Study design details

• Main study objective:
  To describe the following in patients suffering from CF and receiving Bramitob®, who have severely compromised pulmonary function:• Risk of upper airway and bronchial hypersensitivity/irritation, • Efficacy in terms of FEV1, pulmonary exacerbations, anti-pseudomonal use, hospitalizations and death.
• Outcomes:
  Efficacy Variables• FEV1 (expressed as liters and % predicted), • Number of pulmonary exacerbations as defined by Fuchs,• Anti-pseudomonal use, • Number of planned and unplanned hospitalizations,• Death.Safety Variables• AEs and ADRs, • AEs of special interest which will be queried for will include: acute, decreases in FEV1, bronchospasm, wheezing, dyspnea, cough, hemoptysis
• Data analysis plan:
  Descriptive analysis of efficacy and safety variables
