Aradigm Corporation (OTCBB:ARDM) ("Aradigm") today announced it completed enrollment in its Phase 2 clinical trial of its inhaled liposomal ciprofloxacin in adult patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis.

The study was initiated in July 2008 in leading bronchiectasis centers in the United Kingdom and enrolled a total of 36 patients as planned. The subjects were randomized to two different dose levels of once-daily inhaled liposomal ciprofloxacin in a parallel design for a treatment period of 28 consecutive days. The primary efficacy endpoint in the study is the change from baseline in the sputum Pseudomonas aeruginosa colony forming units (CFU) over the treatment period, an objective measure of the reduction in pulmonary bacterial load. Additional endpoints will include pulmonary function measurements and respiratory symptoms.

"We are pleased with the completion of enrollment of this study, an important milestone in the development of inhaled liposomal ciprofloxacin and would like to thank the clinical investigators for the on-schedule, rapid enrollment. We anticipate announcement of the data from the study in the first quarter of 2009," said Tunde Otulana, M.D., Aradigm's Chief Medical Officer.

Bronchiectasis is a chronic necrotizing infection of the bronchi and bronchioles that is also associated with abnormal dilatation of the airways. It is frequently observed in patients with cystic fibrosis. However, it is a condition that affects about 110,000 non-cystic fibrosis people in the United States and many more in other countries, and results from a cycle of inflammation, recurrent infection, and bronchial wall damage. There is currently no drug specifically approved for the treatment of this condition in the US. Aradigm was granted orphan-drug designation for the management of bronchiectasis with inhaled liposomal ciprofloxacin.
