Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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).
