Phase II Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of Intravenous Mucoid Exopolysaccharide Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Immune Globulin for Cystic Fibrosis
OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the efficacy of monthly intravenous mucoid exopolysaccharide Pseudomonas aeruginosa immune globulin (MEP IGIV) given over 1 year in reducing the frequency of acute pulmonary exacerbation in patients with cystic fibrosis, mild to moderate pulmonary disease, and mucoid P. aeruginosa colonization.
II. Assess the effect of MEP IGIV on FEV1, sputum density of mucoid P. aeruginosa, and the quality of life in these patients.
III. Assess the safety of monthly MEP IGIV. IV. Assess population-based MEP IGIV pharmacokinetics during chronic therapy.

Detailed Description
PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind study. Patients are stratified by participating institution.
Patients are randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups: low-dose intravenous mucoid exopolysaccharide Pseudomonas aeruginosa immune globulin (MEP IVIG), high-dose MEP IVIG, or placebo. Therapy is administered every 28 days for 12 months. Treatment is not initiated in the presence of an acute asthmatic attack.
Concurrent chronic suppressive antibiotics are permitted.

Description
PROTOCOL ENTRY CRITERIA:
Disease Characteristics
- Cystic fibrosis (CF) documented by pilocarpine iontophoresis sweat chloride greater than 60 mEq/L FEV1 30%-80% of predicted and within 20% of maximum values obtained in 12 months prior to entry Able to expectorate at least 1 g of sputum within 3 hours at screening
- Mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization documented in at least 2 serial expectorated sputum cultures in the year prior to entry Screening specimen meets requirement for 1 culture
- Documented exacerbation of respiratory tract infection At least 1 hospitalization and/or course of parenteral or nebulized antibiotic therapy in each of the 2 years prior to entry
- At least 2 serial spirometry tests over at least 6 months prior to entry FEV1 range no more than 15% relative to maximum value

- No life-threatening CF sequelae, e.g.: Severe cirrhosis with ascites or bleeding Severe distal intestinal obstruction syndrome requiring cessation of oral intake Poorly controlled insulin-dependent diabetes with acetonuria
Prior/Concurrent Therapy
- No concurrent participation in other investigational protocols
- No prior investigational P. aeruginosa vaccine
- At least 45 days since immune globulin or antibacterial monoclonal antibody

- Immunologic: Endogenous immunoreactive IgA at least 5 mg/dL
- No hypersensitivity to immune globulin or human albumin
- No primary or acquired immunodeficiency disease
- Other: No clinical test abnormal on repeat and inconsistent with CF
- No smoking 1 month prior to and during study
- No suspected drug or alcohol abuse within 1 year prior to entry
- No severe illness that precludes protocol participation
- No disability, condition, or geographical location that would impair compliance
