Brief Summary:
To assess whether the inhalative combination of Tobramycin/Colistin is more effective in reducing Pseudomonas colony forming units (CFUs) and improvement of lung function than Colistin in mono-therapy.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Cystic Fibrosis With Pulmonary Manifestations Drug: Tobramycin Powder Drug: Colistin Phase 3

Detailed Description:

Cystic fibrosis (CF), the most common autosomal recessive disorder in Western countries, is caused by mutations of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator molecule (CFTR) and affects approximately 40.000 patients in Europe. The majority of CF patients develop chronic pulmonary infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These are normally treated with single antibiotics, administered orally, intravenously or inhalatively. Once the infection becomes chronic, eradication of the pathogen is not any more possible due to biofilm formation of the pathogen and increasing resistance. However, inhalative antibiotic combination therapy might be more efficient than single antibiotic therapy in chronically infected CF patients. This notion is supported by previous in vitro and animal studies using Tobramycin/Colistin combination therapy. Importantly, a pilot study in five CF patients who inhaled consecutively Colistin and Tobramycin solutions for 4 week, revealed a decrease of log10 2.52 ± 2.5 cfu of P. aeruginosa in sputum specimens during the course of the treatment compared to baseline values (p=0.027). The treatment was shown to be safe and well tolerated. However, forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV1) did not differ significantly.

Taking advantage of the new development of dry powder inhalation (DPI) antibiotics, specifically TOBI© Podhaler, a larger randomised trial has been performed in which the combined TOBI© Podhaler and Colistin treatment is compared to the monotherapy with Colistin.

Outcome Measures

Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Amount of P. aeruginosa in sputum [ Time Frame: 30 days ]
    The primary endpoint will be the difference of P. aeruginosa cfu/ml in sputum with combined therapy with Tobramycin/Colistin compared to colistin mono-therapy. The analysis will be adjusted for baseline values of each cycle and parametric (paired t-Test) or non-parametric (sign test) methods will be used as appropriate.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Course of P.aeruginosa amount in sputum [ Time Frame: 112 days ]
    Course of P. aeruginosa in sputum measured as cfu/ml during the study

  2. Course of forced vital capacity (FVC) absolute amount [ Time Frame: 112 days ]
    Course of FVC absolute in litres during the study

  3. Course of FVC relative amount [ Time Frame: 112 days ]
    Course of FVC relative (percent of expected amount for given body height and gender) during the study

  4. Course of FEV1 absolute amount [ Time Frame: 112 days ]

  5. Course of FEV1 relative amount [ Time Frame: 112 days ]
    Course of FEV1 relative (percent of expected amount for given body height and gender) during the study

  6. Course of MEF25-75 absolute amount [ Time Frame: 112 days ]
