What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TOBIDrug

    New inhalation devices such as the podhaler can administer tobramycin inhalation powder TIP/TOBI and achieve very high sputum drug levels. TOBI will be administered using the Podhaler

What is being measured

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

  1. The Change in Sputum Density of BCC in Colony Forming Units (CFUs)/ml From Day 0 to Day 28 of TIP Treatment.

    The change in sputum density of BCC in colony forming units (CFUs)/ml from day 0 to day 28 of TIP treatment. Sputum density was calculated by doing serial dilutions of sputum on agar plates and counting colony forming units expressed per ml.

    Measured: 0 to 28 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The Change in Pulmonary Function Tests, Including Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1), Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and Maximal Mid-expiratory Flow Rate (FEF25-75), Measured at Day 0 and Day 28 of TIP Treatment.

    The main lung function measure was relative change in FEV1 from day 0 to Day 28 reported as %.

    Measured: 0 to 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TOBI in people with Cystic Fibrosis and Burkholderia Cepacia Infection, run by Unity Health Toronto at 2 sites in Canada.

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 6 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 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Canada. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 4 Nov 2020). 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?

The Change in Sputum Density of BCC in Colony Forming Units (CFUs)/ml From Day 0 to Day 28 of TIP Treatment. (time frame: 0 to 28 days). 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 NCT02212587, 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 Nov 2020.
