Definition of abbreviations: ALIS = amikacin liposome inhalation suspension; COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; GBT = guideline-based therapy; GFR = glomerular filtration rate; TEAE = treatment-emergent adverse event.

Data are shown as n (%).

Adverse events are reported and classified based on Medical Dictionary of Regulatory Activities preferred terms.

*

Pulmonary exacerbation was defined based on the investigators’ best clinical judgment.

A serious adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose resulted in death, was life threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, or was a congenital anomaly or birth defect.

Hearing loss includes preferred terms hypoacusis, deafness neurosensory, deafness unilateral, and deafness.
