About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter, Phase 3 Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Tobramycin Inhalation Powder (TIP) in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Subjects

Lung infections are a chronic problem for patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Some patients with CF may have a type of bacteria called Pseudomonas aeruginosa in their lungs that can cause infections or make their symptoms worse. Tobramycin inhalation solution (TOBI) is an approved antibiotic, which is inhaled directly into the lungs, and can be used to manage these infections. Tobramycin inhalation powder (TIP) is a new, experimental powder formulation of tobramycin that is inhaled directly into the lungs using a T-326 inhaler. The purpose of this research study is to determine if TIP is safe and effective when compared to placebo (a powder with no medicine) treatment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) measured at week 1 and week 5.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Time until first antipseudomonal antibiotic (an antibiotic used to treat bacteria of a certain type [the genus pseudomonas]) is used

  2. Relative changes in FEV1 % predicted for patients who received TIP starting at visit 1 and for patients who received placebo starting at week 9, compared to all subsequent visits.

  3. Relative change in FEV1 % predicted for patients who received placebo from week 5 to week 13

  4. Relative change in FEV1 % predicted for patients who received placebo (from the average of four assessments [weeks 1, 2, 5, and 9] to week 13)

  5. Change from baseline in susceptibility of pseudomonas to the antibiotic during the study measured at weeks 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, and 25, and change from baseline in quantity of pseudomonas found in sputum during the study measured at weeks 5, 9, 13, 17, 21,

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Tobramycin Inhalation Powder in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Novartis at 41 sites in 8 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Oct 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 41 sites in United States, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Argentina and 3 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: per Data Monitoring Committee recommendation). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) measured at week 1 and week 5.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Oct 2011.
