Condition Cystic Fibrosis
Intervention Drug: AZLI 75 mg two times a day (BID)/ three times a day (TID)
Enrollment 274
Recruitment Details Open-label, Phase 3 follow-on study for participants from Studies CP-AI-005 (NCT00104520) and CP-AI-007 (NCT00112359). Participants were enrolled at 71 sites in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The date of first enrollment was 17 August 2005, and the date of database lock was 23 January 2009.

Participants from CP-AI-005 received open-label AZLI (75 mg) in the same regimen (twice daily [BID] or three times daily [TID]) to which they were previously randomized. Participants from CP-AI-007 received open-label AZLI (75 mg) TID.

Title Number of Participants Reporting Adverse Events (AEs)
Hide Description

Participants experiencing at least 1 treatment-emergent AE or at least 1 serious adverse event (SAE) were summarized for the study as a whole. A treatment-emergent AE was any physical or clinical worsening in symptoms or disease experienced by the participant, whether or not the event was considered related to study participation or study procedures. An SAE was any adverse experience that resulted in hospitalization or death.

Participants were monitored for AEs and SAEs during all on-treatment and off-treatment intervals throughout the 18-month study period.
Time Frame Overall study (72 weeks) included nine 28-day courses of study drug alternating with nine 28-day courses off drug

Hide Description

Sputum samples were collected at all participant visits of the study for analysis of microbiology endpoints. Sputum samples were processed for qualitative and quantitative culture of PA (each morphotype).

Due to the skewness of the distribution of CFU data, the data were transformed using the base 10 logarithm, in an attempt to normalize the data and allow for parametric tests, before calculating changes. To account for zero values, 1 was added to each CFU measurement before being transformed. Any CFU data values where PA was not isolated from a valid culture were set to zero.

Hide Description

Spirometry was performed at each visit. FEV1, FVC, and FEF25-75 were recorded at all visits according to American Thoracic Society (ATS) guidelines.

FEV1 = the volume of air exhaled in 1 second. FEV1 % predicted is a normalized value of FEV1 calculated using the Knudson equation, based upon participant age, gender, and height. FVC = (forced vital capacity) the maximal volume of air exhaled with maximally forced effort from a position of maximal inspiration. FEF25-75 = forced expiratory flow from 25% to 75% of the FVC.
