- To determine the effects of 400 mg twice-daily administration of IDPM on FEV1 in patients with CF compared to control [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
- To determine the effects of 400 mg twice-daily administration of IDPM on FEV1 in patients with CF on existing RhDNase treatment compared to control. (key objective) [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
- Reduces pulmonary exacerbations in those taking RhDNase as a sub-group and in the total cohort (key objective) [ Time Frame: 6 months / 12 months ]
- Improves quality of life (key objective) [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
- Reduces days on IV antibiotics, rescue oral or inhaled antibiotics [ Time Frame: 6 months / 12 months ]
- Reduces days in hospital due to pulmonary exacerbations [ Time Frame: 6 months / 12 months ]
- Improves other measures of lung function [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
- Demonstrates an appropriate safety profile (adverse events, haematology, biochemistry, change in bronchodilator response, sputum microbiology, physical examination) [ Time Frame: 6 months / 12 months ]
- Reduces hospital and community care costs [ Time Frame: 6 months / 12 months ]
