Safe and effective treatments for mycetoma are urgently needed; however, there is no systematic measure that allows objective clinical assessment of disease severity and activity, which makes it difficult to accurately assess the effectiveness of treatments and draw comparisons between studies. A Delphi study was conducted, involving a panel of 23 mycetoma experts from five continents, to establish consensus on the structure, wording, and content of a clinical scoring system for mycetoma. Three rounds of anonymous surveys were conducted between August, 2023 and May, 2024. Consensus was defined as 65–85% agreement and strong consensus if 85% or higher. The final version of the Mycetoma Activity and Severity clinical Scale (MASS) consisted of 20 items, 14 pertaining to disease severity and six to disease activity, grouped into objective clinical features, patient-reported measures, and investigations. Consensus was achieved for 19 of the 20 items, and a strong consensus for 14. The MASS is the first clinical scoring system for mycetoma derived from a consensus approach and will facilitate accurate evaluation of treatment response if adopted into routine clinical practice by health-care workers across mycetoma-endemic regions. The MASS will also serve an important function as a research tool for use in prospective clinical studies and comparative drug trials.","PeriodicalId":49923,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Infectious Diseases","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":56.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143518076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This trial assessed sipavibart efficacy and safety for prevention of symptomatic COVID-19 in participants who are immunocompromised.<h3>Methods</h3>In this ongoing, double-blind, international, phase 3 trial, we enrolled participants who were immunocompromised and aged 12 years or older at 197 hospitals, university health centres, and clinical trial units in 18 countries. Participants were randomly allocated 1:1 to a sipavibart group (intramuscular sipavibart 300 mg on days 1 and 181) or a comparator group (tixagevimab 300 mg–cilgavimab 300 mg on day 1 and placebo on day 181 or placebo on days 1 and 181), stratified by previous COVID-19 vaccination and infection status and use of tixagevimab–cilgavimab. The primary efficacy outcomes were symptomatic COVID-19 caused by any variant or symptomatic COVID-19 caused by non-Phe456Leu-containing variants within 181 days of dosing, assessed in the SARS-CoV-2-negative set, comprising all participants without a positive RT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 at baseline and who received at least one trial intervention dose. Safety outcomes for adverse events were assessed 90 days following the first dose and for serious adverse events throughout the study in the safety analysis set (ie, all participants who received at least one injection of sipavibart or comparator).
