About this study

Official title: Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Oral Ciproxin Plus Inhaled Colistin With Tobramycin for Inhalation for Eradication of P Aeruginosa Infection in Children With Cystic Fibrosis.

Treatment of new Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) infection in cystic fibrosis (CF) can postpone chronic infection. Aim of the study: compare 2 Pa eradication regimens in children with new Pa infection.

Read the detailed description

Methods: CF children (0-18 years) with a new isolation of Pa from the airway were randomized to tobramycin inhalation solution (TOBI® 2x300 mg for 28 days) (TIS) or inhaled colistimethate sodium (Colistineb® 2x2 mill U daily) plus oral ciprofloxacin (30mg/kg/day) for 3 months (CC). The primary outcome was eradication at end of treatment. Secondary outcome parameters were time to Pa relapse, total and Pa specific IgG, FEV1, BMI and Pa status.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pseudomonas aeruginosa eradication at the end of the treatment.

    sucessful eradication is defined as negative airway culture for P aeruginosa and end of study drug which is after 3 months for ciproxin-colistin (CC) and after 1 months for tobramycin for inhalation (TIS)

    Measured: end of study drug treatment ie 3 months for CC and at 1 months for TIS

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. P aeruginosa eradication at 6 months after study entry

    negative airway cultures for P aeruginosa up to 6 months after start of study drug

    Measured: 6 months

  2. time to new Pa positive culture (= relapse)

    Time to first new P aeruginosa positive airway culture (expressed in months starting from end of study drug)

    Measured: 1 year

  3. change from baseline FEV1% pred, IgG z score, BMI z score was followed

    Evolution of lung function (expressed as FEV1% pred), total IgG and nutritional status (expressed as BMI z score) from start of study up to 1 year

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Antibody titer for specific anti Pseudomonas antibodies

    Pa antibodies (ELISA St Ag 1-17 )were measured at baseline and at 1 year follow-up

    Measured: 1 year

  5. P aeruginosa infection status

    P aeruginosa infection status was reported as 'Free off', 'Intermittent' or 'Chronic' according to the Leeds criteria after 1 and 2 years.

    (ref Leeds criteria: Lee TW, Brownlee KG, Conway SP, et al. Evaluation of a new definition for chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in cystic fibrosis patients. J Cyst Fibros 2003;2(1):29-34)

    Measured: 1 year

  6. P aeruginosa infection status

    P aeruginosa infection status was reported as 'Free off', 'Intermittent' or 'Chronic' according to the Leeds criteria after 1 and 2 years.

    (ref Leeds criteria: Lee TW, Brownlee KG, Conway SP, et al. Evaluation of a new definition for chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in cystic fibrosis patients. J Cyst Fibros 2003;2(1):29-34)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing oral ciprofloxacin plus inhaled colistin and TOBI in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven at 1 site in Belgium.

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 5 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 4 Aug 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Belgium. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Pseudomonas aeruginosa eradication at the end of the treatment. (time frame: end of study drug treatment ie 3 months for CC and at 1 months for TIS). 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 NCT01400750, 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 4 Aug 2011.
