  • Research summary

    The Sponsor is developing a product for inhalation (ColistAir®) using an antibiotic called colistimethate sodium (CMS), which is used to treat infection in patients with the lung disorder cystic fibrosis (CF). \n\nThe study will try to identify how the body takes up CMS when administered as ColistAir®, compared with two different inhalation products (eFlow® Rapid Nebuliser and Colobreathe®). The study will also use imaging techniques to look at how the drug is deposited in the lungs. \n\nThe study will consist of 2 parts involving up to 38 healthy male and female subjects. Part 1 will consist of up to 5 periods (Regimens A to E), in which up to 16 subjects will receive up to three doses of the study drug and doses of each of the two comparator products. Part 2 will consist of 3 periods (Regimens F to H), in which up to 22 subjects will receive one radiolabelled dose of CMS administered as ColistAir® and by eFlow® Rapid Nebuliser respectively, and one non-radiolabelled dose of CMS administered as Colobreathe®.
