Graph showing change in respiratory symptoms over time. Comparator arm seemed to be associated with greater improvement until off of therapy (month 13) at which point the lines cross and the ALIS arm is associated with greater symptom improvement , a difference that remains at month 15 Bar graph comparing culture conversion rates between treatment arms. The ALIS arm had greater proportion of culture conversion through all time points. By month 13, the rate of culture conversion was 82.4% for ALIS (95% CI 77.2-87.6) vs 55.6% (95% CI 48.9-62.3), a treatment difference of 26.8% (95% CI 18.3-35.3%), p<0.0001
