5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study is part of a research program too see if amikacin delivered as an aerosol directly to the lungs in combination with IV antibiotic therapy can help intubated patients with gram-negative pneumonia get better faster than when given intravenous antibiotics alone. The primary purpose of this study is to determine the correct dose of amikacin which is delivered directly to the lungs as an aerosol via an investigational device called the Pulmonary Delivery Device System (PDDS).
