Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetics and safety of inhaled vancomycin in patients with cystic fibrosis.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1

Detailed Description

The prevalence of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) respiratory infection in patients with cystic fibrosis has increased dramatically over the last decade. Epidemiologic evidence suggests that persistent infection with MRSA may result in an increased rate of decline in FEV1 and shortened survival. Treatment of MRSA is a top priority. Inhaled antibiotics offer the advantage of high concentrations of antibiotic at the site of infection (the airway) while minimizing systemic side effects. Vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic that has activity against MRSA. Anecdotal and retrospective peer-reviewed studies have demonstrated that inhaled vancomycin is safe and potentially effective in patients with cystic fibrosis and MRSA airway infection. Data evaluating the pharmacokinetics of vancomycin in sputum are needed before pursuing treatment trials.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Vancomycin for Inhalation

250 mg vancomycin in 5cc sterile water will be inhaled once. Patients will use a Pari Sprint nebulizer and Pari Vios compressor as the delivery system.

Drug: Vancomycin
250 mg vancomycin in 5cc sterile water will be inhaled once. Patients will use a Pari Sprint nebulizer and Pari Vios compressor as the delivery system.
Other Names:
  • Nebulized vancomycin
  • Inhaled Vancomycin
  • Vancomycin for inhalation
  • Aerosolized Vancomycin
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Area Under Curve (AUC) [Predose, 5 minutes, one hour, 2 hours, and 6 hours after completion of 250mg of inhaled vancomycin]

      Pharmacokinetic analysis will be performed with non-compartmental methods. The area under the curve for sputum vancomycin will be determined.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Change in FEV1% Predicted [30 minutes]

      Change in FEV1% predicted from baseline to 30 minutes after completion of inhaled vancomycin

    2. Change in Patient Symptoms [6 hours]

      Patient's respiratory symptoms and potential side effects from inhaling vancomycin will be queried using a questionnaire prior to inhaling vancomycin, at 15 ±10 minutes, and 4 ± 1 hour after completing inhaled vancomycin.

    3. Change in Sputum Cell Counts [6 hours]

      Change in sputum cell counts (i.e. eosinophils) between baseline and six hours after completion of inhaled vancomycin.

    4. Serum Vancomycin Peak Concentration [60 minutes]

      Serum vancomycin peak concentration 60 minutes after completion of inhaled vancomycin.

    5. Oxygen Saturation [5 minutes]

      Continuous oxygen saturation monitoring to be continued throughout vancomycin inhalation and for 5 minutes after inhalation

    6. Adverse Events [6 hours]

      Information regarding occurrence of adverse events will be captured throughout the study. Duration (start and stop times), severity/grade, outcome, treatment and relation to study medication will be recorded

    7. Maximum Concentration [Predose, 5 minutes, one hour, 2 hours, and 6 hours after completion of 250mg of inhaled vancomycin]

      Pharmacokinetic analysis will be performed with non-compartmental methods. The maximum concentration of sputum vancomycin will be determined.

    8. Time to Peak Concentration [Predose, 5 minutes, one hour, 2 hours, and 6 hours after completion of 250mg of inhaled vancomycin]

      Pharmacokinetic analysis will be performed with non-compartmental methods. The time to peak concentration for sputum vancomycin will be determined.
