About this study

Official title: Comparison of Pharmacokinetics of Amikacin Administered by Three Vibrating Mesh Nebulizers in Healthy Volunteers

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.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • NebulizerDevice

    Also called Vibrating-mesh nebulizers

    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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  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.

    Measured: within the first 24 hours after nebulization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nebulizer in people with Acute Respiratory Insufficiency and Chronic Respiratory Insufficiency, run by University Hospital St Luc, Brussels at 1 site in Belgium.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Belgium. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pharmacokinetics of nebulized amikacin (time frame: within the first 24 hours after nebulization). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Feb 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
