About this study

Official title: A Multicentre, Multinational, Open-Label, Randomised, Parallel Group Clinical Trial of Tobrineb®/Actitob®/Bramitob® (Tobramycin Solution for Nebulisation, 300mg Twice Daily in 4mL Unit Dose Vials) Compared to TOBI® in the Treatment of Patients With Cystic Fibrosis and Chronic Infection With Pseudomonas Aeruginosa

The objectives of the study are to demonstrate that Tobrineb®/Actitob®/Bramitob® is non-inferior to TOBI® in the primary efficacy variable, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) percent of predicted normal, and to compare the safety in participants with cystic fibrosis and chronic infection of the lungs with Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline to End of the Treatment Period of Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1), Expressed as Percentage of Predicted Normal

    Pulmonary function measurements were performed by using a self-calibrated computer-operated pneumotochographic spirometer at all clinic visits. Because this study included both adults and children and lung volume is an age-dependent variable, reference normal FEV1 values for children were different than the reference normal values used with adult participants. Three measurements were collected and the greatest FEV1 value was recorded.

    Measured: Day 0 (baseline), Week 4

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. Change From Baseline to End of Weeks 2, 4, and 8 of Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1), Expressed as Percentage of Predicted Normal

    Pulmonary function measurements were performed by using a self-calibrated computer-operated pneumotochographic spirometer at all clinic visits. Because this study included both adults and children and lung volume is an age-dependent variable, reference normal FEV1 values for children were different than the reference normal values used with adult participants. Three measurements were collected and the greatest FEV1 value was recorded. Observed values are summarized (without last observation carry forward).

    Measured: Day 0 (baseline), Week 2, Week 4, Week 8

  2. Change From Baseline to End of Weeks 2, 4, and 8 of Absolute Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1)

    Pulmonary function measurements were performed by using a self-calibrated computer-operated pneumotochographic spirometer at all clinic visits. Three measurements were collected and the greatest FEV1 value was recorded. Observed values are summarized (without last observation carry forward).

    Measured: Day 0 (baseline), Week 2, Week 4, Week 8

  3. Change From Baseline at End of Weeks 2, 4, and 8 of Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) Expressed as Percentage of Predicted Normal

    FVC is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. It is measured via spirometry. Because this study included both adults and children and lung volume is an age-dependent variable, reference normal FVC values for children were different than the reference normal values used with adult participants.

    Measured: Day 0 (baseline), Week 2, Week 4, Week 8

  4. Change From Baseline to End of Weeks 2, 4, and 8 of Absolute Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)

    FVC is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. It is measured via spirometry.

    Measured: Day 0 (baseline), Week 2, Week 4, Week 8

  5. Change From Baseline to End of Weeks 2, 4, and 8 of Forced Expiratory Flow at 25-75% of Vital Capacity (FEF 25-75%), Expressed as Percentage of Predicted Normal

    Difference in the forced expiratory flow rate in mid-exhalation as a percent of predicted to standard values measured from baseline to weeks 2 (treated), 4 (treated), and 8 (untreated). Because this study included both adults and children and lung volume is an age-dependent variable, reference normal FEF 25-75% values for children were different than the reference normal values used with adult participants.

    Measured: Day 0 (baseline), Week 2, Week 4, Week 8

  6. Change From Baseline to End of Weeks 2, 4, and 8 of Forced Expiratory Flow at 25-75% of Vital Capacity (FEF 25-75%)

    Difference in the forced expiratory flow rate in mid-exhalation measured from baseline to weeks 2 (treated), 4 (treated), and 8 (untreated).

    Measured: Day 0 (baseline), Week 2, Week 4, Week 8

  7. Change From Baseline to End of Weeks 4 and 8 in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Log10 Bacterial Load in Sputum

    If a participant had more than one Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) morphotype at a given visit, and therefore more than one bacterial load value, then the bacterial load value corresponding to the highest tobramycin minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) value regardless of the PA morphotype was used. If the tobramycin MIC value was the same for different PA morphotypes, then the bacterial load value corresponding to morphotype 1 (mucoid colony) was used. If morphotype 1 was not available, bacterial load value corresponding to morphotype 2 (dry colony) was used.

