A Randomized, Open Label, Clinical Trial of the Pharmacokinetics of Azithromycin Following a Single Dose of Azithromycin Sustained Release (2 Gram) or Commercial Azithromycin Tablet (500 mg) to Cancer Patients That Require Lung Surgery
Information source: Pfizer
ClinicalTrials.gov processed this data on August 23, 2015 Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.
Condition(s) targeted: Pharmacokinetics
Intervention: azithromycin immediate release (Zithromax) (Drug); placebo (Other); azithromycin SR (Drug); placebo (Other)
Phase: Phase 2
Status: Completed
Sponsored by: Pfizer Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s): Pfizer CT.gov Call Center, Study Director, Affiliation: Pfizer
Summary
The objective of this trial was to characterize the pharmacokinetics of the currently
marketed azithromycin immediate release tablet formulation (AZ-IR) versus the azithromycin
sustained release liquid formulation (AZ-SR) in lung tissue and bronchial washings, the
latter consisting of the epithelial lining fluid (ELF) and cellular elements, mainly
alveolar macrophages (AM).
Clinical Details
Official title: A Randomized, Open Label, Clinical Trial of the Pharmacokinetics of Azithromycin in Serum, Bronchial Washings and Lung Tissue Following a Single Dose of Azithromycin Sustained Release (2 Gram) or Commercial Azithromycin Tablet (500 mg) to Cancer Patients That Require Lung Resection
Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Pharmacokinetics Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Basic Science
