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:

* Signed informed consent available before any study specific tests or procedures are performed
* Patients must be at least 18 years of age at time of inclusion (i.e. upon signature of informed consent)
* Patient diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis according to standard criteria (i.e. either elevated sweat chloride content above 60 mmol/ L and/ or genetic testing)
* Patient is homozygous for the deltaF508 mutation
* Patient has a mild-to-moderate stage of lung disease as determined by FEV1 (FEV1 between 40 and 100% predicted)
* Patient has a stable condition of lung disease (no ongoing or recent pulmonary exacerbation and no change in current treatment) within the last 4 weeks prior to screening
* Ability and willingness to understand and follow study procedures for the entire study
* Patients do not smoke. Patients with a history of smoking can be included, if they have refrained from smoking for the last 3 months. If a patients starts smoking during the study participation, he/ she needs to be excluded and considered to be a drop out
* Body mass index (BMI): ≥ 16 kg/ m² (calculated by dividing the patient's weight by the square of his/ her height \[kg/ m2\])

Inclusion criterion valid for study part 1 only:

- Women of childbearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception when sexually active. 'Adequate contraception' is defined as one highly effective form of contraception (intrauterine devices \[IUD\], contraceptive implants or tubal sterilization) or a combination of methods (hormone method with a barrier method ). If a partner's vasectomy is the chosen method of contraception or if a partner has documented azoospermia, a hormone or barrier method must be used in combination. Adequate contraception is required from the signing of the informed consent form up until 4 weeks after the last study drug administration

Inclusion criteria valid for study part 2 only:

* Women of childbearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception when sexually active. 'Adequate contraception' is defined as one highly effective form of contraception (intrauterine devices \[IUD\], contraceptive implants or tubal sterilization) or a combination of methods (hormone method with a barrier method). For patients on Orkambi hormonal methods (including hormonal oral contraceptives) cannot be accepted in this study. They need to choose non-hormonal methods. If a partner's vasectomy is the chosen method of contraception or if a partner has documented azoospermia, a hormone or barrier method must be used in combination. Adequate contraception is required from the signing of the informed consent form up until 4 weeks after the last study drug administration
* Patients receiving Orkambi (Lumcaftor + Ivacaftor) as part of their standard care need to be on stable Orkambi treatment for at least 3 months prior to screening (patients on Lumacaftor and/or Ivacaftor are excluded in part 1)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients with Cystic Fibrosis with any background other than homozygous deltaF508 mutation
* Exclusion criterion only valid for study part 1: Patients receiving treatment with Lumacaftor and/ or Ivacaftor
* Active state of hemoptysis or pulmonary hemorrhage, including those events managed by bronchial artery embolization. Also any history of moderate hemoptysis within the 3 months prior to inclusion
* Any history of pneumothorax, bronchial artery embolization or massive hemoptysis. Massive hemoptysis being defined as acute bleeding \>240 mL in a 24-hour period or recurrent bleeding \>100 mL/ d over several days
* A positive sputum culture for Burkholderia cenocepacia, Burkholderia dolosa, and/ or Mycobacterium abscessus either currently or within the previous year
* Active allergic broncho-pulmonary aspergillosis
* Current pulmonary exacerbation
* Known history of solid organ transplantation
* Known history of any form of pulmonary hypertension
* Clinically relevant deviations of the screened laboratory parameters from reference ranges outside of expected changes for Cystic Fibrosis patients, especially a hemoglobin value below 110 g/L or a creatinine clearance based on the Cockcroft-Gault formula \< 15 ml/ min
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Confirmed diagnosis of CF
* Homozygous for the F508del CFTR mutation
* Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) greater than or equal to (\>=) 40 percent (%) and less than or equal to (=\<) 90% of predicted normal for age, sex, and height
* Willing to remain on a stable CF medication regimen through Week 24 or, if applicable, the Safety Follow up Visit

Exclusion Criteria:

* An acute upper or lower respiratory infection, pulmonary exacerbation, or changes in therapy (including antibiotics) for pulmonary disease within 4 weeks before first dose of study drug
* History of solid organ or hematological transplantation
* History of alcohol or drug abuse in the past year
* Ongoing or prior participation in an investigational drug study (including studies investigating lumacaftor and/or ivacaftor) within 30 days of screening
* Use of strong inhibitors, moderate inducers or strong inducers of Cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) within 14 days before Day 1 of dosing
C: 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:
