Aim: | The aim was to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of JBT 101 in adults with CF. |
Participants: | 85 adults with CF were enrolled and randomized to receive JBT 101 or placebo for 84 days. There were 9 participants from 3 ECFS-CTN sites in Germany, Italy and the UK (Frankfurt, Milan, Belfast) |
Treatment: | In Weeks 1-4, participants received placebo or JBT 101 1 mg or 5 mg once daily. In Weeks 5-12, participants received JBT 101 20 mg once or twice daily, or placebo. |
Safety: | The primary outcome was safety, measured by the number of adverse events. There were 6 serious adverse events in participants taking JBT-101 and 6 in participants taking placebo. None of the serious adverse events were judged to be linked with JBT-101. Overall, 54-68% of participants taking JBT-101 had adverse events versus 43-58% in participants taking placebo. Most adverse events involved the respiratory system. |
Efficacy: | Participants taking JBT-101 had fewer acute pulmonary exacerbations. This reduction was best with the highest dose of JBT-101 (75% reduction with JBT-101 20 mg twice daily) |
