Has the BIG 3 for MAC not worked?
Has THE BIG THREE for MAC been a problem?
I was on the big 3 for Bronch and MAC and it made me sicker than the disease itself. But my pulmonologist just told me about a trial for patients with MAC who are not responding to standard treatment.They are using a new drug called epetaborole.You can check it at
NTMNJ@njms.rutugers.edu. The website can be found at www.macro2study.com/macro2

Hello! Yes, the big 3 can be very challenging for some patients. I am so glad to read about new drugs in the pipeline. Are you going to enroll in the clinical trial?
