Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Inhaled molgramostim

Experimental: Inhaled molgramostim/antimycobacterials - Inhaled molgramostim administered in subjects who remain sputum culture positive while currently on a multidrug Nontuberculous Mycobacterial (NTM) guideline based antimycobacterial regimen, which has been ongoing for at least 6 months prior to the Baseline Visit

Experimental: Inhaled molgramostim - Inhaled molgramostim administered in subjects who remain sputum culture positive but have stopped a multidrug Nontuberculous Mycobacterial (NTM) guideline based antimycobacterial regimen at least 28 days prior to Screening due to lack of response or intolerance, or who never started such treatment

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. History of chronic pulmonary infection with MAC or M. abscessus (defined as at least 2
documented positive sputum cultures in the prior 2 years, of which at least one was
obtained in the 6 months prior to Screening).

2. Subject fulfills one of the following criteria:

- Subjects who remain sputum culture positive while currently on a multidrug NTM
guideline based antimycobacterial regimen, which has been ongoing for at least 6
months prior to the Baseline Visit

- Subjects who remain sputum culture positive but have either stopped a multidrug
NTM guideline based antimycobacterial regimen at least 28 days prior to Screening
due to lack of response or intolerance, or never started such treatment.

3. Ability to produce at least 2 mL of sputum or be willing to undergo an induction that
produces at least 2 mL of sputum for clinical evaluation.

4. Female or male =18 years of age.

5. Females who have been post-menopausal for more than 1 year or females of childbearing
potential after a confirmed menstrual period using a highly efficient method of
contraception (i.e. a method with less than 1% failure rate such as combined hormonal
contraception, progesterone-only hormonal contraception, intrauterine device,
intrauterine hormone- releasing system, bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomized
partner, sexual abstinence), during and until thirty (30) days after last dose of
trial treatment. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum
pregnancy test at Screening (Visit 1) and a negative urine pregnancy test at dosing at
Baseline (Visit 2) and must not be lactating.

6. Males agreeing to use condoms during and until thirty (30) days after last dose of
medication, or males having a female partner who is using adequate contraception as
described above.

7. Willing and able to provide signed informed consent.

13. Previous experience of severe and unexplained side-effects during aerosol delivery of
any kind of medicinal product

14. Any other serious medical condition which in the opinion of the investigator would

Summary
Brief summary
The trial is an open-label, non-controlled, multicenter, pilot clinical trial of inhaled
molgramostim (recombinant human Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor; rhGM-CSF)
in subjects with persistent pulmonary Nontuberculous Mycobacterial (NTM) infection. Subject
will be treated for 24-weeks with inhaled molgramostim and will be followed up for 12-weeks
after end of treatment. The primary aim of the trial is to investigate the efficacy of
inhaled molgramostim on NTM sputum culture conversion to negative.
