Scientific titleA double-blind, vehicle-controlled, multi-centre, clinical study to investigate the efficacy and safety of up to 6 months of therapy with inhaled Promixin® in the treatment of patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa susceptible to Promixin®
Study acronymPROMIS
Study hypothesisPromixin® (colistimethate sodium) is currently approved for use in the management of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) bronchiectasis who have pseudomonal lung infections, but not for use in patients with non-CF bronchiectasis who have pseudomonal lung infections. The infective agent is the same in both cases and it could be expected that Promixin® will provide benefit in patients with non-CF bronchiectasis as well as patients with CF bronchiectasis.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of inhaled colistimethate sodium (Promixin®) increases the time, compared to vehicle, from starting treatment with the investigational medicinal product (IMP) until the patients experience an infective pulmonary exacerbation, in patients with non-CF bronchiectasis infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) susceptible to Promixin®. Treatment will be for up to 6 months and the safety profile of inhaled Promixin® therapy will be evaluated over this period.

On 28/09/2011 the following changes were made to the trial record:
1. The anticipated end date was changed from 26/08/2010 to 31/01/2012.
2. The Russian Federation and Ukraine have been added to the countires of recruitment.
3. The target number of participants was changed from 260 to 144; recruitment is now complete.
Ethics approval(s)Submitted to London Research Ethics Committee Northwick Park Hospital for the meeting on 29/10/2008 (ref: 08/H0718/71)
ConditionNon-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis; patients with proven Pseudomonas aeruginosa pulmonary infections
InterventionInvestigational medicinal product:
Inhaled Promixin® (colistimethate sodium) at a concentration of 1 million international units per mL (300 µL dose via an I-neb™ system) administered twice a day for up to 6 months.

Control:
