Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤3× ULN; vi. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤3× ULN; vii. Serum creatinine \<2× ULN or creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min; viii. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) ≤200 mg/L; ix. Urine protein \<++ on dipstick; if trace (+), 24-hour urine protein must be \<500 mg; x. Fasting glucose within normal range \*\*or\*\* controlled stable glycemic levels in diabetic patients; xi. Cardiac function: No myocardial infarction in the past 6 months, no unstable angina, no severe arrhythmias, and New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class ≤II.

Exclusion

  • Any allergy to drugs included in the treatment regimen.
  • Completed anti-MAC therapy for more than 3 months.

  • Presence of congenital/acquired immunodeficiency diseases, active pulmonary malignancies (primary or metastatic), or any malignant tumors requiring chemotherapy/radiotherapy during screening or the study period.
  • History of solid organ transplantation.
  • Currently undergoing dialysis.
  • Radiographic pneumonia requiring steroid/immunoglobulin pulse therapy, clinically evident active interstitial lung disease, uncontrolled massive pleural effusion/pericardial effusion.
  • Unstable concomitant systemic diseases (hypertensive crisis, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction within the past 6 months, severe psychiatric disorders requiring medication, severe hepatic/renal dysfunction, neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease).
  • Poor gastrointestinal function or malabsorption syndrome.
  • Receipt of other investigational drugs (excluding participation of 2025-KY-004-1) within 4 weeks prior to the first administration of study drug.
  • Participation in another interventional clinical trial simultaneously, except for observational/non-interventional trials or follow-up periods of interventional trials.
