Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to confirm and extend the Phase 1-2 KB001 findings of an airway anti-inflammatory effect in CF individuals with chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) airway infection. It is hypothesized that steady-state levels of KB001-A in CF subjects with airway Pa infection will be safe and well-tolerated, and will increase the time-to-need for antibiotic treatment (IV, inhaled, or oral) for worsening of respiratory tract signs and symptoms compared with placebo.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: KB001-A
KB001-A administered up to 5x intravenously (IV) at 10 mg/kg up to a maximum dose of 800 mg per dose.
Biological: KB001-A
Placebo Comparator: Placebo Comparator
Placebo administered up to 5x intravenously
Drug: Placebo Comparator



Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. To evaluate the effect of KB001-A on time-to-need for antibiotic (ABX) treatment for worsening of respiratory tract signs and symptoms. [ Time Frame: 16 Weeks ]
    Time-to-need for ABX treatment will be the length of time between study material dosing and administration of ABX as needed for worsening respiratory conditions.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Safety and tolerability of KB001-A [ Time Frame: 16 Weeks ]
    Safety and tolerability will be measured by Adverse Events (AEs) and laboratory assessments

  • Confirmed diagnosis of CF
  • At least 2 respiratory tract cultures in the previous 12 months, with Pa present. The most recent positive Pa culture must be within 12 weeks before the Screening Visit (or obtain a positive culture at screening)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Treatment with antibiotics for acute illness within the 4 weeks before the Day 0 Visit
  • Use of systemic corticosteroids within the 4 weeks before the Day 0 Visit
  • Any change in regimen of CF maintenance therapies within the 4 weeks before the Day 0 Visit
  • History of sputum cultures positive for B. cepacia complex in the 2 years before the Screening Visit
  • History of organ transplantation
  • Current smoker (tobacco, marijuana, or any other material). Use of smokeless inhalers/vaporizers for these materials is also prohibited
  • History of drug addiction or alcohol abuse in the 12 months before the Screening Visit
  • History of hepatic disease (clinical cirrhosis or portal hypertension), renal dysfunction
  • Breast-feeding or pregnancy as evidenced by a positive blood pregnancy test
  • Receiving any investigational drug in the 16 weeks (or 5 half lives) before the Day 0 Visit, whichever is longer
