|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study in patients with non-CF bronchiectasis with positive sputum culture is to determine the effect of ciprofloxacin inhale on bacterial density, measured by decadic logarithm (log10) of reduction in colony forming units (CFUs) per gram sputum.;Secondary Objective: - To evaluate the emergence of new potential respiratory pathogens, and the emergence of resistance among baseline pathogens in those patients with persistent infection or colonization - To determine the efficacy and safety of ciprofloxacin inhale - To determine plasma and sputum concentrations of ciprofloxacin at predefined time windows at 2 specific visits during treatment from selected patients in selected centers. ;Primary end point(s): The change from baseline in total bacterial load in the sputum (specified pathogens only) until the end of treatment (4 weeks). Statistically, the main efficacy analysis will be a two-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with factors treatment group (Cipro Inhale, placebo) and center. The dependent variable will be log10(CFU+1) at the end of the 4 week treatment period; baseline log10(CFU+1) will serve as a covariate. | — |
