The PGI-S respiratory symptom is a self-reported scale to measure the severity of illness based on symptoms using a 5-point scale ranging from 1 to 5, (1=not at all, 2=mild, 3=moderate, 4=very severe, 5=extremely severe). Considering different aspects of breathing symptoms like congestion, cough, mucus, wheezing, shortness of breath, participants rated their symptom severity on the PGI-S respiratory symptom scale. Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity.

The PGI-S fatigue is a self-reported scale to measure the severity of illness based on symptoms using a 5-point scale ranging from 1 to 5, (1=not at all, 2=mild, 3=moderate, 4=very severe, 5=extremely severe). Participants rated the severity of their fatigue on the PGI-S fatigue scale. Higher scores indicate greater fatigue severity.

The QOL-B is a self-administered, PRO questionnaire used to assess symptoms, functioning, and health related quality of life in adults with lung conditions. The respiratory symptom domain of the QOL-B contains 9 items describing patient's self-assessment of her/his respiratory symptoms that affect daily life. For each of the 8 items (chest congestion, coughing, cough up mucus, shortness of breath with greater activity, wheezing, chest pain, shortness of breath when talking, woken up during night due to cough), scores ranged from 1 to 4 (1= lot, 2= moderate, 3= little, 4= not at all) and the sputum item based on the color ranged from 0=don't know,1=green with traces of blood/brownish dark,2=yellowish-green,3=clear to yellow,4=clear. The item scores were summed and then standardized on a 0 to 100-point scale to derive the domain score with higher scores representing fewer symptoms or better functioning and quality of life.

The PROMIS F-SF 7a is a self-administered questionnaire assessing a range of self-reported symptoms over the past 7 days, from mild subjective feelings of tiredness to an overwhelming, debilitating, and sustained sense of exhaustion that likely decreases one's ability to execute daily activities and function normally in family or social roles. Fatigue is divided into the experience of fatigue (frequency, duration, and intensity) and the impact of fatigue on physical, mental, and social activities over 7 items. Response options are on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 1=never to 5=always. Total scores range from 7 to 35 and low scores represent less fatigue interference i.e., better symptoms.

TRTR consists of measuring the degree to which an instrument yield reproducible score at different points in time assessed across a fixed and common time interval for all subjects. TRTR co-relations were based on the two-way mixed effect ICC coefficient estimated using the inter-rater reliability package, version 0.84.1. TRTR estimate of 0.7 and above indicated better retest reliability. TRTR was assessed among participants reporting no change on PGI-S between screening and baseline. PGI-S anchors are PRO specific, with a respiratory PGI-S (scale ranging from 1=not at all to 5=extremely severe, Higher scores=greater symptom severity) applied to the QOL-B respiratory domain (9-item scale ranging from 0 to 100, higher scores=fewer symptoms and better quality of life). As pre-specified in statistical analysis plan(SAP) for participants contributing to this outcome measure from INS-415 study,data were collected and analyzed for combined population in which ALIS and ELC groups were pooled.

TRTR co-relations were based on the two-way mixed effect ICC coefficient estimated using the inter-rater reliability package, version 0.84.1. TRTR estimate of 0.7 and above indicated better retest reliability. TRTR was estimated using mean PROMIS F-SF 7a scores from participants who were stable as defined by a PGI-S-Fatigue change score of zero between screening and baseline. As pre-specified in the SAP, for participants contributing to this outcome measure from INS-415 study, data were collected and analyzed for combined population in which ALIS and ELC groups were pooled.

WSMC was estimated via change scores computed between Baseline and end of study (EOS) (Month 7). The estimated WSMC threshold of 14.81 points for the QOL-B Respiratory Symptom score (9-item scale ranging from 0 to 100, higher scores=fewer symptoms and better quality of life) as derived from anchor-based methods supplemented with eCDF curves was used for analysis. The percentage of participants and confidence intervals were estimated by standardized logistic regression with treatment group and history of mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) lung infection as factors in the model. Missing change from baseline at Month 7 was imputed by multiple imputation. The mean of all imputed values was used to derive response according to WSMC. Response rate was expressed in terms of percentage of participants and the percentages are rounded off to the nearest decimal.
