International Safety and Efficacy Study of Aztreonam for Inhalation Solution (AZLI) in Cystic Fibrosis Patients With P. Aeruginosa

CF patients often have lung infections that occur repeatedly or worsen over time. The lung infections are often caused by a bacteria called Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA). Treatment with antibiotics can stop or slow down the growth of the bacteria. The antibiotics may be given by mouth, intravenously (IV), or by inhalation as a mist. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AZLI, an investigational formulation of the antibiotic aztreonam and administered TID using the PARI eFlow® electronic nebulizer, in CF patients with PA. In this study, participant eligibility was assessed at a screening visit 7 to 14 days prior to the baseline visit (Day 0). Those participants who continued to meet eligibility criteria at Day 0 were randomized and began a 28-day course of blinded study treatment (AZLI TID or placebo TID). Participants returned for clinic visits at Day 14, an end of treatment visit at Day 28, and a follow-up visit 14 days after the last dose of study drug (Day 42).
