Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study was to assess the comparative safety and effectiveness of aztreonam for inhalation solution versus tobramycin inhalation solution in adult and pediatric patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and pulmonary Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) infection.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Number of Subjects Planned: Approximately 240 randomized patients

Target Population: CF patients \>= 6 years of age with stable pulmonary disease, who at study entry had a recent positive sputum culture for PA and had been previously treated with aerosolized antibiotics without demonstration of drug intolerance.

The randomized phase of this study, used for hypotheses testing, enrolled participants from both the United States (US) and EU. An open-label, single-arm extension was available for participants in the EU who completed at least one course of AZLI or TIS during the randomized portion of the study. These participants were eligible to receive 3 additional cycles of AZLI in a 28-day, intermittent, repeating treatment regimen. Results of the extension phase will be available the first quarter (Q1) of 2012.

Randomized Phase Study Design (US and EU): This was an open-label, multicenter, randomized, parallel group study. The study design consisted of 2 treatment arms of 28-day, intermittent, repeating treatment regimens: aztreonam for inhalation solution (AZLI) or tobramycin inhalation solution (TIS). The total study period was 26 weeks. The study schedule included 9 visits - Screening, Baseline, Day 14, Day 28, followed by visits every 28 days through the end of the study.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Males or females aged 6 years and older
* Subjects with CF as diagnosed by one of the following: documented sweat chloride \>= 60 mEq/L by quantitative pilocarpine iontophoresis test, or documented sweat sodium \>= 60 mmol/L, or 2 well characterized genetic mutations in the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) gene, or abnormal nasal potential difference with accompanying symptoms characteristic of CF
* Documented PA in an expectorated sputum or throat swab culture within 3 months prior to Visit 1 or at Visit 1
* Subjects must be able to provide written informed consent/assent prior to any study related procedures; parent/guardian must be able to give written informed consent as necessary prior to any study related procedure
* Subjects must have received previous treatment with aerosolized antibiotics without demonstration of drug intolerance
* FEV1 \<= 75% predicted at Visit 1
* Ability to perform reproducible pulmonary function tests
* Chest radiograph at Visit 1 without significant acute findings (eg, infiltrates \[lobar or diffuse interstitial\], pleural effusion, pneumothorax); or chest radiograph or magnetic resonance image (MRI) obtained within the 180 days prior to Visit 1 without acute findings and no significant intercurrent illness; chronic, stable findings (eg, chronic scarring or atelectasis) are allowed

Exclusion Criteria

* Current use of oral corticosteroids in doses exceeding the equivalent of 10 mg prednisone a day or 20 mg prednisone every other day
* History of sputum or throat swab culture yielding B. cepacia in the previous 2 years
* Current requirement for daily continuous oxygen supplementation or requirement for more than 2 L/minute at night
* Administration of any investigational drug or device within 28 days of Visit 1 or within 6 half-lives of the investigational drug (whichever is longer)
* Known local or systemic hypersensitivity to monobactam antibiotics
* Known allergies/intolerance to tobramycin
* Inability to tolerate inhalation of a short acting beta agonist
* Changes in or initiation of chronic azithromycin treatment within 28 days prior to Visit 1
* Administration of antipseudomonal antibiotics by inhalation, intravenous or oral routes within the 14 days prior to Randomization/Visit 2
* Changes in antimicrobial, bronchodilator (BD), dornase alfa, or corticosteroid medications within 7 days prior to Visit 1
* Changes in physiotherapy technique or schedule within 7 days prior to Visit 1
* History of lung transplantation
* Abnormal renal or hepatic function or serum chemistry at Visit 1, defined as aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \> 5 times upper limit of normal range (ULN) or creatinine \> 2 times ULN
* Positive pregnancy test at Visit 1; all women of childbearing potential will be tested
* Female of childbearing potential who is lactating or is not (in the opinion of the investigator) practicing an acceptable method of birth control; female subjects who utilize hormonal contraceptives as one of their birth control methods must have used the same method for at least 3 months before study dosing
* Any serious or active medical or psychiatric illness, which in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with patient treatment, assessment, or compliance with the protocol
