研究概览
简要总结
This study assessed time to recurrence of infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa following treatment of the initial infection with tobramycin nebuliser solution. The safety profile of the initial tobramycin treatment was assessed during the first 3 months of the study and patients were followed until the end of the study, month 27.
详细描述
This was a multi-center, open-label, two-arm, randomized study. All patients diagnosed with CF and who fulfilled the criteria for early infection with P. aeruginosa initially received tobramycin 300 mg twice a day for 28 days. At the end of the 28-day treatment period, patients who met the inclusion criteria and none of the additional exclusion criteria were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either receive an additional 28 days of treatment with tobramycin 300 mg twice a day (56-day group) or to stop study medication (28-day group).
All randomized patients had regular study visits until a positive P. aeruginosa sample was obtained. Once P. aeruginosa had recurred, the patient entered a follow-up phase where minimal information was collected for 27 months. During the follow-up phase, patients were treated according to their physicians' discretion.
Patients who started treatment with tobramycin but were not randomized (i.e. due to a positive antibody test) and followed up during routine clinic visits. They were allowed to continue their 28-day treatment period and afterwards be treated according to their physicians' discretion.

研究组 & 干预措施
Tobramycin 300 mg for 28 days
Patients inhaled tobramycin 300 mg bis in die (bid, twice a day) for 28 days using the PARI LC PLUS™ jet nebulizer and a suitable compressor. The 2 daily doses were taken approximately 12 hours apart and no less than 6 hours apart.
干预措施: Tobramycin solution for inhalation 300 mg (Drug)
Tobramycin 300 mg for 56 days
Patients inhaled tobramycin 300 mg bis in die (bid, twice a day) for 56 days using the PARI LC PLUS™ jet nebulizer and a suitable compressor. The 2 daily doses were taken approximately 12 hours apart and no less than 6 hours apart.
干预措施: Tobramycin solution for inhalation 300 mg (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Time to Recurrence of Pseudomonas (P.) Aeruginosa (Any Genotype) in Sputum or Deep Throat Cough Swab
时间窗: From 1 month after the end of treatment (Day 56 for the 28-day treatment group and Month 3 for the 56-day treatment group) until the end of the study (Month 27)
Microbiological samples were obtained from sputum or by deep throat cough swab technique. Time to recurrence was defined as the time between the visit at 1 month after the end of treatment (when eradication was confirmed) and the time of the first positive culture with any genotype of P. aeruginosa. Time zero was Day 56 (Month 2) for the 28-day treatment group and Month 3 for the 56-day treatment group. Kaplan-Meier estimates were used.
次要结局
- Percentage of Patients With Pseudomonas (P.) Aeruginosa Eradicated From Deep Throat Cough Swab or Sputum(From 1 month after the end of treatment until the end of the study (Month 27))
- Time to Recurrence of Pseudomonas (P.) Aeruginosa (New or Same Genotype) in Sputum or Deep Throat Cough Swab Based on Confirmatory Assessment by the Central Laboratory(From 1 month after the end of treatment until the end of the study (Month 27))
- Percentage of Patients With Pseudomonas (P.) Aeruginosa Having an Increased, Decreased, or Unchanged Tobramycin Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) Value at the Final Visit Compared to Baseline(From Baseline to the final visit (end of the study, Month 27))
- Number of Participants Hospitalized for Pulmonary Exacerbations(From Baseline to end of study (27 months))
