Unlabelled: This is an integrated analysis of data from patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) aged 6-21 years who were treated with up to seven cycles of tobramycin powder for inhalation (TIP(TM) ) over a period of at least 1 year. Safety and key efficacy endpoints were analyzed.

Results: The improvement in lung function and decrease in sputum P. aeruginosa (Pa) density from baseline were sustained over the 1-year treatment period. The number of adverse events (AEs) was low and did not increase with additional cycles of TIP treatment. Some increase in tobramycin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was observed, but there was no significant increase in emergence of resistant strains based on the parenteral breakpoint for tobramycin.

Conclusion: Efficacy of TIP was maintained for up to seven cycles. Long-term treatment with TIP was generally safe and well tolerated with no increase in AEs.
