Study start date: May 5, 2015
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.This study will include CF patients chronically colonized with P. aeruginosa enrolled in the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) PortCF registry and using TOBI® PODHALER® or another FDA-approved inhaled antipseudomonal antibiotic. No therapeutic intervention will be assigned and physicians will use their discretion in choosing a treatment regimen for their patients. Sputum samples (primarily collected during routine clinical follow-up) from patients able to spontaneously produce sputum will be sent to a central laboratory for analysis. In addition, this study will include two optional sub-studies for qualifying patients in the first study year - Sputum microbiology sub-study and TOBI® PODHALER® sputum pharmacokinetics (PK) sub-study.
