PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, month 1

Population: subjects with completed SF-36 surveys at month 1 and month 0 (n=28)

The SF-36 is a commonly used, well validated measure of global health related quality of life. The survey was self-administered. There are 8 subscales which combine to form a Physical Component Score (PCS) and a Mental Component Score (MCS). We analyzed within subject changes to the PCS and MCS at month 1 vs. 0. MCS and PCS scores are relative to a US population mean of 50. The higher the score, the better one perceives his quality of life. A change in score of 4 points or more is considered clinically meaningful. Scores represent Median Absolute Difference. The SF-36 was completed 14-35 days after the start of months 1 AZLI courses and compared to study month 0 (baseline/prior to 1st dose).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, month 1

Population: subjects with completed SF-36 surveys at month 1 and month 0 (n=28) time-points.

The SRGQ measures activities, symptoms, and impacts of living with a pulmonary condition. We analyzed the change to the within-subject Total score month 1 vs. 0. Total score ranges from 0-100 with a smaller value representing better respiratory-specific QOL. A change in score of 4 points or more is considered clinically meaningful. Scores represent Median Absolute Difference in the Total Score. The SGRQ was completed 14-35 days after the start of months 1 AZLI courses and compared to study month 0 (baseline/prior to 1st dose).

Timeframe: At Study Months 2 and 4

Population: Partial data for this outcome measure was collected on 4 participants and due to not having complete data set analyzation was not completed.

This will be compared to study month 0 (baseline, when obtained as standard of care (SOC).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, month 1

Population: The statistical analysis was unable to be performed due to insufficient number of paired observations. Only 9 of 30 enrolled had baseline microbiology data, 3 were cultured positive for Pseudomonas Aeruginosa. Only 1 of the 3 had a subsequent SOC BAL sample collected. Therefore, only raw data is entered for the one subject.

Microbiology data was collected when performed for SOC purposes on BAL or sputum samples. Baseline and 1 month value represents the culture final report value (0,1+, 2+, 3+, 4+) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A value of zero represents no Pseudomonas aeruginosa sputum or bronchoalveolar fluid. A value of 4 represents high amounts of Pseudomonas aeruginosa sputum or bronchoalveolar fluid.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline - defined as a within 90 days of enrollment and After Treatment (5 months)

Population: Participants with paired SOC bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cell differential counts performed within 90 days of AZLI month 1 (baseline timepoint) and \>=15 days after AZLI dose 1 through the completion of dose 3 (study month 5) were included in the analysis (n=5).

The study team is measuring the change in neutrophils AFTER treatment. They will compare a SOC BAL taken after AZLI with the BAL taken within 90 days of AZLI initiation (pre or baseline measure). The post AZLI BAL measurement time range is 15 days after first course of AZLI up to last day of the 3rd and final course of AZLI (over a period of 5 consecutive months).