    Measured: Day -10 to -1 (baseline), Week 4, Week 8

  8. Minimal Inhibitory Concentration Inhibiting Growth of 50% (MIC50) of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa

    MIC50 is the concentration of tobramycin required to inhibit 50% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. MIC values were calculated for three different Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) strains:

    • Morphotype 1: mucoid
    • Morphotype 2: dry
    • Morphotype 3: variant

    Overall MIC50 values are reported. If a participant has more than one PA morphotype at a given visit, then the highest tobramycin MIC value was used, regardless of PA morphotype. If a participant has more than one available result for each morphotype then the highest tobramycin MIC value was used. If the tobramycin MIC values are equal then the MIC value for the isolate with the highest bacterial load value was used.

    Measured: Week 4, Week 8

  9. Minimal Inhibitory Concentration Inhibiting Growth of 90% (MIC90) of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa

    MIC90 is the concentration of tobramycin required to inhibit 90% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. MIC values were calculated for three different Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) strains:

    • Morphotype 1: mucoid
    • Morphotype 2: dry
    • Morphotype 3: variant

    Overall MIC90 values are reported. If a participant has more than one PA morphotype at a given visit, then the highest tobramycin MIC value was used, regardless of PA morphotype. If a participant has more than one available result for each morphotype then the highest tobramycin MIC value was used. If the tobramycin MIC values are equal then the MIC value for the isolate with the highest bacterial load value was used.

    Measured: Week 4, Week 8

  10. Microbiological Outcome Summary by Visit

    Microbiological outcomes are derived considering all P. aeruginosa (PA) morphotypes together.

    Week 4 and Week 8 microbiological outcomes:

    • Eradication = elimination of PA
    • Persistence = persistence of PA detected at previous visit
    • Superinfection = appearance of a pathogen (other than PA) not detected at previous visit
    • Re-infection (week 8 only) = re-appearance of PA detected at Screening and eradicated at Week 4

    Superinfection supersedes eradication. Persistence for P. aeruginosa supersedes superinfection.

    Re-infection for P. aeruginosa supersedes superinfection.

    Measured: Day -10 to -1 (screening), Weeks 4 and 8

  11. Change From Baseline to End of Weeks 2, 4 and 8 in Body Weight

    Body weight was measured at all study visits as part of the physical examination.

    Measured: Day 0 (baseline), Weeks 2, 4 and 8

  12. Change From Baseline to End of Weeks 2, 4 and 8 in Body Mass Index (BMI)

    Measured: Day 0 (baseline), Weeks 2, 4 and 8

  13. Count of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events defined as adverse events occurring after the first intake of study treatment (or the same day).

    The investigator assessed relation to study treatment as a binary question: Reasonable possibility of relatedness or no reasonable possibility of relatedness. The expression "reasonable possibility of relatedness" is meant to convey in general that there are facts (evidence) or arguments meant to suggest a causal relationship.

    A serious AE results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing inpatient hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect or an important medical event.

    The investigator rates the severity of the AE based on a three point scale: mild, moderate or severe. A severe event prevents any usual routine activity of the participant and causes severe discomfort.

    Measured: Day 0 to Week 8

  14. Participants With a Hearing Threshold >20 Decibel in at Least One Ear

    The potential ototoxic effects (hearing loss) of tobramycin were investigated by performing audiometric tests. Participants with a loss of auditory acuity greater than the 20 decibels auditory threshold are reported.

    Measured: Day -10 to -1 (screening), Weeks 4 and 8

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Jun 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change From Baseline to End of the Treatment Period of Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1), Expressed as Percentage of Predicted Normal (time frame: Day 0 (baseline), Week 4). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00885365, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
