In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The treatment of CPA is with oral itraconazole for 6-12 months. Oral itraconazole results in better clinical outcomes in CPA compared to supportive care. A recent study comparing 6 months with 12 months of oral itraconazole for longer duration treatment found longer duration reduced CPA relapse and improved clinical outcomes. However, longer duration of itraconazole could cause emergence of drug resistant Aspergillus fumigatus and therapy related adverse event. A recent study found nebulized amphotericin B non-inferior to oral itraconazole for treating CPA as primary therapy. However, the study was small and included patients with simple aspergilloma and used nebulized amphotericin B for 7 days.To be effective, an inhaled drug should be delivered in sufficient quantity to achieve therapeutic levels.The minimum inhibitory concentration of amphotericin B for A.fumigatus is 0.5 mg/L.
