Details and patient eligibility

About

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending (SAD), and multiple ascending dose (MAD) study conducted at a single clinical site within the UK. Healthy male and female subjects (on non-child bearing potential) will be enrolled to investigate single inhaled doses of molgramostim at 3 dose levels (Part 1) and multiple inhaled doses at 2 dose levels (Part 2). The 2 doses in the multiple ascending dose regimens will be administered once daily (QD) for 6 consecutive days. The clinical indication for inhaled molgramostim is the treatment of respiratory diseases such as aPAP, bronchiectasis and cystic fibrosis. The Clinical trial will involve 42 healthy participants. The trial is expected to last approximately 4 months.
