Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Ciprofloxacin (Inhaled) in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis (NCT NCT00645788)

NCT ID: NCT00645788

Last Updated: 2014-06-09

Results Overview

FEV1: The maximal volume of air exhaled in the first second of a forced expiration from a position of full inspiration, expressed in liters at body temperature and ambient pressure saturated with water vapor (BTPS). This was recorded at the site using a spirometer. The later time point minus baseline, days as planned and the last observation carried forward (LOCF) used.

Participant Flow

The first visit of the first subject was on 05 May 2008 and the last visit of the last subject on 25 Jan 2011. This study was conducted at 73 centers from 8 countries.

Of all enrolled 486 subjects, 188 had screening failures, the remaining 288 were randomized but 2 subjects (one each in 32.5 mg Ciprofloxacin DPI (Dry Powder for Inhalation) and 48.75 mg Ciprofloxacin DPI groups) did not receive any study drug. A total of 286 subjects received one of the 4 study drug treatments.

Timeframe: Baseline and up to visit 9 (day 56-60)

Population: Intent to treat

Susceptibility and resistance assessment of a bacterial isolate was performed using the established Food and Drug Administration (FDA) susceptibility criteria for ciprofloxacin. The susceptibility criteria in mg/L are ≤1 for organisms Enterobacteriaciae, P. aeruginosa, Staphylococcus species and S. pneumoniae. The "susceptible" bacterial species likely responds to typical doses of ciprofloxacin. The resistance criteria for ciprofloxacin in mg/L are ≥4 mg/L for the same organisms. Resistance indicates that the bacteria is less likely to respond to typical doses of ciprofloxacin therapy.

The CF quality of life questionnaire revised (CFQ-R), a validated disease-specific instrument that measures health-related quality of life (HRQOL) for adolescents and adults with cystic fibrosis (CF). It is self-administered and consists of 44 items, divided into 12 generic and disease-specific scales. The scale includes physical functioning, role, vitality, emotional functioning, social functioning, body image, eating disturbances, treatment burden, health perceptions, weight, respiratory symptoms, and digestive symptoms. Scale range: 0 to 100 (maximum). Better outcome with higher values.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to visit 7 (Day 28-30)

Population: Analysis was not performed due to insufficient data.

Plasma concentrations measured using validated high pressure liquid chromatography-mass specroscopy/mass spectroscopy (HPLC-MS/MS) methods in selected patients at predefined time windows to contribute pharmacokinetic (PK) information for an inter-study population PK evaluation. Sampling window for Plasma: Predose (trough level), \<15 min, 2.0 - 2.5 hour, and 4.0 - 7.0 hours after the end of inhalation. Number of samples vary at different time points.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to visit 7 (Day 28-30)

Population: Analysis was not performed due to insufficient data.

Sputum concentrations measured using validated HPLC-MS/MS methods in selected patients to contribute kinetic information for an inter-study population sputum kinetic evaluation. Number of samples vary at different time points.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to visit 9 (Day 56-60)

Population: Intent to treat

Bronchospasm reported as adverse event: Bronchospasm defined as \>=15% drop in FEV1, and may also include allergic and excercise-induced bronchospasm. Drug-induced bronchospasm: Treatment-emergent bronchospasm was defined as \>=15% drop in FEV1 in the ITT/safety population. Note: One of the bronchospasm events was considered a serious adverse event, and it was not included under "other" adverse events. A sum of bronchospasm events was 1+6=7.
