Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of Cipro Inhale in Patients With Non-cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis (NCT NCT00930982)

NCT ID: NCT00930982

Last Updated: 2014-12-12

Results Overview

Total bacterial load was determined in sputum collected before the inhalation of study drug. Sputum samples were either provided by the participant during the respective study visit, or participants had to bring a sputum sample that had been produced within the 4 hours prior to the visit. Induced sputum samples could be collected if the participant was unable to produce a spontaneously expectorated sputum sample of \> 2 mL. Imputation method: last observation carried forward (LOCF). CFU: colony forming units, log10: decadic logarithm

Participant Flow

Pulmonary stable participants with a proven and documented diagnosis of non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (idiopathic or postpneumonic), and on a stable regimen of standard treatment, were recruited at specialized study sites.

Out of 277 participants screened, 153 failed screening (mostly due to not meeting in-/exclusion criteria or inability to produce adequate sputum samples), and 124 participants were randomized (60 to Ciprofloxacin Inhale and 64 to placebo).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 29 days

Population: Modified intent-to-treat (ITT) analyses were performed on all participants who had been randomized and received study drug. This population was identical to the ITT population of all randomized participants.

Total bacterial load was determined in sputum collected before the inhalation of study drug. Sputum samples were either provided by the participant during the respective study visit, or participants had to bring a sputum sample that had been produced within the 4 hours prior to the visit. Induced sputum samples could be collected if the participant was unable to produce a spontaneously expectorated sputum sample of \> 2 mL. Imputation method: last observation carried forward (LOCF).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and up to end of study (planned at Day 84)

Population: Modified intent-to-treat (ITT) analyses were performed on all participants who had been randomized and received study drug. This population was identical to the ITT population of all randomized participants.

Pulmonary function testing (spirometry) was conducted in accordance with American Thoracic Society standards. FEV1 was defined as 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). Imputation method: last observation carried forward (LOCF).

Population: Modified intent-to-treat (ITT) analyses were performed on all participants who had been randomized and received study drug. This population was identical to the ITT population of all randomized participants.

Pulmonary function testing (spirometry) was conducted in accordance with American Thoracic Society standards. FVC was defined as the maximal volume of air exhaled with maximally forced effort from a maximal inspiration, i.e. vital capacity performed with a maximally forced expiratory effort expressed in liters at BTPS. Imputation method: last observation carried forward (LOCF).

Population: Modified intent-to-treat (ITT) analyses were performed on all participants who had been randomized and received study drug. This population was identical to the ITT population of all randomized participants. NA: due to fewer than 25% of participants having an exacerbation

Acute exacerbation was defined according to the joint American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society criteria. For detailed information with regard to this definition of acute exacerbation, please refer to the detailed description in the protocol section. The time to an acute exacerbation with antibiotic intervention was determined.

Population: Modified intent-to-treat (ITT) analyses were performed on all participants who had been randomized and received study drug. This population was identical to the ITT population of all randomized participants.

Participants completed the Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). They were assured that all data would be treated confidentially and that the answers would not have any influence on study drug treatment. Participants completed the questionnaires on their own in a quiet area, without discussing them with study staff or accompanying persons (e.g. friends or relatives) and before being seen by the clinician. The score ranges from 0 to 100 with 100 being the worst possible score.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to end of study (planned at Day 84)

Population: Modified intent-to-treat (ITT) analyses were performed on all participants who had been randomized and received study drug. This population was identical to the ITT population of all randomized participants.

The emergence of new potential respiratory pathogens was evaluated using microbiological analysis. Evaluated was the cumulative number of participants with first appearance of new potential respiratory antigens at each time point. In some cases, participants attended the end of study visit later than Day 84 (up to Day 88).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to end of study (planned at Day 84)

Population: Modified intent-to-treat (ITT) analyses were performed on all participants who had been randomized and received study drug. This population was identical to the ITT population of all randomized participants.

The emergence of resistance (at least two-fold increase of Minimal inhibitory concentration, MIC, vs. baseline values) probably or possibly related to study medication among baseline pathogens was evaluated using microbiological analysis.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and up to end of study (planned at Day 84)

Population: Modified intent-to-treat (ITT) analyses were performed on all participants who had been randomized and received study drug. This population was identical to the ITT population of all randomized participants. Decadic logarithm of colony forming units (CFUs) per gram sputum

Total bacterial load was determined in sputum collected before the inhalation of study drug. Sputum samples were either provided by the participant during the respective study visit, or participants had to bring a sputum sample that had been produced within the 4 hours prior to the visit. Induced sputum samples could be collected if the participant was unable to produce a spontaneously expectorated sputum sample of \> 2 mL on Day 8. Imputation method: last observation carried forward (LOCF). CFU: colony forming units, log10: decadic logarithm
