Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetics and safety of inhaled vancomycin in patients with cystic fibrosis.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Cystic Fibrosis Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Drug: Vancomycin Phase 1

Detailed Description:
The prevalence of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) respiratory infection in patients with cystic fibrosis has increased dramatically over the last decade. Epidemiologic evidence suggests that persistent infection with MRSA may result in an increased rate of decline in FEV1 and shortened survival. Treatment of MRSA is a top priority. Inhaled antibiotics offer the advantage of high concentrations of antibiotic at the site of infection (the airway) while minimizing systemic side effects. Vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic that has activity against MRSA. Anecdotal and retrospective peer-reviewed studies have demonstrated that inhaled vancomycin is safe and potentially effective in patients with cystic fibrosis and MRSA airway infection. Data evaluating the pharmacokinetics of vancomycin in sputum are needed before pursuing treatment trials.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Vancomycin for Inhalation
250 mg vancomycin in 5cc sterile water will be inhaled once. Patients will use a Pari Sprint nebulizer and Pari Vios compressor as the delivery system.
 Drug: Vancomycin
250 mg vancomycin in 5cc sterile water will be inhaled once. Patients will use a Pari Sprint nebulizer and Pari Vios compressor as the delivery system.
Other Names:
  • Nebulized vancomycin
  • Inhaled Vancomycin
  • Vancomycin for inhalation
  • Aerosolized Vancomycin


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

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Area Under Curve (AUC) [ Time Frame: Predose, 5 minutes, one hour, 2 hours, and 6 hours after completion of 250mg of inhaled vancomycin ]
    Pharmacokinetic analysis will be performed with non-compartmental methods. The area under the curve for sputum vancomycin will be determined.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in FEV1% Predicted [ Time Frame: 30 minutes ]
    Change in FEV1% predicted from baseline to 30 minutes after completion of inhaled vancomycin

  2. Change in Patient Symptoms [ Time Frame: 6 hours ]
    Patient's respiratory symptoms and potential side effects from inhaling vancomycin will be queried using a questionnaire prior to inhaling vancomycin, at 15 ±10 minutes, and 4 ± 1 hour after completing inhaled vancomycin.

  3. Change in Sputum Cell Counts [ Time Frame: 6 hours ]
    Change in sputum cell counts (i.e. eosinophils) between baseline and six hours after completion of inhaled vancomycin.

  4. Serum Vancomycin Peak Concentration [ Time Frame: 60 minutes ]
    Serum vancomycin peak concentration 60 minutes after completion of inhaled vancomycin.

  5. Oxygen Saturation [ Time Frame: 5 minutes ]
    Continuous oxygen saturation monitoring to be continued throughout vancomycin inhalation and for 5 minutes after inhalation

  6. Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 6 hours ]
    Information regarding occurrence of adverse events will be captured throughout the study. Duration (start and stop times), severity/grade, outcome, treatment and relation to study medication will be recorded

  7. Maximum Concentration [ Time Frame: Predose, 5 minutes, one hour, 2 hours, and 6 hours after completion of 250mg of inhaled vancomycin ]
    Pharmacokinetic analysis will be performed with non-compartmental methods. The maximum concentration of sputum vancomycin will be determined.

  8. Time to Peak Concentration [ Time Frame: Predose, 5 minutes, one hour, 2 hours, and 6 hours after completion of 250mg of inhaled vancomycin ]
    Pharmacokinetic analysis will be performed with non-compartmental methods. The time to peak concentration for sputum vancomycin will be determined.
