Trial in Non-cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis Patients With Chronic Lung Infections Treated With Colistimethate Sodium. (PROMIS-II)

December 11, 2023 updated by: Zambon SpA

Efficacy and Safety of 12 Months of Therapy With Inhaled Colistimethate Sodium in Subjects With Non-cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis Chronically Infected With P. Aeruginosa

The primary objective of the trial was to investigate the effect of the use of inhaled colistimethate sodium (CMS), administered twice a day (b.i.d.) via a specific nebulizer for 12 months, compared to placebo in subjects with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB) chronically infected with P. aeruginosa on the annualised frequency of pulmonary exacerbations.

Detailed Description

This was a randomised, multi-centre, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group interventional trial in subjects with NCFB chronic P. aeruginosa infection. Subjects were randomised to CMS or placebo in a 1:1 ratio. The study consisted of 7 clinic visits with a follow-up phone call 12.5 month after randomisation or 2 weeks after discontinuation of treatment. Additional clinic visits, where feasible, and weekly phone calls were conducted during or after pulmonary exacerbations (or any episodes of pneumonia) until resolution.

Every effort was made to have all planned and unscheduled visits at the study site. Mandatory on-site visits were Screening Visit (Visit 1) and Randomisation (Visit 2). However, if one of the visits after Visit 2 could not be performed at site due to COVID-19, remote visits (e.g., by telephone) were permitted. If the final visit (Visit 7) had to be conducted remotely, the subjects were asked to return to the clinic for on-site assessments at the earliest opportunity.

After consulting with the US Food and Drug Administration, the study was brought to an early close primarily due to the difficulty of recruiting subjects in the context of the COVID pandemic, but also due to the potential for loss of scientific equipoise and the ethical implications of continuing to expose subjects to placebo given the positive results from PROMIS I. Recruitment to PROMIS II was stopped as of 27 October 2021, with the study terminated as of 15 March 2022. The study was not stopped prematurely due to any safety or futility concerns and the accrued data were fully analysed and are presented.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Saline solution inhaled twice daily, provided and administered at the same way of the IMP.
1 mL saline solution 0.45%. The placebo was made up of identical empty glass vials to which the same saline solution diluent was added in exactly the same way as the reconstitution of the active treatment by injecting the diluent through the rubber stopper. The glass vials were shrink wrapped with opaque white plastic to mantain the blind.
Other Names:
  • Saline Solution
Experimental: CMS (Colistimethate Sodium)
Inhaled colistimethate sodium twice daily. The active pharmaceutical ingredient consisting of pure CMS one million international units (MIU) / 80 mg of CMS / 33 mg colistin base activity (CBA) was provided as a powder for nebuliser solution in 10R Internation Organization for Standardization (ISO) glass vials.

1 MIU equivalent to 80 mg colistimethate sodium diluted in 1 mL saline solution 0.45%. Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) glass vials were shrink wrapped in opaque white plastic and provided in boxes of 30 vials (two weeks of b.i.d. dosing).

The 1 MIU/ml CMS/0.45% saline solution was transferred from the glass vial into a specific nebuliser system fitted with a 0.3 mL medication chamber, for administration by inhalation. This delivered a nominal dose of 0.3 MIU/24 mg CMS (11 mg CBA) from the device.

The first dose of the IMP was administered at the site under the supervision of the site staff and subjects were instructed how to prepare and self-administer the IMP at home via a specific nebuliser system, b.i.d. (morning and evening) over aperiod of 12 month.

At least 10 minutes (min) before each administration, an inhaled short-acting bronchodilator (e.g. salbutamol/albuterol), supplied by the Sponsor, could be taken to improve tolerability.

Other Names:
  • Promixin

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mean Annual Non-cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis (NCFB) Pulmonary Exacerbation Rate
Time Frame: 12 months

The primary efficacy assessment for an individual subject was the frequency of pulmonary exacerbations (exacerbation rate). A pulmonary exacerbation was defined as the presence concurrently of at least three of the following eight symptoms/signs for at least 24 hours:

  • increased cough;
  • increased sputum volume and/or consistency;
  • increased sputum purulence;
  • new or increased haemoptysis;
  • increased wheezing;
  • increased dyspnoea;
  • increased fatigue/malaise and
  • episodes of fever (temperature ≥38°C). AND It was clinically determined that the subject required and was prescribed systemic antibiotic therapy. AND The episode of exacerbation lasted for at least 24 hours. The overall episode of exacerbation needs to last at least 24 hours, but individual symptoms/signs can last less than 24 hours (e.g, a temperature)
