Study summary

The purpose of the study is to compare the pharmacokinetics of nebulized amikacin administered with three vibrating mesh nebulizers coupled with a single limb circuit bilevel ventilator in healthy volunteers. Following our previous in vitro study, our hypotheses are that the pharmacokinetics varies among the devices tested and that a most efficient device can be identified.

Inclusion criteria

  • No of amikacin
  • Written
  • Negative pregnant test (for women)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of respiratory disease
  • History of renal disease
  • History of otological disease
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Solo nebulizer

    Amikacin (500 mg/4 mL) administered with an Aerogen AeroNeb Solo nebulizer associated with a bilevel ventilator

    Device: Nebulizer

  • Experimental
    Pro nebulizer

    Amikacin (500 mg/4 mL) administered with an Aerogen AeroNeb Pro nebulizer associated with a bilevel ventilator

    Device: Nebulizer

  • Experimental
    NIVO nebulizer

    Amikacin (500 mg/4 mL) administered with an Aerogen AeroNeb NIVO nebulizer associated with a bilevel ventilator

    Device: Nebulizer

Interventions

  • DeviceNebulizer

    500 mg/4 mL Amikacin nebulized using vibrating mesh nebulizer associated with a single limb bilevel ventilator. The nebulizations are considered as finished when there is no visible evidence of nebulization for a period of 30 seconds.

    Also known as: Vibrating-mesh nebulizers

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Pharmacokinetics of nebulized amikacin

    The area under the urinary amikacin concentration-time curve after nebulization(AUC0-24 hour) is calculated from the data obtained during 24 hours after nebulization. To determine amikacin absorption during the nebulization, amikacin concentrations are measured in the 24 hours urine collections, which reflected the quantity of dose absorbed via inhalation.

    Time frame: within the first 24 hours after nebulization
