E.2 Objective of the trial

E.2.1

Main objective of the trial

- To evaluate the effect of different doses of TIP administered o.d. and one b.i.d. dose on the change in P. aeruginosa bacterial load in sputum as assessed by the change in colony forming units (CFUs) from baseline to Day 29 of treatment, each compared to placebo.
- To assess the safety and tolerability with different doses of TIP administered o.d. and b.i.d. and different regimens (TIP and TIP/placebo cyclical) during the treatment epoch (112 days) and during the follow-up epoch (56 days) for each as compared to placebo.

E.2.2

Secondary objectives of the trial

Key secondary objectives (for the full list please refer to the protocol):

- To assess the effect of different doses of TIP administered o.d. and one b.i.d. dose and different regimens (TIP and TIP/placebo cyclical) on the frequency, rate (by patient- months), severity and time to onset of pulmonary exacerbations at the end of the treatment epoch and over the entire study, each compared to placebo.
- To assess the efficacy profile of different doses of TIP administered o.d. and one b.i.d. dose and different regimens (TIP and TIP/placebo cyclical), as measured by the time to first use, proportion of patients requiring anti-pseudomonal antibiotics (overall, oral, parenteral) and the duration of treatment of anti-pseudomonal antibiotics, each compared to placebo.
- To assess the time to first hospitalization, proportion of patients requiring hospitalization and the duration of hospitalization due to serious respiratory-related AEs.

E.2.3

Trial contains a sub-study

Yes

E.2.3.1

Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives

Optional 'serum PK' sub-study:

To evaluate serum PK in approximately 16 patients on active treatment, at least 20-22 patients from each cohort (at least 60 total patients) will participate in a PK sub-study. All patients will be asked to participate in the sub-study until enrollment is fulfilled for each cohort. Patients in this PK subset (20-22 patients/ cohort) will instead provide one serum specimen per specified interval at Visits 101 and 103: pre-dose, 0-1, 1-2, 3-4 and 5-6 h.

E.3

Principal inclusion criteria

• Written informed consent must be obtained before any assessment is performed.
• Male and female patients of ≥ 18 years of age at screening (Visit 1).
• Proven diagnosis of non-CF BE as documented by computed tomography or high-resolution computed tomography
• At least 2 or more exacerbations treated with oral antibiotics OR 1 or more exacerbation requiring parenteral antibiotic treatment within 12 months prior
to screening.
• FEV1 ≥ 30% predicted at screening (Visit 1).
• P. aeruginosa, must be documented in a respiratory sample at least 1 time within 12 months and also present in the expectorated sputum culture at Visit 1.

E.4

Principal exclusion criteria

• Patients with a history of cystic fibrosis.
• Patients with a primary diagnosis of bronchial asthma.
• Patients with a primary diagnosis of COPD associated with at least a 20 pack year smoking history.
• Any significant medical condition that is either recently diagnosed or was not stable during the last 3 months, other than pulmonary exacerbations, and that
in the opinion of the investigator makes participation in the trial against the patients’ best interests.
• Clinically significant (in the opinion of the investigator) hearing loss that interferes with patients' daily activities (such as normal conversations)
or chronic tinnitus. Patients with a past history of clinically significant
hearing loss in the opinion of the investigator may be eligible only if
their hearing threshold at screening audiometry is 25dB or lower at
frequencies 0.5-4 kHz. The use of a hearing device is reflective of a
clinically significant hearing loss; hence patients using hearing aids at
screening are not eligible.
• Patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis.
• Patients currently receiving treatment for nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) pulmonary disease.
• Patients who are receiving inhaled antipseudomonal antibiotic within 28 days prior to study drug administration (Visit 101).
