A Phase 3 interventional study of AZLI and Placebo in Bronchiectasis, sponsored by Gilead Sciences. Completed at 60 sites in 3 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2014-04-16.
Sponsored by Gilead Sciences · Phase 3, Interventional, and Treatment
The AIR-BX1 study enrolled people with non-cystic fibrosis (non-CF) bronchiectasis and gram-negative airway infection. Participants received two 28-day courses of either Aztreonam for Inhalation Solution (AZLI) or placebo taken 3 times a day. Each course was followed by a 28-day off-drug period. Following the two blinded courses, all participants received a 28-day course of open-label AZLI then were followed for an additional 56 days.
368 studies on the registry are indexed under Bronchiectasis; 104 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 266 is above the median of 60 across 233 interventional studies indexed under Bronchiectasis.

Change in QOL-B Respiratory Symptoms Score at Day 28
The mean (SD) change in the Respiratory Symptoms score on the Quality of Life Questionnaire-Bronchiectasis (QOL-B) was measured from baseline to the end of Course 1 (Day 28). The QOL-B respiratory symptoms score was transformed onto a scale of 0-100, with higher scores representing a better quality of life.
Time frame: Baseline to Day 28
Change in QOL-B Respiratory Symptoms Score at Day 84
The mean (SD) change in the Respiratory Symptoms score on the QOL-B was measured from baseline to the end of Course 2 (Day 84). The QOL-B respiratory symptoms score was transformed onto a scale of 0-100, with higher scores representing a better quality of life.
Time frame: Baseline to Day 84
Time to Protocol-Defined Exacerbation (PDE)
Protocol-defined exacerbation was defined as an acute worsening of respiratory disease that triggered the initiation of a non-study antibiotic meeting at least 3 major criteria, or 2 major and at least 2 minor criteria. * Major Criteria: increased sputum production; increased discoloration of sputum; increased dyspnea; increased cough * Minor Criteria: fever (\> 38º C) measured during clinic visit; increased malaise or fatigue; forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) (L) or forced vital capacity (FVC) decreased \> 10% from baseline; new or increased hemoptysis
Time frame: Baseline to Day 112
Subjects were enrolled in a total of 57 study sites in the United States, Canada, and Australia. The first participant was screened on 25 April 2011. The last participant observation was on 04 June 2013.
