Open Clinical Studies
STOP 360: Standardizing Treatments for Pulmonary Exacerbations: A platform for evaluating treatment decisions to improve outcomes
The purpose of this study is to look at pulmonary exacerbations in people with cystic fibrosis that need to be treated with IV antibiotics. Do participants have the same improvement in lung function with one type of antibiotic (called beta-lactams) versus taking two different types of antibiotics (tobramycin and beta-lactams)?
