This is a Phase 1, open-label, multi-center pilot study evaluating the safety and microbiological activity of intravenous (IV) bacteriophage therapy in combination with standard IV antibiotics in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) experiencing pulmonary exacerbations due to antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. Eligible participants will receive a 7-day course of IV antibiotics, selected by their treating clinician, along with a phage cocktail specifically formulated to target their identified bacterial pathogen (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella spp., Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, or Achromobacter xylosoxidans). The primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of this combined treatment approach. Secondary and exploratory outcomes include assessment of changes in sputum bacterial burden, lung function (spirometry and oscillometry), quality of life, and bacteriophage pharmacokinetics. Results from this study will inform the feasibility and design of future clinical trials using phage therapy in the CF population.

Safety and tolerability of combined IV antibiotic and bacteriophage therapy assessed by the number, type, severity, and relatedness of adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and events of special interest (ESIs)
Timeframe: Baseline (Day -14 to Day 1) through Day 28 ± 5
