Sponsor's own description

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are environmental organisms found in soil and water. The majority do not cause human disease. When they do, this is mostly as a chronic lung infection in people with long-term lung problems such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchiectasis, or cystic fibrosis. The number of people with NTM pulmonary disease (PD) is increasing, and its management can be complex, requiring prolonged treatment with multiple, often toxic, drugs in someone who may already be frail. Non-drug approaches, such as airway clearance techniques, structured exercise, nutritional support and psychological care are used to help manage bronchiectasis and COPD. However, there is limited evidence about their benefit in people with NTM-PD. Also, it is not clear whether these patients' health needs are different from people with bronchiectasis alone. The investigators want to identify the most important symptoms encountered by people with NTM-PD and patient preferences for care. The study also aims to explore whether the need for non-drug measures differs between people with and without NTM-PD who have other underlying lung disease. The research will take place at one NHS centre and involve a single assessment of 40 people with NTM-PD not using specific antibiotics to treat their NTM and 40 people with bronchiectasis but no evidence for NTM. Following consent, and mainly using questionnaires, participants will be asked about their physical and mental health, and nutritional status. Exercise capacity, muscle strength and body muscle/fat composition will also be assessed using simple tests. The total time required will be a maximum of one hour. Recruitment to the study will last around six months. The results will help improve understanding of specific needs of people with NTM-PD and guide clinically relevant research in this area.
