from this registry will be compared with those from other registry of various respiratory diseases
