What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study drug, whether or not related to study drug.

    Measured: From time of first administration of study drug until study completion (up to 169 days)

  2. Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    A SAE was defined as an event which was fatal or life threatening, required or prolonged hospitalization, was significantly or permanently disabling or incapacitating, constituted a congenital anomaly or a birth defect, or encompassed any other clinically significant event that could jeopardize the participant or require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the aforementioned outcomes.

    Measured: From time of consent to 4 weeks after study completion (up to 199 days)

  3. Percentage of Participants With a Decrease of ≥20% in Forced Expiratory Value in One Second (FEV1) Percent (%) Predicted From Pre-dose to 30-minute Post-dose

    Airway Reactivity >= 20% relative decrease in FEV1% predicted from pre-dose to 30 minutes post-dose. Relative Change = 100 * (30 minutes Post-dose - Pre-dose)/Pre-dose assessed by the number and percentage of participants with a decrease of ≥ 20% in FEV1 % predicted from pre-dose to 30 minutes post-dose.

    Measured: Pre-dose and post-dose of Day 1 and Day 29 of every Cycle (5, 6, 7)

  4. Percentage of Participants With Frequency Decrease From Baseline in the Post-baseline Audiology Tests

    Auditory acuity of participants was measured using a standard dual-channel audiometer at frequencies from 250 to 8000 Hertz, and an audiogram (pure-tone air conduction) and tympanogram were performed by an audiologist. The categories reported includes >= 10dB decrease in 3 consecutive frequencies in either ear, >= 15dB decrease in 2 consecutive frequencies in either ear, and >= 20dB decrease in at least one frequency in either ear

    Measured: Cycles 5, 6, 7 (Days 1, 29) and Follow-up (Week 57/Day 57)

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Relative Change From Baseline of Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) Percent Predicted to Each Post-baseline Visit

    Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced exhalation. FEV1 % predicted was a normalized value of FEV1 calculated using the Knudsen equation, based upon participant's age, gender and height. Relative change in FEV1 % predicted from baseline to pre-dose day X = ((pre-dose day X FEV1 % predicted - baseline FEV1 % predicted) / baseline FEV1 % predicted) x 100.

    Measured: Baseline, Cycles 5, 6, 7 (Days 1, 29) and Follow-up (Week 57/Day 57)

  2. Relative Change From Baseline of Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) Percent Predicted to Each Post-baseline Visit

    Percent Predicted Forced Vital Capacity (FVC%) is the maximal exhaled breath volume following a maximal inhaled breath. Overall change in percent predicted FVC = (observed value)/(predicted value) * 100%. A higher value indicates a greater response.

    Measured: Baseline, Cycles 5, 6, 7 (Days 1, 29) and Follow-up (Week 57/Day 57)

  3. Relative Change From Baseline of Forced Expiratory Flow Rate Over 25 and 75 Percent (FEF25-75%) Predicted to Each Post-baseline Visit

    Forced Expiratory Flow Rate Over 25 and 75 Percent (FEF25-75%) is the forced expiratory flow from 25% to 75% of the Forced Vital Capacity (FVC). Relative change in FEF25-75% from baseline to pre-dose day X = (pre-dose day X FEF25-75 - baseline FEF25-75) / baseline FEF25-75) • 100.

    Measured: Baseline, Cycles 5, 6, 7 (Days 1, 29) and Follow-up (Week 57/Day 57)

  4. Change From Baseline in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Sputum Density to Each Post-baseline Visit

    Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Density refers to overall density, defined as the sum of Biotypes (mucoid, dry and small colony variant). Absolute change was determined using the formula; Change = Post-baseline value- baseline value. Absolute Change in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Sputum density is measured in log 10 Colony Forming Units per gram (Log 10 CFU/g).

    Measured: Baseline, Cycles 5, 6, 7 (Days 1, 29) and Follow-up (Week 57/Day 57)

  5. Change From Baseline in Tobramycin Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) Values for Pseudomonas Aeruginosa to Each Post-baseline Visit

    Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) is defined as the lowest concentration of an antimicrobial agent required to inhibit the visible growth of a microorganism after overnight incubation.

    Measured: Baseline, Cycles 5, 6, 7 (Days 1, 29) and Follow-up (Week 57/Day 57)

  6. Number of Participants Who Used New Antipseudomonal Antibiotic During Treatment Period

    The rate of anti-pseudomonal antibiotics use were determined from the collection of concomitant medication during the study Treatment period.

    Measured: Baseline, Cycles 5, 6, 7 (Days 1, 29)

  7. Percentage of Participants With Hospitalization Due to Respiratory Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    A SAE was defined as an event which was fatal or life threatening, required or prolonged hospitalization, was significantly or permanently disabling or incapacitating, constituted a congenital anomaly or a birth defect, or encompassed any other clinically significant event that could jeopardize the participant or require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the aforementioned outcomes.

    Measured: From time of consent to 4 weeks after study completion (up to 199 days)

  8. Number of Days of Hospitalization Due to Respiratory Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    The average number of days patients were hospitalized due to respiratory events during the study.

    Measured: From time of consent to 4 weeks after study completion (up to 199 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Tobramycin inhalation powder in people with Pulmonary Infections and Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 17 sites in 7 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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in Russia, Bulgaria, Estonia, Lithuania, Romania and 2 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Jun 2021). 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?

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: From time of first administration of study drug until study completion (up to 169 days)). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01069705, 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.

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 2 Jun 2021.
