Long Term Safety and Tolerability of Open-Label Liposomal Amikacin for Inhalation (Arikace™) in Cystic Fibrosis Patients With Chronic Infection Due to Pseudomonas Aeruginosa

Purpose / Objectives

Primary Outcome

  • Incidence of treatment emergent adverse events 
    Treatment emergent adverse events including serious adverse events and adverse events leading to permanent discontinuation of study drug
  • Relative change in FEV1 [liters] and FEV1 % predicted
  • Acute tolerability as measured by PFT changes pre- to post-dose 

Secondary Outcomes

  • Time to first protocol defined pulmonary exacerbation and proportion of subjects experiencing a protocol defined pulmonary exacerbation 
  • Time to first antipseudomonal antibiotic treatment for protocol defined pulmonary exacerbation, proportion of subjects initiating treatment and number of days of treatment 
  • Shift in minimum inhibitory concentration for Pseudomonas aeruginosa throughout the study

  • Evaluation of emergent pathogens 

Diagnosis

  • pathogenic bacteria
  • Bacterial Pneumonia
  • Cystic Fibrosis (2)

Intervention

Experimental: Arikace™

Drug: Liposomal amikacin for inhalation

  • Liposomal amikacin for inhalation is provided as a sterile aqueous liposomal dispersion for inhalation via Nebulization.
  • 560 mg of liposomal amikacin for inhalation is administrated once daily using the PARI Investigational eFlow® Nebulizer.
  • Administration time is approximately 13 minutes.
  • Liposomal amikacin for inhalation will be administered in two consecutive extension periods, each consisting of 6 cycles for a total of 12 cycles. Each cycle consists of 28 days on-treatment follow by 28 days off-treatment.
