July 23, 2012 updated by: Francesco Blasi, University of Milan

Tobramycin 300 mg o.d. Aerosol in in Adult Patients With Cystic Fibrosis: Pilot Study on Antimicrobial Activity

The study will include 10 adult patients with cystic fibrosis. The aim of the study is to evaluate whether Tobramycin 300 mg aerosol once-a-day for 28 days can reduce the bacterial load in the airways. Secondary end-point is the evaluation of variation in bacterial susceptibility during and at the end of study period.
