E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objectives of this study are to compare the following:
- Stability of lung function as assessed by FEV1 in patients with cystic fibrosis who are maintained on Pulmozyme® when delivered by eRapid vs Pari LC® Plus jet nebulizer system
- Safety as assessed by incidence of adverse events in patients with cystic fibrosis who are maintained on Pulmozyme® when delivered by eRapid vs Pari LC® Plus jet nebulizer system |
