Current Primary Outcome Measures (submitted: May 7, 2014)

Mean change in FEV1 (mL) from baseline (Visit 1) over the 26-week treatment period (to Visit 4). [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ]

The mean absolute change from baseline FEV1 (mL) over weeks 6, 14 and 26 will be compared between the two treatment groups with a REML based repeated measures approach

Current Secondary Outcome Measures (submitted: May 7, 2014)

Mean change from baseline FVC (mL) over the 26-week treatment period [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ]

To determine whether inhaled mannitol (400 mg b.i.d.) is superior to control for improving lung function as measured by mean change from baseline FVC (mL) over the 26-week treatment period in adult subjects with CF.

• Original Secondary Outcome Measures: Same as current

Current Other Pre-specified Outcome Measures (submitted: May 7, 2014)

• Time to first pulmonary exacerbation over the 26-week treatment period [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ]
  To determine whether inhaled mannitol (400 mg b.i.d.) is superior to control in increasing the time to first pulmonary exacerbation over the 26-week treatment period in adult subjects with CF
• Rate of pulmonary exacerbations over the 26-week treatment period [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ]
  To determine whether inhaled mannitol (400 mg b.i.d.) decreases the rate of pulmonary exacerbations over the 26-week treatment period compared to control in adult subjects with CF
• Number of days in hospital due to pulmonary exacerbation [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ]
  To determine whether in adult subjects with CF, inhaled mannitol (400 mg b.i.d.) is superior to control for decreasing the number of days in hospital due to pulmonary exacerbation.
• The incidence of pulmonary exacerbations [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ]
  To determine whether in adult subjects with CF, inhaled mannitol (400 mg b.i.d.) is superior to control for decreasing incidence of pulmonary exacerbations
• Number of days on antibiotics (oral, inhaled or IV) due to pulmonary exacerbation [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ]
  To determine whether in adult subjects with CF, inhaled mannitol (400 mg b.i.d.) is superior to control for decreasing the number of days in hospital due to pulmonary exacerbation.
• Ease of expectoration measured using a visual analogue scale [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ]
  To determine whether in adult subjects with CF, inhaled mannitol (400 mg b.i.d.) is superior to control for improving ease of expectoration
• CFQ-R respiratory domain score [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ]
  To determine whether in adult subjects with CF, inhaled mannitol (400 mg b.i.d.) is superior to control for improving respiratory symptoms measured by CFQ-R respiratory domain

• Original Other Pre-specified Outcome Measures: Same as current

Descriptive Information

• Brief Title: A Safety and Efficacy Trial of Inhaled Mannitol in Adult Cystic Fibrosis Subjects
• Official Title: Long Term Administration of Inhaled Mannitol in Cystic Fibrosis - A Safety and Efficacy Trial in Adult Cystic Fibrosis Subjects

Brief Summary

This trial aims to provide prospective evidence of the safety and efficacy of mannitol 400 mg b.i.d. in subjects aged 18 years and above.

We hypothesize that inhaled mannitol 400 mg b.i.d. will increase the mean change from baseline FEV1 (mL) compared to control over the 26-week treatment period in adult subjects with cystic fibrosis. Any improvement in FEV1 is considered clinically meaningful, however, this trial has set a threshold of 80 mL for the purposes of determining an appropriate sample size for statistical power while retaining trial feasibility in an orphan disease population

• Detailed Description: This is a double-blind, randomized, parallel arm, controlled, multicenter, and interventional clinical trial. Potential subjects will sign the informed consent form (ICF) and be assessed for eligibility. After satisfying all inclusion & exclusion criteria, subjects will be given a mannitol tolerance test (MTT). Those subjects that pass the MTT will be randomized to receive inhaled mannitol (400 mg b.i.d.) or control b.i.d. for a period of 26-weeks.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Have given written informed consent to participate in this trial in accordance with local regulations;
2. Have a confirmed diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (positive sweat chloride value ≥ 60 mEq/L) and/or genotype with two identifiable mutations consistent with CF, accompanied by one or more clinical features consistent with the CF phenotype);
3. Be aged at least 18 years old;
4. Have FEV1 > 40 % and < 90% predicted (using NHanes III [1]);
5. Be able to perform all the techniques necessary to measure lung function;
6. Be adherent with maintenance therapies (antibiotics and or rhDNase), if used, for at least 80% of the time in the two weeks prior to visit 1 and
