Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Patients who are at least 7 years old with stable Cystic Fibrosis who have Staphylococcus aureus in their Lungs will be enrolled into the study and receive one dose of Aurexis® intravenously on Study Day 1, and will be followed until Study Day 57. Aurexis is a humanized monoclonal antibody that is designed to combat Staphylococcus aureus.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and pharmacokinetic profile (concentration of Aurexis in blood and sputum) of Aurexis. Additionally, certain tests and measurements will be conducted to preliminarily determine if Aurexis demonstrates any benefit to these patients.
