| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the lung deposition of T100 PARI nebulized by the eFlow® inhaler, and compare that with the lung deposition of registered TOBI® nebulized by the PARI LC PLUS® jet nebulizer. This aim will be accomplished by inhaling doses of radiolabeled tobramycin and measuring lung deposition of the drug using a gamma camera. ;Secondary Objective: Assessment of Pharmacokinetics of Tobramycin ;Primary end point(s): Lung deposition of Tobramycin relative to filled dose | — |
