Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) [From first administration of study drug to study completion (up to approximately 25 weeks)]

    AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product; the untoward medical occurrence did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product whether or not related to the medicinal product.

  2. Percentage of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [From time of consent to 4 weeks after study completion (up to approximately 29 weeks)]

    SAEs included adverse events that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death, a life-threatening adverse event, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, a persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal functions, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect.

  4. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events Leading to Permanent Study Discontinuation [From first administration of study drug to study completion (up to approximately 25 weeks)]

    AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product; the untoward medical occurrence did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product whether or not related to the medicinal product. SAEs included adverse events that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death, a life-threatening adverse event, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, a persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal functions, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect.

  5. Shift From Baseline in Laboratory Parameters to Above Upper/Lower Limit of Normal [From baseline to study completion (up to approximately 25 weeks)]

    Shift from baseline in hematology and biochemistry values to above upper/below lower limit of normal at any time post-baseline were reported. Baseline for safety analyses was defined as the last measurement prior to first dose of study drug in the core study CTBM100C2303. Change to low referred to number of participants with normal or high values at baseline. Change to high referred to number of participants with normal or low values at baseline.

  6. Acute Relative Change in Airways Reactivity [Forced Expiratory Value in One Second (FEV1) Percent (%) Predicted] From Pre-dose to 30 Minutes After Completion of First Dose of Study Drug [Pre-dose and 30 minutes Post-dose on Day 1 and Day 29 of every Cycle (2, 3, 4)]

    Airway Reactivity was defined as ≥20% FEV1 relative decrease in percent predicted from pre dose to 30 minutes post dose. FEV1 was defined as the volume of air expired in 1 second. FEV1 % predicted was a normalized value of FEV1 calculated using the Knudsen equation, based upon participant's age, gender and height. Relative change in FEV1 % predicted = 100* (30 minutes post dose - pre dose) / pre dose assessed by number and percentage of participants with a decrease in ≥20% FEV1 percent predicted from pre dose to 30 minutes post dose. Baseline for was defined as the last measurement prior to first dose of study drug in the core study CTBM100C2303.

  7. Percentage of Participants With Frequency Decrease From Baseline in the Post-baseline Audiology Tests [From first dose of study drug to study completion (up to approximately 25 weeks)]

    Auditory acuity of participants was measured using a standard dual-channel audiometer at frequencies from 250 to 8000 Hertz, and an audiogram (pure-tone air conduction) and tympanogram were performed by an audiologist. The categories reported includes >= 10dB decrease in 3 consecutive frequencies in either ear, >= 15dB decrease in 2 consecutive frequencies in either ear, and >= 20dB decrease in at least one frequency in either ear.

  8. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) Associated With the Use of New Antipseudomonal Antibiotic [From first administration of study drug to study completion (up to approximately 25 weeks)]

    AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product; the untoward medical occurrence did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product whether or not related to the medicinal product. SAEs included adverse events that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death, a life-threatening adverse event, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, a persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal functions, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect.

8. Primary Outcome
Title Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) Associated With the Use of New Antipseudomonal Antibiotic
Description AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product; the untoward medical occurrence did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product whether or not related to the medicinal product. SAEs included adverse events that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death, a life-threatening adverse event, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, a persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal functions, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect.
Time Frame From first administration of study drug to study completion (up to approximately 25 weeks)
