Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Inhaled budesonide

Nebulized budesonide 1 mg b.i.d. thrice a week for four months. Patients will also receive a metered dose inhaler of formoterol/budesonide (6/200) at a dose of 2 puffs b.i.d. and as and when required \[max 10 puff/day\]

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Inhaled budesonide

Intervention Type DRUG

The control group will receive only nebulized budesonide 1 mg b.i.d. thrice a week for four months. Patients will also receive a metered dose inhaler of formoterol/budesonide (6/200) at a dose of 2 puffs b.i.d. and as and when required \[max 10 puff/day\]. The first dose will be administered under direct supervision. If the first dose is tolerated, therapy would be continued for the total duration of the study (4 months). The patient will be advised to clean the nebulizer chamber with soap and water after each administration to avoid contamination.

Inhaled budesonide plus amphotericin

Amphotericin B deoxycholate (50 mg) will be dissolved in 10 mL sterile water for injection (5 mg/mL). The solution remains stable for at least 7 days at 2°C to 8°C. Ten milligrams of the drug (2 mL) will be nebulized over 10-15 minutes twice in a day for three times a week (Effective dose: 10 mg b.i.d. thrice a week) using a jet nebulizer. Nebulized budesonide will be administered at a dose of 1 mg b.i.d. thrice a week after nebulization with amphotericin B. The total duration of therapy would last 4 months. Patients will also receive a metered dose inhaler of formoterol/budesonide (6/200) at a dose of 2 puffs b.i.d. and as and when required \[max 10 puff/day\].

The first dose will be administered under direct supervision.
