Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Amikacin inhalation solution
Subjects received 125 mg/mL of aerosolized amikacin via the PDDS clinical device at a nominal dose of 400 mg every 12 h for 7-14 days
|
Drug: Amikacin inhalation solution (BAY41-6551)
Daily dose of 800 mg of aerosolized amikacin delivered in two divided doses of 400 mg per aerosol treatment 12 hour |
- Cmax [ Time Frame: Pre-dose and up to 12 h post-dose after the start of dosing and also at 1 h and 12 h after the administration of the second dose ]Maximum serum amikacin concentration observed from time 0 to 12 h
- Tmax [ Time Frame: Pre-dose and up to 12 h post-dose after the start of dosing and also at 1 h and 12 h after the administration of the second dose ]Time that Cmax occurred
- AUC0-12h [ Time Frame: Pre-dose and up to 12 h post-dose after the start of dosing and also at 1 h and 12 h after the administration of the second dose ]Area under the serum amikacin concentration vs time curve from time 0 to 12 h
- Xu0-12h [ Time Frame: On Day 3 at the start of dose and up to 12 h after both first and second dose ]Amount of amikacin excreted in urine from 0 to 12 h after dosing
- Xu12-24h [ Time Frame: On Day 3 at the start of dose and up to 12 h after both first and second dose ]Amount of amikacin excreted in urine from 12 to 24 h after dosing
- Xu0-24h [ Time Frame: On Day 3 at the start of dose and up to 12 h after both first and second dose ]Amount of amikacin excreted in urine from 0 to 24 h after dosing
- Tracheal aspirate [ Time Frame: Day 3 ]
- Epithelial lining fluid (ELF) concentration [ Time Frame: Approximately 15-30 min after completion of the morning dose of study medication on Day 3 ]
- Number of participants with adverse events [ Time Frame: Approximately 6 weeks ]

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male or female subjects with confirmed pneumonia, defined as the presence of a new progressive infiltrate(s) on chest radiograph and the presence of gram-negative organism by either culture or Gram stain of respiratory secretions. The subject must be intubated and mechanically ventilated and expected to remain so for at least 3 days after the start of study treatment. Subjects with a tracheostomy were also eligible.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Subjects with compromised or suppressed Immune systems, severe hypoxemia, neutropenia, serum creatinine > 2mg/dl and chronic liver disease
- Had primary lung cancer or another malignancy metastatic to the lungs
- Were known or suspected to have active tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, or Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia
- Were receiving immunosuppressive therapy, defined as chronic treatment with known immunosuppressant medications
- Had a body mass index of ≥30 kg/m2
- Had burns >40% of total body surface area
- Had known local or systemic hypersensitivity to amikacin or aminoglycosides
- Had a diagnosis of end-stage renal failure or were currently on dialysis treatment
- Had a serum albumin level <2 g/dL at Screening
- Used amikacin by any route within 7 days before the start of study treatment
- Had a presence of any concomitant condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude completion of study evaluations or make it unlikely that the contemplated course of therapy and Follow-Up could be completed
- Had known respiratory colonization with amikacin-resistant gram-negative rods
