Sponsor's own description
This study (ARD-3150-1201, ORBIT-3) will evaluate the safety and efficacy of inhaled Pulmaquin (ciprofloxacin dispersion for inhalation) compared to inhaled placebo in subjects who have a confirmed diagnosis of non-cystic fibrosis (non-CF) bronchiectasis with a history of pulmonary exacerbations and chronic P. aeruginosa infections.
