June 18, 2026 updated by: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)

A Phase 1b/2, Multi-Centered, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial of the Safety and Microbiological Activity of a Single Dose of Bacteriophage Therapy in Cystic Fibrosis Subjects Colonized With Pseudomonas Aeruginosa

This is a phase 1b/2 study of a single dose of intravenous (IV) bacteriophage in males and non-pregnant females, at least 18 years old, diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). This clinical trial is designed to assess the safety and microbiological activity of bacteriophage product Walter Reed Army Institute of Research- PAM-Cystic Fibrosis1 (WRAIR-PAM-CF1), directed at Pseudomonas aeruginosa in clinically stable CF individuals chronically colonized with P. aeruginosa. WRAIR-PAM-CF1 is a 4 component anti-pseudomonal bacteriophage mixture containing between 4 x 10^7 and 4 x 10^9 Plaque Forming Units (PFU) of bacteriophage. Enrollment will occur at up to 20 clinical sites in the United States. In stage 1, two eligible subjects will be assigned to each of the three dosing arms receiving a single dosage of the IV bacteriophage therapy (4 x 10^7 PFU, 4 x 10^8 PFU, and 4 x 10^9 PFU; total of 6 sentinel subjects), followed by 30 plus or minus 7 days observation period. If no Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)(related to the study product) are identified during the 96 hours after bacteriophage administration for all Sentinel Subjects in Stage 1, the study will proceed to Stage 2. In Stage 2a, 32 subjects will be enrolled into one of 4 arms (placebo IV, 4 x 10^7 PFU, 4 x 10^8 PFU, and 4 x 10^9 PFU) in a 1:1:1:1 allocation. An interim analysis will be performed after all subjects have completed follow up visit 5 on Day 8+3 to select the IV bacteriophage dose with the most favorable safety and microbiological activity profile. During Stage 2b, subjects will be randomized into the bacteriophage (dose selected based on Interim Analysis following Stage 2a) or placebo arm. The final sample size is expected to be up to 72 subjects total with up to 25 subjects in the placebo arm and up to 25 subjects in the Stage 2b bacteriophage dose.

Detailed Description

This is a phase 1b/2, multicenter, randomized placebo-controlled double-blind study of a single dose of intravenous (IV) bacteriophage in males and non-pregnant females, at least 18 years old, diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). This clinical trial is designed to assess the safety and microbiological activity of bacteriophage product Walter Reed Army Institute of Research- PAM-Cystic Fibrosis1 (WRAIR-PAM-CF1), directed at Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) in clinically stable CF individuals chronically colonized with P. aeruginosa. WRAIR-PAM-CF1 is a 4 component anti-pseudomonal bacteriophage mixture containing between 4 x 10^7 and 4 x 10^9 Plaque Forming Units (PFU) of bacteriophage. Enrollment will occur at up to 20 clinical sites in the United States. In stage 1, two sentinel subjects will be assigned to each of the three dosing arms receiving a single dosage of the IV bacteriophage therapy (4 x 10^7 PFU, 4 x 10^8 PFU, and 4 x 10^9 PFU; total of 6 sentinel subjects), followed by 30 plus or minus 7 days observation period. If no Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) (related to the study product) are identified during the 96 hours after bacteriophage administration for all Sentinel Subjects in Stage 1, the study will proceed to Stage 2. In Stage 2a, 32 subjects will be enrolled into one of 4 arms (placebo IV, 4 x 10^7 PFU, 4 x 10^8 PFU, and 4 x 10^9 PFU) in a 1:1:1:1 allocation. An interim analysis will be performed after all subjects have completed follow up visit 5 on Day 8+3 to select the IV bacteriophage dose with the most favorable safety and microbiological activity profile. During Stage 2b, subjects will be randomized into the bacteriophage (dose selected based on Interim Analysis following Stage 2a) or placebo arm. The final sample size is expected to be up to 72 subjects total with up to 25 subjects in the placebo arm and up to 25 subjects in the Stage 2b bacteriophage dose. The primary objectives of this study are to 1) describe the safety of a single dose of IV bacteriophage therapy in clinically stable CF subjects with P. aeruginosa in expectorated sputum; 2) describe the microbiological activity of a single dose of IV bacteriophage therapy in clinically stable CF subjects with P. aeruginosa in expectorated sputum; 3) describe the benefit to risk profile of a single dose of IV bacteriophage therapy in clinically stable CF subjects with P. aeruginosa in expectorated sputum.

Pr[DOOR]= Pr[DOORIV > DOORP] + 1/2Pr[DOORIV = DOORP] where DOORIV and DOORP are the DOOR ranks for bacteriophage (phage) and placebo arms, Pr[DOORIV > DOORP] is the proportion of DOOR ranks from IV phage dose exceeding DOOR ranks from placebo, and Pr[DOORIV = DOORP] is the proportion of phage and placebo DOOR ranks being the same. Undetectable colony counts are treated as missing.
Baseline through Day 8
Number of Not Co-colonized With Clinically Meaningful Organism Subgroup, Sensitivity Analysis Participants With Desirability of Outcome Ranking (DOOR) Probability Calculated Using the Greatest Reduction by Day 8 Follow-up Visit
Time Frame: Baseline through Day 8

A DOOR rank is calculated for each participant based on the following ranking from most (rank 1) to least (rank 4) desirable outcome using each participant's greatest reduction from baseline in log10 P. aeruginosa CFU/mL by Day 8:

Rank 1 = No SAE (related to study product) and > 2 log10 reduction in P. aeruginosa CFU/mL.

Rank 2 = No SAE (related to study product) and 1-2 log10 reduction in P. aeruginosa CFU/mL.

Rank 3 = No SAE (related to study product) and < 1 log10 reduction in P. aeruginosa CFU/mL.

Rank 4 = SAE (related to study product).

The DOOR probability is estimated using:

Pr[DOOR]= Pr[DOORIV > DOORP] + 1/2Pr[DOORIV = DOORP] where DOORIV and DOORP are the DOOR ranks for bacteriophage (phage) and placebo arms, Pr[DOORIV > DOORP] is the proportion of DOOR ranks from IV phage dose exceeding DOOR ranks from placebo, and Pr[DOORIV = DOORP] is the proportion of phage and placebo DOOR ranks being the same. Undetectable colony counts are treated as missing.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
October 3, 2022

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
