E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess the efficacy of omalizumab (Xolair) in adolescent and adult patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) complicated by acute or chronic allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) •as measured by the proportion of patients requiring rescue with corticosteroids following 6 months of study treatment •as measured by time to deviation from the protocol prescribed steroid tapering regime
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To assess: 1. ABPA exacerbation rates during the treatment periods 2. Changes in FEV1 from baseline, measured after 3 and 6 months of treatment, in particular changes between FEV1 measured pre and post first dose in both treatment periods. 3. Proportion of patients responding to Xolair treatment, where a responder is defined by a reduction in systemic corticosteroid dose of 50% or more compared to baseline. 4. To measure time to steroid free state. To assess: 5. Change from baseline in average steroid dose. 6. Proportion of patients in each treatment group whose steroid dose has reduced to 5mg following 6 months of treatment. To measure: 7. Number of steps to reduce steroid dose to zero (or 5mg or less) following 6 months of treatment 8. Immunogenicity 9. PK/PD Safety Objective:To explore the safety and tolerability of higher doses of omalizumab in this patient population

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Males/females age more than or equal to 12 years 2. Cystic Fibrosis diagnosed by either gene profiling and/or sweat test 3. ABPA previously diagnosed according to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Consensus Conference recommendations – minimal diagnostic criteria for diagnosis of ABPA in cystic fibrosis [Stevens, et al 2003] 4. Total serum IgE level of >500 IU/ml 5. Patients who are being treated for ABPA by any oral corticosteroid (OCS) (for at least 8 weeks prior to the first dose) with an OCS entry dose of minimum 5mg/maximum 40mg per day (in prednisolone equivalence) and a history of at least one unsuccessful attempt to taper steroids, defined as in the clinician’s judgment, an ABPA exacerbation during taper, OR patients with a new or recurrent acute ABPA flare, max OCS dose of 20mg. 6. Patients with an FEV1 no lower than 90% of their previous best FEV1 at Screening Visit 7. FEV1 >40% (>30% is acceptable ≥ 16 years old) of predicted (after 12 hour washout of LABA \ 6 hours of SABA)
|

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. History of cancer in the past 10 years (except surgically-cured basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer). 2. Any previous history of anaphylaxis. 3. Any other medical condition that in the opinion of the investigator may cause the patient to be unsuitable for completion of the study or place the patient at potential risk from being in the study. 4. Pregnant women. 5. Prior Xolair exposure. 6. Lung or other transplant.
