• Sex: All
• Target Recruitment: 66

Inclusion Criteria

•Age = 18 years at screening.
•Bronchiectasis verified by chest CT scan.
•New positive sputum culture for PA (not older than 12 weeks at screening).
•No recent onset of new respiratory symptoms or worsening of pre-existing respiratory symptoms (e.g. cough, sputum amount, sputum colour, sputum viscosity, haemoptysis, decreased exercise capacity, malaise, fatigue etc.) over the last 2 months before new positive PA sputum culture, as per investigator judgement.
•Written informed consent.
•Negative serum/urine pregnancy test in women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) at screening
•WOCBP must agree to maintain a highly effective method of contraception during study treatment and at least 4 weeks thereafter.

Such methods include:

• progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, injectable, implantable)
• intrauterine device (IUD)
• intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS)
• bilateral tubal occlusion
• vasectomised partner
• sexual abstinence

•Male subjects have to use condom during treatment and until the end of relevant systemic exposure in the male subject, plus a further 90-day period and non-pregnant WOCBP partner have to use any contraception method additionally.

Exclusion Criteria

•Bronchiectasis due to cystic fibrosis
•Known prior infection with PA in the past 5 years before the new positive PA culture*
•Treatment with pseudomonas-active antibiotics in the period between new PA positive sputum culture and baseline visit.
•Planned pseudomonas-active antibiotic treatment during the time of study participation.
•Any treatment with inhaled antibiotics or long-term pseudomonas-active treatment (=3 months) in the past 5 years before screening.
•Known intolerance to ColiFin® in prior medical history.
•Hypersensitivity/Known intolerance to Colistimethate sodium, Colistin, polymyxin B or to other polymyxins.
•Known diagnosis of myasthenia gravis or porphyria
•ppFEV1 < 30% (post-bronchodilator)
•Pregnant women
•Breast feeding women
•strongly impaired renal function, GFR = 30 ml/min
•Participation in any other interventional clinical trial
*Patients with a positive culture for PA from respiratory specimens within the past 5 years, but within a time frame of =3 years before new PA detection, who had at least 2 negative cultures for PA from respiratory specimens per year within these 3 years while not on pseudomonas-active treatment are also regarded as PA negative and can be included in the trial. Respiratory specimens include throat swab, sputum, tracheal/bronchial secretion and bronchial lavage fluid
