About this study

Official title: Standardizing Treatments for Pulmonary Exacerbations: A Platform for Evaluating Treatment Decisions to Improve Outcomes (STOP360) Aminoglycoside Study (AG Study)

The purpose of this study is to look at pulmonary exacerbations in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) that need to be treated with antibiotics given through a tube inserted into a vein (intravenous or IV). A pulmonary exacerbation is a worsening of respiratory symptoms in people with CF that needs medical intervention. Both doctors and CF patients are trying to understand the best way to treat pulmonary exacerbations. This study is trying to answer the following questions about treating a pulmonary exacerbation:

  • Do participants have the same improvement in lung function and symptoms if they are treated with one type of antibiotic (called beta-lactams or β-lactams) versus taking two different types of antibiotics (tobramycin and β-lactams)?
  • Is taking one type of antibiotic just as good as taking two types?
Read the detailed description

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) treatment guidelines for the management of pulmonary exacerbations (PEx) identified evidence gaps in current clinical best practices. The STOP program offers a platform for the conduct of controlled trials to develop the evidence base in order to define clinical best practices. The interventional Aminoglycoside Study (AG Study) will be a prospective, multi-center, parallel group, randomized (1:1 ratio), open-label, superiority study of intravenous aminoglycoside and β-lactams versus intravenous β-lactams only. Randomization will occur at Visit 1. The primary objective of this platform trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of differing treatments in CF PEx during a planned 14 day course of IV antimicrobials. Primary efficacy will be evaluated as the difference in mean Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (ppFEV1) changes from Visit 1 to Visit 2 (Day 28 ± 2 days) between intervention arms.

What participants receive

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

  • Beta-lactam antibioticDrug

    Also called β-lactam

    Intravenous (IV) β-lactam will be selected by the treating physician following standard of care. Treatment will last for 14 days (± 2 days).

  • AminoglycosideDrug

    Also called AG

    Intravenous (IV) aminoglycoside will be selected by the treating physician following standard of care. Treatment will last for 14 days (± 2 days).

β-lactam Only (Non-AG)OtherParticipants randomized to this arm will be prescribed a standard of care intravenous (IV) β-lactam as selected by their treating physician. Treatment must not include an IV aminoglycoside.

Receives: Drug: Beta-lactam antibiotic; Drug: Aminoglycoside

What is being measured

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

  1. Absolute Change in FEV1 % Predicted at Week 4 in Aminoglycoside (AG) Study

    Difference between aminoglycoside (AG) study intervention arms (AG - Non-AG) in the absolute change in FEV1 % predicted from Week 0 (Day 0) to Week 4 (Day 28 ± 2 days)

    Measured: Four weeks

  2. Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs) in Aminoglycoside (AG) Study Intervention Arms

    Difference between aminoglycoside (AG) study intervention arms (AG - Non-AG) in the proportion of participants with at least one AE from Week 0 (Day 0) to Week 6 (Day 44 ± 2 days).

    Measured: Six Weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Absolute Change in CFRSD-CRISS Score at Week 4 in Aminoglycoside (AG) Study

    Difference between aminoglycoside (AG) study intervention arms (AG - Non-AG) in the absolute change in respiratory symptoms, as measured by the CF Respiratory Symptoms Diary-Chronic Respiratory Infection Symptom Score (CFRSD-CRISS) from Week 0 (Day 0) to Week 4 (Day 28 ± 2 days). The CFRSD-CRISS is derived from a set of questions asking a participant to state the extent of their 8 respiratory symptoms: difficulty breathing, feverishness, tiredness, chills or sweats, coughing, coughing up mucus, tightness in the chest and wheezing. Each respiratory symptom is assigned a score from 0-4 based on the response, with zero corresponding to the absence of the symptom and four corresponding to symptom being present 'a great deal' or 'extremely'. A summed score (range from 0-24) is calculated for each participant and converted to a final score with a range of 0 to 100, where the lowest scores indicate improvement of symptoms.

    Measured: Four weeks

The aminoglycoside study will compare treatment of an IV β-lactam and aminoglycoside (AG) versus an IV β-lactam only (non-AG). Individuals will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 fashion to receive either the AG or non-AG intervention for a planned 14 day course of IV antibiotics. IV antibiotic treatments for each intervention arm will be selected by the treating physician following standard of care.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Beta-lactam antibiotic and Aminoglycoside in people with Cystic Fibrosis and Cystic Fibrosis Pulmonary Exacerbation, run by Chris Goss at 60 sites in 2 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 4 inclusion and 6 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 60 sites in United States, 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 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Rachael Buckingham, BS (206-884-7517, Rachael.buckingham@seattlechildrens.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Absolute Change in FEV1 % Predicted at Week 4 in Aminoglycoside (AG) Study (time frame: Four weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 8 Jul 2026.
