E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The main purpose of the trial is to investigate if targetted antibiotics against respiratory tract infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa can improve the prognosis in patients with COPD, non-CF bronchiectasis and asthma.
Patients will be allocated to the following 2 study arms: 1) no antibiotic treatment 2) intravenous tazocin 4/0.5 g four times daily + tablet ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice daily for 14 days
|
Hovedformålet er at undersøge om antibiotikabehandling af luftvejsinfektions med Pseudomonas aeruginosa kan forbedre prognosen hos patienter med KOL, non-cystic fibrose bronkiektasier og astma .
Patienter allokeres til en af følgende 2 studiearme: 1) Ingen antibiotisk behandling 2) Intravenøs Tazocin 4 g x 4 daglig + Tablet Ciprofloxacin 500 mg x 2 daglig i 14 dage
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
A) To investigate if infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an independent predictor for exacerbation and mortality i patients with COPD (nationwide database study).
B) To investigate if Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes chronic colonisation or rather episodic infections in the respiratory tract in patients with COPD (genetic study: prospective pilot study of the randomized study). |
A) At undersøge om tilstedeværelse af PA i luftvejene er en uafhængig prædiktor for risikoen for KOL eksacerbation og død i en landsdækkende database-undersøgelse af patienter med KOL.
B) At afklare om samme PA-stamme koloniserer luftvejene igennem måneder til år ved svær KOL eller om PA forårsager gentagne klonisk adskilte episoder af kolonisation/infektion (genetisk studie, foretages prospektivt i en pilotfase af det randomiserede studie). |
