Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
A Double-blind Randomized Placebo-controlled Phase-3 Trial of Tobramycin Inhalation Solution in Adults with Bronchiectasis with Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infection.
Few large-scale studies have demonstrated the efficacy of tobramycin nebulization in bronchiectasis. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of nebulized tobramycin inhalation solution (TIS) in adults with bronchiectasis with Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. ⋯ TIS is an effective treatment option and has an acceptable safety profile in patients with bronchiectasis with P aeruginosa infection.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Long-term azithromycin in children with bronchiectasis unrelated to cystic fibrosis: treatment effects over time.
Following evidence from randomized controlled trials, patients with bronchiectasis unrelated to cystic fibrosis receive long-term azithromycin to reduce acute respiratory exacerbations. However, the period when azithromycin is effective and which patients are likely to most benefit remain unknown. ⋯ Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry; ACTRN12610000383066.
