- Change in P. Aeruginosa Density [ Time Frame: from baseline to end of treatment (28 days) ]Patients were required to cough deeply and then spit sputum into a sterile container. The bacteria contained in the sputum sample was incubated in a laboratory and the number of P. aeruginosa colony forming units per gram of sputum (CFU/g) was determined. The difference in CFUs/g were then compared from baseline to the conclusion of the 28 day treatment period
- Time to Administration of Other Anti-pseudomonal Antimicrobials [ Time Frame: from baseline until final study visit (up to 56 days) ]Time to administration of other anti-pseudomonal antimicrobials in patients with at least one of the following: decreased exercise tolerance, increased cough, increased sputum/chest congestion, or decreased appetite; 25th percentile data reported
- Percent Change in Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) [ Time Frame: from baseline to end of the 28-day treatment period (28 days) ]Percent change in the amount of air the patient could exhale in 1 second
- Change in FEV1 Percent Predicted [ Time Frame: from baseline to the end of the treatment 28-day treatment period (28 days) ]Change in the predicted percent of air the patient could exhale in one second
- Changes in Respiratory Domain Scores of Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire - Revised (CFQ-R) [ Time Frame: from baseline to the end of the 28-day treatment period (28 days) ]Change in the score from 0 to 100 that a patient reports for their respiratory symptoms in the CFQ-R. An increase in score illustrates an improvement in symptoms. An increase of 4 or more is considered clinically significant
- Changes in Susceptability Patterns of Isolated Organisms [ Time Frame: from baseline until the end of the 28-day treatment period (28 days) ]All isolates of P. aeruginosa cultures grown from patient sputum samples were evaluated to see whether the minimum concentration of levofloxacin needed to inhibit growth of the bacteria (i.e., minimum inhibitory concentration; MIC) had increased; 2. The MIC50 and MIC90 values were calculated as the 50th percentile value and the 90th percentile value, respectively. Note that percentile values between dilution values were rounded up to the nearest dilution value
