Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To investigate the pharmacokinetics and the local tolerabilityof dry powder tobramycin at different dosages in patients with bronchiectasis;Secondary Objective: not applicable;Primary end point(s): The following pharmacokinetic parameters will be calculated: • Actual dose (dose minus remainder in inhaler after inhalation) • AUC0-12 (area under the curve from 0 -12 h) • Cmax (maximum plasma concentration) • Tmax (time to maximum plasma concentration) • Ka absorption rate constant • T 1/2 el terminal elimination half-life • CL/F clearance following pulmonary administration (F= bioavailability) Local tolerability of the inhalation of dry powder tobramycin. Both points need to have a positive result. • Drop of FEV1 of >10% (lung function measurement) • Adverse events ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: within four weeks after the last test dose | — |
