About this study
Official title: : A Phase III Multicenter, Randomized, Parallel Group, Controlled, Double Blind Study to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of Inhaled Mannitol Over 12 Months in the Treatment of Bronchiectasis.
No gold standard therapy exists for clearing mucus from the airways of patients with bronchiectasis. While rhDNase has a proven place in the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF), it failed to improve Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) in a short-term non-CF bronchiectasis study and has been shown to be detrimental after 6 months therapy in non CF bronchiectasis, moreover it has no proven effect on mucociliary clearance. Hypertonic saline has been shown to have a comparable mode of action to inhaled mannitol, but has yet to be examined as a long term treatment option in bronchiectasis.
The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy and safety of 52 weeks treatment with inhaled mannitol in subjects with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. Previous studies with inhaled mannitol have demonstrated improvement in mucociliary clearance; mucus rehydration; improvement in quality of life and respiratory symptoms in patients with bronchiectasis and pulmonary function in cystic fibrosis. The results of this current study in combination with a recently completed 3 month study seek to confirm these early findings and to extend the evidence to support its use as a mucoactive therapy in subjects with bronchiectasis.

We hypothesize that mannitol will improve the overall health and hygiene of the lung through regular and effective clearing of the mucus load. As a consequence of the reduction in mucus load and inflammatory process, the frequency of bronchiectasis related pulmonary exacerbations and the need for exacerbation related antibiotic treatment should fall. Days in hospital and community health care costs are expected to change in line with improvements in respiratory health.
Finally, we plan to demonstrate that inhaled mannitol is safe and well tolerated over a 52 week period. We will test these hypotheses using 400 mg mannitol twice daily (BD) against control.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Rate of Graded Pulmonary Exacerbations
A graded pulmonary exacerbation was defined as a worsening in signs and symptoms requiring a change in treatment (Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), 2007). Grade I was required 3 main signs and symptoms, Grade II 2 main signs and symptoms and Grade III 1 main and one or more minor signs and symptoms. Main signs and symptoms were increased cough, sputum volume or sputum purulence. Minor were upper respiratory tract infection, fever, increased wheezing, increased dyspnea, increase in respiratory rate, increase in cardiac frequency of >20%, and increased malaise, fatigue or lethargy. Rate is defined as the number of all GPE events observed in one treatment year
Measured: 52 weeks
Secondary outcomes (14)
Quality of Life as Measured by the St. Georges Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Total Score
The SGRQ was collected at baseline, week 6, week 16, week 28, week 40 and week 52. Change in total score was calculated from baseline. Total scores are a weighted sum across all questions. Scores are expressed as a percentage of overall impairment where 100 represents worst possible health status and 0 indicates best possible health status. Higher scores indicate lower quality of life. Outcome data table gives the raw mean total score at each visit.
Measured: 52 weeks
Antibiotic Use Prescribed for Treated Pulmonary Exacerbations
Rate of antibiotic treated graded pulmonary exacerbations, using the same definition of a graded pulmonary exacerbation as the primary endpoint. A graded pulmonary exacerbation was considered to be anti-biotic treated if use of oral, IV or inhaled antibiotic use was recorded related to the GPE event.
Measured: 52 weeks
Time to First Graded Exacerbation
Time to first graded exacerbation is defined as the duration (in months) from the randomisation date to the start of the first reported graded PE during the on-treatment period. Patients without reported graded PE event will be censored at the last participation.
Measured: 52 weeks
Duration of Graded Exacerbations
Duration of graded exacerbations is defined as the number of days with graded PE within one treatment year. Mean days estimated via negative binomial model with treatment, region and baseline pulmonary exacerbation rate as predictors, with log of follow-up time as the offset variable
Measured: 52 weeks
Sputum Volume
24 hour sputum weight, measured at baseline, week 6, week 16, week 28, week 40, week 52
Measured: 52 weeks
Daytime Sleepiness Scores
Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score was calculated as the sum of scores for each of eight individual questions, such that a total score of zero represents no daytime sleepiness, and a total score of 24 represents the maximum degree of daytime sleepiness. Measured at baseline, 6 weeks, 16 weeks, 28 weeks, 40 weeks, 52 weeks
Measured: 52 weeks
Lung Function - Change in FEV1 (Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second)
Measured: 52 weeks
Lung Function - Change in FVC (Forced Vital Capacity)
Measured: 52 weeks
Lung Function - Change in FEV1/FVC
FEV1 expressed as a ratio of FVC. Endpoint is expressed as a percentage ie FEV1/FVC*100
Measured: 52 weeks
Lung Function - Change in FEF25-75 (Forced Expiratory Flow Rate Averaged Over 25th -75th Percentile of FVC)
Measured: 52 weeks
Safety Profile - Sputum Microbiology
sputum microbiology assessed as the presence of abnormal flora in sputum sample taken at any post baseline visit
Measured: 52 weeks
Safety Profile - Clinical Chemistry
Clinical chemistry was assessed as clinically significant abnormal liver function test and clinically significant abnormal urea/electrolyte test at any point post baseline.
Measured: 52 weeks
Safety Profile - Hematology
hematology assessed as clinically significant abnormal FBC (Full Blood count) at any point post baseline.
Measured: 52 weeks
• (Exploratory) Number of Hospitalizations Due to Pulmonary Exacerbations
Mean rate of hospitalisations (number/year) summarised and analysed to take account of differing follow-up times.
Measured: 52 weeks

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
No gold standard therapy exists for clearing mucus from the airways of patients with bronchiectasis. While rhDNase has a proven place in the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF), it failed to improve Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) in a short-term non-CF bronchiectasis study and has been shown to be detrimental after 6 months therapy in non CF bronchiectasis, moreover it has no proven effect on mucociliary clearance. Hypertonic saline has been shown to have a comparable mode of action to inhaled mannitol, but has yet to be examined as a long term treatment option in bronchiectasis.
The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy and safety of 52 weeks treatment with inhaled mannitol in subjects with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. Previous studies with inhaled mannitol have demonstrated improvement in mucociliary clearance; mucus rehydration; improvement in quality of life and respiratory symptoms in patients with bronchiectasis and pulmonary function in cystic fibrosis. The results of this current study in combination with a recently completed 3 month study seek to confirm these early findings and to extend the evidence to support its use as a mucoactive therapy in subjects with bronchiectasis.
We hypothesize that mannitol will improve the overall health and hygiene of the lung through regular and effective clearing of the mucus load. As a consequence of the reduction in mucus load and inflammatory process, the frequency of bronchiectasis related pulmonary exacerbations and the need for exacerbation related antibiotic treatment should fall. Days in hospital and community health care costs are expected to change in line with improvements in respiratory health.
Finally, we plan to demonstrate that inhaled mannitol is safe and well tolerated over a 52 week period. We will test these hypotheses using 400 mg mannitol twice daily (BD) against control.
