Objective
The purpose of this study is to look at pulmonary exacerbations in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) that need to be treated with antibiotics given through a tube inserted into a vein (intravenous or IV). A pulmonary exacerbation is a worsening of respiratory symptoms in people with CF that needs medical intervention. Both doctors and CF patients are trying to understand the best way to treat pulmonary exacerbations. This study is
Trying to answer the following questions about treating a pulmonary exacerbation:
Do participants have the same improvement in lung function and symptoms if they are treated with one type of antibiotic (called beta-lactams or β-lactams) versus taking two different types of antibiotics (tobramycin and β-lactams)?
Is taking one type of antibiotic just as good as taking two types?
Description
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) treatment guidelines for the management of pulmonary exacerbations (PEx) identified evidence gaps in current clinical best practices. The STOP program offers a platform for the conduct of controlled trials to develop the evidence base in order to define clinical best practices. The interventional Aminoglycoside Study (AG Study) will be a prospective, multi-center, parallel group, randomized (1:1 ratio), open-label, superiority study of intravenous aminoglycoside and β-lactams versus intravenous β-lactams only. Randomization will occur at Visit 1. The primary objective of this platform trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of differing treatments in CF PEx during a planned 14 day course of IV antimicrobials. Primary efficacy will be evaluated as the difference in mean Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (ppFEV1) changes from Visit 1 to Visit 2 (Day 28 ± 2 days) between intervention arms.

Step2
Get screened to confirm eligibility
You may be asked to take part in prescreening to make sure you are eligible for a study. The prescreening process ensures it is safe for you to participate. During the prescreening process, you will be asked some questions and you may also be asked to schedule tests or procedures to confirm your eligibility.
-
Step3
Provide your consent to participate
If you are eligible and want to join the clinical trial or study, a member of the research team will ask for your consent to participate. To give consent, you will be asked to read and sign a consent form for the study. This consent form explains the study's purpose, procedures, risks, benefits and provides other important information, such as the study team's contact information.
