Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pulmonary Deposition of Radiolabelled Amikacin-loaded Liposomes Measured as Percentage Retention of Emitted Dose Deposited in the Lungs | Pre-administration and 2 hours post-administration on Day 1 |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Percent Dose Deposited in Oropharyngeal and Stomach Region | At multiple timepoints post-administration up to Day 2 |
| Percent Dose Remaining in the Device Including the Mouthpiece | At multiple timepoints post-administration up to Day 2 |
| Percent Dose Remaining in the Low Resistance Exhalation Filter | At multiple timepoints post-administration up to Day 2 |
| Penetration Index Based on the Ratio of Counts in the Central:Peripheral Lung Regions, Corrected for Regional Lung Volume (sC/P) | Pre-administration and 2 hours post- administration on Day 1 |
