Trial Outcomes & Findings for Ease of Use and Microbial Contamination of Tobramycin Inhalation Powder (TIP) Versus Nebulised Tobramycin Inhalation Solution (TIS) and Nebulised Colistimethate (COLI) (NCT NCT01844778)

NCT ID: NCT01844778

Last Updated: 2016-07-27

Results Overview

The mean total time for administration of TIP via T-326 inhaler versus the total time for administration of COLI or TIS was assessed from information entered by participants into an ediary during the last 7 days prior to the last dose of a cycle. The total time included the setup, preparation, administration and cleaning/disinfection time.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: days 22 through 28 (cycle 1), days 78 through 84 (cycle 2)

Population: The full analysis set (FAS) was considered for this analysis. The FAS included participants who received at least 1 dose of treatment. Only participants (n), with non-missing mean total administration time of initial and second cycles, were analyzed.

The mean total time for administration of TIP via T-326 inhaler versus the total time for administration of COLI or TIS was assessed from information entered by participants into an ediary during the last 7 days prior to the last dose of a cycle. The total time included the setup, preparation, administration and cleaning/disinfection time.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: days 1, 28 (cycle 1); 57, 84, 112 (cycle 2)

Population: The FAS was considered and included participants who received at least 1 dose of treatment. Only participants (n), with values at the start and end of an on-treatment period ("on-treatment" change), and/or with values at the start of an on-treatment period and end of an off-treatment period ("off-treatment" change), were analyzed.

Sputum samples were sent to a central laboratory at the start and end of 2 treatment periods. The absolute change in the number of colony forming units (CFU) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in sputum = the value of end of on/off treatment period of the cycle minus the pre-dose value at the start of that cycle. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: days (d) 1, 28, 57, 84

Population: The FAS was considered for the analysis and included participants who had at least one dose of study treatment. Only participants (n), with an available culture from the delivery device, were analyzed.

Devices used to administer the drugs (the T-326 inhaler and nebulisers) were swabbed for contamination testing at the start and end of each treatment cycle (or discontinuation visit if the participant withdrew). No assessments were required from the T-326 inhaler when participants started the treatment period (days 1 and 57). Microbial contamination was measured according to device type and the frequency of organism growth (light/ moderate/ heavy). All nebulisers (neb) used by the participants were analyzed, including those for inhaling other medications, like mucolytics.

Timeframe: days 1, 28, 57, 84, 112

Population: The FAS was considered for the analysis and included participants who had at least one dose of study treatment. Only participants (n), with values on a given day, were analyzed for that day. The number of isolates tested = m.

MIC50/90 is the lowest concentration required to inhibit 50%/90% of the isolates tested. The MIC50/90 of a range of antibiotics for P.aeruginosa was determined at the start and end of each treatment cycle, and at the end of the off-treatment period of the second cycle.
