consent to participate in the study after receiving adequate previous information and
prior to any study specific procedures

- Children (12 - 17 years) or adults >/=18 years

- Documented diagnosis Cystic Fibrosis (CF):

- documented sweat chloride >/=60 mEq/L by quantitative pilocarpine iontophoresis

culture (sputum or throat swab) within 12 months prior to screening and at screening
(Note: subjects with negative culture at screening can, at the discretion of the
investigator, be rescreened at a later date)

- Ability to perform reproducible pulmonary function tests

- Ability to produce sputum (noninduced)

- Stable pulmonary status, FEV1 >/=35% to </=75% (intraindividual variability +/-10% of
absolute value). Note: The subject is not eligible for enrollment if the variability
results in (or leads to) an FEV1 <35%.

- Room air oximetry >/=88% saturation

- Off antibiotics (except macrolide) and Cipro (oral) for at least 30 days prior to the
administration of study drug for pulmonary exacerbation

regimens should not change during the 30 days prior to the administration of study
drug and during the study (including macrolide administration unchanged in the
previous 30 days)

- Subjects who are able to understand and follow instructions and who are able to
participate in the study for the entire period

- Women who are willing to use an adequate method of contraception for 3 months after
receiving the study drug. Adequate methods of contraception include vasectomy or
condom use by their partners, diaphragm with spermicidal gel, coil (intrauterine
device), surgical sterilization or oral contraceptive
Minimum age
12 Years

No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria

- Massive hemoptysis (>/=300 cc or requiring blood transfusion) in the preceding 4 weeks

- Intravenous antibiotic treatment for pulmonary exacerbation in the past 30 days

- Subjects with a medical disorder, condition or history of such that would impair the
subject's ability to participate or complete this study in the opinion of the
investigator or the sponsor

- Febrile illness within 1 week before the start of the study

- Active treatment for nontuberculosis mycobacteria

- Exposure to any investigational drug within 30 days

- Any history of allergic reaction to fluoroquinolones or other quinolones
