Intrapulmonary Pharmacokinetics of Antibiotics

February 12, 2009 updated by: University of Illinois at Chicago

Comparison of the Intrapulmonary and Plasma Concentrations of Telithromycin and Azithromycin in Healthy Adult Subjects

The major objectives of this research are to see how much, and for how long, telithromycin and azithromycin get into the fluids and cells of the lung.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The primary objective of this descriptive study is to determine and compare the plasma, epithelial lining fluid (ELF), and alveolar macrophage (AM) concentrations following multiple oral doses of telithromycin and azithromycin in healthy, non-smoking adult subjects.
