ABSTRACT TITLE: Pharmacokinetics and Antibacterial Activity of Inhaled Liposomal Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride in Healthy Volunteers and in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients
AUTHORS: Paul Bruinenberg MD, Babatunde Otulana MD, Jim Blanchard PhD, David Cipolla Msc, John Wilson MD*, David Serisier MD**, Aradigm Corporation, Hayward, CA. * The Alfred Hospital Melbourne Australia, ** Mater Adult Hospital, Brisbane, Australia
SCHEDULED: Thursday, June 11, 2009 through Saturday, June 13, 2009.
The results demonstrated in both healthy volunteers and cystic fibrosis patients similar pharmacokinetics of inhaled liposomal ciprofloxacin, with a long systemic elimination half life (t½) of ~10.5 hours supporting a once-daily dosing allowing for less frequent dosing than current inhaled antibiotic regimes. As reported before, this treatment was effective to result in highly significant reduction in the sputum of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa colony forming units (CFU), an objective measure of the reduction in pulmonary bacterial load in the CF patients. The promising efficacy data is also supported by the high concentration of ciprofloxacin found in the sputum of CF patients following treatment with inhaled liposomal ciprofloxacin.
Ciprofloxacin is a widely prescribed antibiotic to treat infections of the lung frequently experienced by CF patients. It is often preferred because of its broad-spectrum anti-bacterial action. The available oral and intravenous formulations of the drug are used to treat episodes of acute exacerbations of lung infections. Aradigm's once-a-day novel inhaled formulation of ciprofloxacin delivered in liposomes is to be used for chronic maintenance therapy as it is expected to achieve higher antibiotic concentration at the site of infection and relatively low systemic antibiotic concentrations to minimize side-effects.
