This study was designed to determine an optimal dose range for the once-daily dosing (ODD) of tobramycin in the treatment of an acute pulmonary exacerbation in paediatric cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. In addition, we aimed to assess whether certain patient characteristics affect tobramycin pharmacokinetics and, therefore, dosing.
