Long Term Administration of Inhaled Mannitol in Cystic Fibrosis

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Cystic Fibrosis
Interventions
Drug: Placebo comparator
Registration Number
NCT00630812
Lead Sponsor
Syntara
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy and safety of 26 weeks treatment with inhaled mannitol in subjects with cystic fibrosis. Previous studies have demonstrated improvements in lung function, mucociliary clearance, changes in physical properties of mucus, 24 hour sputum weight and quality of life. The results of this study are to further investigate and confirm these findings in addition to examine the effect on antibiotic use and chest infections. It is hypothesised that inhaled mannitol will have beneficial effects compared to a control treatment. An open label phase of 26 weeks duration will follow the blinded 26 week phase. During the open label phase all subjects will receive active treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Absolute FEV1 From Baseline Over 26 Weeks26 weeks

Change from baseline in forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1) averaged over 26 weeks (measured at 6,14 and 26 weeks) The mean absolute change from baseline FEV1 (mL) over 26 weeks (measured at week 6, 14 and 26) will be compared between the two treatment groups with a REML (restricted maximum likelihood) based repeated measures approach.Least square means presented are for the average change over the 6, 14, and 26 week visits.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline FEF25-75 (mL/s) Over 26 Weeks26 weeks

Change from baseline in forced expiratory flow at 25-75% of forced vital capacity (FEF25-75) (mL/s) averaged over 26 weeks (measured at 6,14 and 26 weeks) The mean absolute change from baseline over 26 weeks (measured at week 6, 14 and 26) was compared between the two treatment groups with a REML (restricted maximum likelihood) based repeated measures approach. Least square means presented are for the average change over the 6, 14, and 26 week visits.

Change in FEV1 From Baseline Over 26 Weeks - Dornase Users26 weeks

In the subset of dornase users, the mean absolute change from baseline FEV1 (mL) averaged over 26 weeks (measured at week 6, 14 and 26) will be compared between the two treatment groups with a REML (restricted maximum likelihood) based repeated measures approach. Least square means presented are for the average change over the 6, 14, and 26 week visits.

Change from baseline over 26 weeks (measured at 6,14, 26 weeks) in subset of dornase users

Rate of Protocol Defined Pulmonary Exacerbations (PDPE)26 weeks

Exacerbations treated with IV antibiotics and with at least 4 signs and symptoms according to Fuchs criteria (1994). Summary table presents the number with 0, 1,2 and 3 PDPEs during the 26 week treatment period.

Hospitalisations Associated With Protocol Defined Pulmonary Exacerbations (PDPEs)26 weeks

The number of hospitalisations is summarised and then the rate per person is analysed.

Absolute Change in FEV1 Percent Predicted at 26 Weeks26 weeks

Change from baseline at 26 weeks in FEV1 percent predicted with BOCF for those with missing values at week 26

Antibiotic Use Associated With PDPEs26 weeks

Number of courses per person in the 26 week period is summarised and then the rate per person analysed.

Change in FVC (mL) Across 26 Weeks26 weeks

Change from baseline in forced vital capacity (FVC) across 26 weeks (measured at 6,14 and 26 weeks)

Sputum Weight at Baseline in Response to First Dose of Treatmentup to 30 mins after first dose of trial treatment

Sputum was collected during and for 30 minutes following the administration of the first dose of study treatment.
