Clinical Trial Summary

The inhaled route of delivery has always been associated with the considerable challenge of getting the drug to its target. The lungs are a highly complex organ designed to filter inspired air, with many different cell types contributing to their function. Furthermore, the lungs may change dramatically when afflicted by disease resulting in an internal environment that works against the drug reaching and interacting successfully with the target. For targets in the upper airways this will have lesser significance, but drug delivery to the deep lung may be impeded by changes such as mucus hyper-secretion or thickening or airway narrowing.

In order to interpret toxicology findings it is necessary to reconcile test sensitivity, background biological variation, normal responses to inhaled materials and drug or medicine-specific adverse effects. Identification of adverse end-points is an area where better control data sets might help discern true adverse effects from a normal physiological lung response. The lung responds acutely to inhalation of irritant materials by hyper-secretion of mucus, chemokine release, inflammatory cell recruitment and cough and collectively these may be characterized as non-specific irritancy.


Clinical Trial Description

Four formulations of antituberculosis drug (rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and levofloxacin) will be administered to each patient by randomization. Each formulation will be assigned the code, such as A, B, C, or D, and the treatment sequences will be generated as ABCD (sequence 1), BCDA (sequence 2), CDAB (sequence 3) and DABC (sequence 4). On the first day of drug dosing in period I, volunteers will be randomly assigned to a sequence of treatments as indicated in a pre-printed randomization scheme, which was generated using block randomization with block sizes of 4 and 6, and the allocation ratio of 1:1. Subjects will be stratified by sex. Subjects in sequence 1 will receive treatment A during the first study period and will then cross over to receive treatment B, C, and D at the second, third and fourth periods, respectively (each after a 7-day washout period). ;
