Participant Flow

A total of 27 infants were enrolled into the study protocol and underwent collection of a screening tracheal aspirate culture to determine eligibility for the entry into the phase 1 drug trial. Of these 27, 16 (59%) infants had a tracheal aspirate culture positive for an eligible Gram-negative pathogen. OF these 16, all were enrolled into the phase 1 drug trial. No parents/guardians elected to enroll their child in the untreated observational arm prior to completion of all dose levels.

Measure
Treatment Arm - 78mg
The phase 1 trial will begin with a dose of 78mg. All treatment arms will administer study drug every 12 hours for up to 14 days (28 doses). Up to 6 infants in this arm will receive the 78mg dose of tobramycin solution for inhalation administered via vibrating mesh nebulizer. During the trial, infants in each treatment arm will undergo blood and tracheal aspirate sampling and respiratory mechanics measurements at pre-specified time points to assess dose safety and potential efficacy. Continuous pulse oximetry monitoring for the duration of the trial will also occur. Clinical data will also be recorded daily throughout the trial in all participants. Tobramycin solution for inhalation 78mg dose: Inhaled tobramycin - 78mg administered every 12 hours for 14 days.
Treatment Arm - 150mg
If tolerability is demonstrated in the 78mg treatment arm following the 3+3 trial design, up to 6 infants will then be enrolled and receive 150mg of tobramycin solution for inhalation every 12 hours. The same monitoring procedures will be performed in this treatment arm as in the prior. Tobramycin solution for inhalation 150mg dose: Inhaled tobramycin - 150mg administered every 12 hours for 14 days.
Treatment Arm - 216mg
If tolerability is demonstrated in the 150mg treatment arm following the 3+3 trial design, up to 6 infants will then be enrolled and receive 150mg of tobramycin solution for inhalation every 12 hours. The same monitoring procedures will be performed in this treatment arm as in the prior. Tobramycin solution for inhalation 216mg dose: Inhaled tobramycin - 216mg administered every 12 hours for 14 days.
Treatment Arm - 300mg
If tolerability is demonstrated in the 216mg treatment arm following the 3+3 trial design, up to 6 infants will then be enrolled and receive 150mg of tobramycin solution for inhalation every 12 hours. The same monitoring procedures will be performed in this treatment arm as in the prior. Tobramycin solution for inhalation 300mg dose: Inhaled tobramycin - 300mg administered every 12 hours for 14 days.
Observational Arm
Enrolled infants who are eligible to participate in the phase-1 trial may be enrolled in an untreated observational cohort at parental discretion. This cohort will undergo collection of clinical and respiratory mechanics data for 14 days after enrollment but will not receive the study drug.

The same monitoring procedures will be performed in this treatment arm as in the prior. Tobramycin solution for inhalation 216mg dose: Inhaled tobramycin - 216mg administered every 12 hours for 14 days.

Tobramycin solution for inhalation 300mg dose: Inhaled tobramycin - 300mg administered every 12 hours for 14 days.
Observational Arm
Enrolled infants who are eligible to participate in the phase-1 trial may be enrolled in an untreated observational cohort at parental discretion. This cohort will undergo collection of clinical and respiratory mechanics data for 14 days after enrollment but will not receive the study drug.
Screened But Not Eligible
Enrolled infants who did not have evidence of a Gram-negative bacteria present on a prospective tracheal aspirate culture obtained for this trial and thus were not eligible to receive study drug.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: up to 1 year of age

Population: No infants were enrolled into the observational arm. 1 of the 16 enrolled infants (treatment arm - 78mg) was withdrawn early from the trial by the medical team and was not assessed for this outcome.

Measure
Treatment Arm - 78mg
n=3 Participants
The phase 1 trial will begin with a dose of 78mg. All treatment arms will administer study drug every 12 hours for up to 14 days (28 doses). Up to 6 infants in this arm will receive the 78mg dose of tobramycin solution for inhalation administered via vibrating mesh nebulizer. During the trial, infants in each treatment arm will undergo blood and tracheal aspirate sampling and respiratory mechanics measurements at pre-specified time points to assess dose safety and potential efficacy. Continuous pulse oximetry monitoring for the duration of the trial will also occur. Clinical data will also be recorded daily throughout the trial in all participants. Tobramycin solution for inhalation 78mg dose: Inhaled tobramycin - 78mg administered every 12 hours for 14 days.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: During the 14-day trial

Population: CFU counts were not measured by the microbiology lab on tracheal aspirate samples; only presence/absence of pathogens was recorded owing to variable consistency of sputum samples. No infants were enrolled into the observational arm.
