Tobramycin Administered by eFlow Rapid Nebulizer: Pharmacokinetic Study

This study assesses the aerosol delivery characteristics (measured by nebulization time, serum and sputum tobramycin pharmacokinetic parameters) and safety of tobramycin administered for inhalation by PARI eFlow rapid electronic nebulizer (no compressor) vs. PARI LC PLUS Jet Nebulizer (with compressor) in subjects with cystic fibrosis.

Treatment and study plan

Tobramycin

Drug

Primary outcomes

  1. Aerosol delivery characteristics of tobramycin when inhaled using either PARI LC PLUS jet nebulizer or PARI eFlow rapid Electronic Nebulizer evaluated by serum concentrations

Secondary outcomes

  1. Potential accumulation of tobramycin in serum measured as the change in tobramycin levels from the first day of treatment to the last day of treatment.

  2. Pharmacokinetics

  3. Safety assessed by adverse events, serious adverse events
