Inhaled antibiotics are standard of care for persons with cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa airway infection. APT-1026 (levofloxacin inhalation solution, LIS) is fluoroquinolone in development. We compared the safety and efficacy of LIS to tobramycin inhalation solution (TIS) in persons ≥12 years old with CF and chronic P. aeruginosa infection.
This multinational, randomized (2:1), non-inferiority study compared LIS and TIS over three 28-day on/off cycles. Day 28 FEV(1) % predicted relative change was the primary endpoint. Time to exacerbation and patient-reported quality of life were among secondary endpoints.
Baseline demographics for 282 subjects were comparable. Non-inferiority was demonstrated (1.86% predicted mean FEV(1) difference [95% CI -0.66 to 4.39%]). LIS was well-tolerated, with dysgeusia (taste distortion) as the most frequent adverse event.
LIS is a safe and effective therapy for the management of CF patients with chronic P. aeruginosa infection.
吸入抗生素是囊性纤维化(CF)患者和慢性铜绿假单胞菌气道感染的标准治疗方法。APT-1026(左氧氟沙星吸入溶液,LIS)是一种正在开发的氟喹诺酮类药物。我们比较了 LIS 与妥布霉素吸入溶液(TIS)在≥12 岁 CF 患者和慢性铜绿假单胞菌感染患者中的安全性和疗效。
这项多中心、随机(2:1)、非劣效性研究比较了 LIS 和 TIS 在三个 28 天的开/关周期中的疗效。第 28 天 FEV1(1)预测值的相对变化是主要终点。恶化时间和患者报告的生活质量是次要终点之一。
282 名受试者的基线人口统计学数据相当。证明了非劣效性(1.86%预测的平均 FEV1 差异[95%CI-0.66 至 4.39%])。LIS 耐受性良好,味觉障碍(味觉扭曲)是最常见的不良事件。
LIS 是治疗 CF 患者慢性铜绿假单胞菌感染的一种安全有效的治疗方法。
