NCT03093974

Brief Summary

The objective of the trial was to investigate the effect of the use of inhaled CMS, administered b.i.d. via a specific nebuliser for 12 months, compared to placebo in subjects with NCFB chronically infected with P. aeruginosa on the annualised frequency of pulmonary exacerbations.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Mean Annual Non-cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis (NCFB) Pulmonary Exacerbation Rate

    The primary efficacy assessment for an individual subject was the frequency of pulmonary exacerbations (exacerbation rate). A pulmonary exacerbation was defined as the presence concurrently of at least three of the following eight symptoms/signs for at least 24 hours: * increased cough; * increased sputum volume and/or consistency; * increased sputum purulence; * new or increased haemoptysis; * increased wheezing; * increased dyspnoea; * increased fatigue/malaise; * episodes of fever (temperature ≥38°C). AND It was clinically determined that the subject required and was prescribed systemic antibiotic therapy. AND The episode of exacerbation lasted for at least 24 hours. The overall episode of exacerbation needs to last at least 24 hours, but individual symptoms/signs can last less than 24 hours (e.g, a temperature). AND in the opinion of the Investigator, the subject required and started treatment with systemic antibiotics.

    12 months

Study Arms (2)

CMS (Colimesthate sodium)

EXPERIMENTAL

Inhaled colistimethate sodium twice daily. The active pharmaceutical ingredient consisting of pure CMS one million international units (MIU) / 80 mg of CMS / 33 mg colistin base activity (CBA) was provided as a powder for nebuliser solution in 10R International Organization for Standardization (ISO) glass vials.

Drug: CMS

Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Saline solution inhaled twice daily, provided and administered at the same way of the IMP.

Other: Placebo

Interventions

CMSDRUG

1 MIU equivalent to 80 mg colistimethate sodium diluted in 1 mL saline solution 0.45%. Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) glass vials were shrink wrapped in opaque white plastic and provided in boxes of 30 vials (two weeks of b.i.d dosing). The 1 MIU/mL CMS/0.45% saline solution was transferred from the glass vial into a specific nebuliser system fitted with a 0.3 mL medication chamber, for administration by inhalation. This delivered a nominal dose of 0.3 MIU/24 mg CMS (\~10 mg CBA) from the device. The first dose of the IMP was administered at the site under the supervision of the site staff and subjects were instructed how to prepare and self-administer the IMP at home via a specific nebuliser system, b.i.d (morning and evening) over a period of 12 months. At least 10 minutes (min) before each administration, an inhaled short-acting bronchodilator (e.g., salbutamol /albuterol), supplied by the Sponsor, could be taken to improve tolerability.

Also known as: Colistimethate Sodium
CMS (Colimesthate sodium)
PlaceboOTHER

1 ml saline solution 0.45%. the placebo was made up of identical empty glass vials to which the same saline diluent was added in exactly the same way as the reconstitution of the active treatment by injecting the diluent through the rubber stopper. The glass vials were shrink wrapped with opaque white plastic to maintain the blind.

  • aged 18 years or older of either gender;
  • diagnosed with NCFB by computerised tomography (CT) or high resolution CT (HRCT) as recorded in the subject's notes and this is their predominant condition being treated;
  • had at least 2 NCFB pulmonary exacerbations requiring oral or inhaled antibiotics or 1 NCFB pulmonary exacerbation requiring intravenous antibiotics in the 12 months preceding the Screening Visit (Visit 1) and had no NCFB pulmonary exacerbation with or without treatment during the period between Visit 1 and Visit 2;
  • have a documented history of P. aeruginosa infection ;
  • are clinically stable and have not required a change in pulmonary treatment for at least 30 days before the Screening Visit (Visit 1);
  • have pre-bronchodilator FEV1 ≥25% of predicted;
  • had a positive sputum culture for P. aeruginosa from an adequate sample taken at the Screening Visit (Visit 1) or during the screening period.

You may not qualify if:

  • known bronchiectasis as a consequence of cystic fibrosis (CF);
  • known history of hypogammaglobulinaemia requiring treatment with immunoglobulin, unless fully replaced and considered immuno-competent by the Investigator;
  • myasthenia gravis or porphyria;
  • severe cardiovascular disease such as severe uncontrolled hypertension, ischaemic heart disease or cardiac arrhythmia and any other conditions that would confound the evaluation of safety, in the opinion of the Investigator;
  • had major surgery in the 3 months prior to Screening Visit (Visit 1) or planned inpatient major surgery during the study period;
  • receiving treatment for allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA);
  • had massive haemoptysis (greater than or equal to 300 mL or requiring blood transfusion) in the preceding 4 weeks before Screening Visit (Visit 1) or between Visit 1 and Visit 2;
  • respiratory failure that would compromise patient safety or confound the evaluation of safety or efficacy of the study in the opinion of the Investigator;
  • current active malignancy, except for basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin without metastases;
  • taking immunosuppressive medications (such as azathioprine, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, sirolimus, mycophenolate, rituximab), and/or anti-cytokine medications (such as anti IL-6 and anti-tumour alpha necrosis factor products) in the preceding year before the Screening Visit (Visit 1);
  • known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV);
  • current treatment for non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease or tuberculosis;
  • known or suspected to be allergic or unable to tolerate colistimethate sodium (intravenous or inhaled) or other polymixins, including previous evidence of bronchial hyperreactivity following inhaled colistimethate sodium;
  • treatment with long term (≥ 30 days) prednisone at a dose greater than 15 mg a day (or equivalent dose of any other corticosteroid) within six months of the Screening Visit (Visit 1)
  • new maintenance treatment with any oral macrolides (e.g. azithromycin/erythromycin/clarithromycin) started within 30 days of the Screening Visit (Visit 1) and between Visit 1 and Visit 2;
  • +4 more criteria
