5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The study will include 10 adult patients with cystic fibrosis. The aim of the study is to evaluate whether Tobramycin 300 mg aerosol once-a-day for 28 days can reduce the bacterial load in the airways. Secondary end-point is the evaluation of variation in bacterial susceptibility during and at the end of study period.
Detailed Description
Ten adult patients with cystic fibrosis will be enrolled in a stable phase and will received prophylaxis with aerosol of Tobramycin 300 mg once a day for 28 days.
