This study is an open-label, phase 1, sequential dose escalation trial seeking to establish preliminary tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic data for up to 4 different doses of inhaled tobramycin administered to very preterm infants with BPD who are receiving invasive mechanical ventilation and have a pathogenic Gram-negative organism detected by tracheal aspirate culture.
