Evaluation of Cipro Inhale in Patients With Non-cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis

Bronchiectasis Clinical Trial

Official title: Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind, Multi-center Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Ciprofloxacin Inhale Compared to Placebo in Patients With Non-cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out if bacterial load in the airways can be reduced after inhalation of ciprofloxacin for 28 days.

Clinical Trial Description

Safety issues are addressed in the AE section. There is no standardised and unanimously accepted definition of exacerbation in COPD; 4 definitions are widely used: (1) using a combination of 3 cardinal symptoms: increased dyspnea, sputum volume, and sputum purulence; (2) looking at the presence of the following patterns of symptoms during >=2 consecutive days: either 2 or more of 3 major symptoms (increase in dyspnoea, sputum volume and sputum purulence); or any 1 major symptom together with any 1 minor symptom (increase in nasal discharge, wheeze, sore throat, cough or fever); (3) a sustained worsening of the patient's condition, from the stable state and beyond normal day-to-day variations, that is acute in onset and necessitates a change in regular medication in a patient with underlying COPD; (4) a complex of respiratory events (i.e. cough, wheezing, dyspnoea or sputum production) lasting >=3 days. ;
