Standardized Treatment of Pulmonary Exacerbations II (STOP2)

Cystic fibrosis (CF), a life-shortening genetic disease, is marked by acute episodes during
which symptoms of lung infection increase and lung function decreases. These pulmonary
exacerbations are treated with varying antibiotics for varying time periods based on needs
determined by individual patients, their families, and the health care providers. Cystic
fibrosis pulmonary guidelines for the treatment of pulmonary exacerbation published by the
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) in 2009 provided recommendations for treatment and also
identified key questions for which additional studies were needed.

A strong desire among clinicians to reduce treatment durations (and reduce cost,
inconvenience, and potential toxicities) is in conflict with belief that patients not
responding robustly to treatment might benefit from extending treatment.

This randomized, controlled, open-label study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety
of differing durations of IV treatment, given in the hospital or at home for a pulmonary
exacerbation in adult patients with CF.

The study will assess the non-inferiority of 10 days versus 14 days treatment duration among
patients who have an early robust improvement (ERR subjects) and the superiority of 21 days
versus 14 days treatment duration among the subjects who do not meet the definition of ERR
(non-ERR; NERR).

Subjects will undergo pulmonary function testing (spirometry) and complete a respiratory
symptom score [Chronic Respiratory Infection Symptom Score (CRISS)] at initiation of IV
treatment (Baseline/ Visit 1) and at Day 7-10 (Visit 2). At Visit 2, subjects will be
allocated to groups ERR or NERR based on their initial clinical response as determined by the
change in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1; percent of predicted) and CRISS from
Baseline and then randomized to an IV treatment duration (nested within group).

ERR subjects [≥8% predicted improvement in FEV1 from Visit 1 to Visit 2 and CRISS reduction
of ≥11 points from Visit 1 to Visit 2] will be randomized 1:1 to either 10 days or 14 days
total IV antibiotic treatment duration. Remaining (NERR) subjects will be randomized 1:1 to
receive either 14 or 21 days total IV antibiotic treatment duration. All subjects will be
evaluated again at Visit 3, 14 days following scheduled completion of IV antibiotic
treatment.

Inclusion Criteria:

Key Inclusion Criteria:

- Male or female ≥18 years of age at Visit 1

- Documentation of a CF diagnosis

- Enrolled in the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation National Patient Registry (CFFNPR) prior to
Visit 1 (US sites only)

- At the time of Visit 1, there is a plan to initiate IV antibiotics for a pulmonary
exacerbation

- Performed spirometry at Visit 1 and Visit 2 and willing to perform spirometry at Visit
3

- Completed the CRISS questionnaire at Visit 1 and Visit 2 and willing to complete the
Cystic Fibrosis Respiratory Symptoms Diary (CFRSD) questionnaire at Visit 3

- Willing to adhere to a specific treatment duration determined by initial response to
treatment and subsequent randomization

- Willing to return for follow up Visit 3

- Written informed consent obtained from the subject or subject's legal representative

Exclusion Criteria:

Key Exclusion Criteria

- Previous randomization in this study

- Treatment with IV antibiotics in the 6 weeks prior to Visit 1

- Admission to the intensive care unit for current pulmonary exacerbation in the two
weeks prior to Visit 2, unless admission was due to a desensitization protocol

- Pneumothorax in the two weeks prior to Visit 2

- Primary diagnosis for current hospitalization is unrelated to worsening lower
respiratory symptoms (e.g., pulmonary clean out, distal intestinal obstruction
syndrome (DIOS), sinusitis)

- Massive hemoptysis defined as > 250 cc in a 24 hour period or 100 cc/day over 4
consecutive days occurring in the two weeks prior to Visit 2

- Current pulmonary exacerbation thought to be due to allergic bronchopulmonary
aspergillosis (ABPA)

- At Visit 1, receiving ongoing treatment with a duration of more than 2 weeks with
prednisone equivalent to >10mg/day

- History of solid organ transplantation

- Receiving antimicrobial therapy to treat non-tuberculous mycobacterium (e.g., M.
abscessus, M. avium complex) in the two weeks prior to Visit 2
