Title: A Phase 3, Double-Blind, Multicenter, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial With Aztreonam Lysinate for Inhalation in Cystic Fibrosis Patients With Pulmonary P. Aeruginosa Requiring Frequent Antibiotics (AIR-CF2)
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of aztreonam for inhalation solution (AZLI) in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and lung infection due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA).


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* CF as diagnosed by:

  1. Documented sweat chloride greater than or equal to 60 mEq/L by quantitative pilocarpine iontophoresis test; or
  2. Two well-characterized genetic mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene; or
  3. Abnormal nasal potential difference with accompanying symptoms characteristic of CF.
* PA present in expectorated sputum or throat swab culture at Screening.
* Participants must have received three or more courses of TIS within the previous 12 months.
* Participants on chronic azithromycin must have had no change in regimen in the previous 3 months and must have had a need for TIS and/or additional antipseudomonal therapy since initiation of azithromycin.
* Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) between (and including) 25% and 75% predicted at Screening.
* Ability to perform reproducible pulmonary function tests.
* Arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) greater than or equal to 90% on room air at Screening.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Current use of oral corticosteroids in doses exceeding the equivalent of 10 mg prednisone a day or 20 mg prednisone every other day.
* History of sputum or throat culture swab yielding Burkholderia cepacia in the past 2 years.
* History of daily continuous oxygen supplementation or requirement for more than 2 liters/minute at night.
* Administration of any investigational drug or device within 28 days of Screening (Visit 1) or within 6 half-lives of the investigational drug (whichever was longer).
* Known local or systemic hypersensitivity to monobactam antibiotics.
* Inability to tolerate inhalation of a short acting Beta-2 agonist.
* Changes in antimicrobial, bronchodilator, anti-inflammatory, or corticosteroid medications within 7 days before Screening or between Screening and the next visit.
* Changes in physiotherapy technique or schedule within 7 days before Screening or between Screening and the next visit.
* History of lung transplantation.
* A chest X-ray indicating abnormal findings at Screening or within the previous 90 days.
* Abnormal renal or hepatic function or serum chemistry at Screening (aspartate aminotransferase \[AST\], alanine aminotransferase \[ALT\] greater than 5 times the upper limit of normal range; Creatinine greater than 2 times the upper limit of normal range).
* Positive pregnancy test at Screening.
* Female of childbearing potential who was lactating or in the opinion of the investigator was not practicing acceptable birth control.
* Any serious or active medical or psychiatric illness, which in the opinion of the investigator would have interfered with participant treatment, assessment, or compliance with the protocol.
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Homozygous for the F508del CFTR mutation, genotype to be confirmed at the Screening Visit
* Confirmed diagnosis of CF defined as a sweat chloride value ≥60 mmol/L by quantitative pilocarpine iontophoresis
* Forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1) ≥40% and ≤90% of predicted normal for age, sex, and height during screening
* Stable CF disease as judged by the investigator
* Willing to remain on a stable CF medication regimen through Week 24 or, if applicable, the Safety Follow up Visit

Exclusion Criteria:

* History of any comorbidity that, in the opinion of the investigator, might confound the results of the study or pose an additional risk in administering study drug to the participant.
* An acute upper or lower respiratory infection, pulmonary exacerbation, or changes in therapy (including antibiotics) for pulmonary disease within 28 days before Day 1 (first dose of study drug)
* Pregnant or nursing females (females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at Screening and Day 1)
* Sexually active participants of reproductive potential who are not willing to follow the contraception requirements
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Male or female with confirmed diagnosis of CF
* Must have the F508del-CFTR gene mutation in both alleles (Groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Group 7 participants must have the F508del-CFTR mutation on 1 allele, and gating mutation G551D on the second allele and have been on their physician prescribed 150 mg KalydecoTM q12h (commercially available ivacaftor) for at least 28 days at the Screening Visit.
* Forced expiratory volume in 1 second(FEV1) 40% to 90% (inclusive) of predicted normal for age, gender, and height (Knudson standards) at screening
* Weight \>40 kg and BMI \>18.5
* Participants of child-bearing potential and who are sexually active must meet the contraception requirements.

Exclusion Criteria:

* History of any illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, might confound the results of the study or pose an additional risk in administering study drug to the participant.
* An acute upper or lower respiratory infection, pulmonary exacerbation, or changes in therapy (including antibiotics) for pulmonary disease within 4 weeks before Study Day 1.
* History of solid organ or hematological transplantation
* Participation in a clinical study involving administration of either an investigational or a marketed drug within 30 days or 5 terminal half-lives (whichever is longer) before screening
* History of alcohol, medication, or illicit drug abuse within 1 year prior to screening
* Pregnant, breast-feeding, or not willing to follow contraception requirements
D: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male or female, age ≥ 18 years with confirmed diagnosis of CF, homozygous for the F508del-CFTR mutation based on historical results generated by Ambry Genetics within the past two years or if unavailable, confirmed by testing done within the past 28 days
2. Sweat chloride ≥ 60 (milliequivalents) mEq/L, by quantitative pilocarpine iontophoresis test (QPIT) at screening
3. Weight ≥ 40 kg at screening
4. Forced expiratory volume (FEV1) ≥ 40% of predicted normal for age, gender, and height (Hankinson standards) pre- or post-bronchodilator value, at screening
