A Randomized, Open-label, Crossover Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacodynamics of PUL-042 Inhalation Solution in Healthy Subjects and the Effect of Pretreatment With Cromolyn Sodium or Albuterol Sulfate
This study evaluates the effect of pre-treatment with either cromolyn sodium or albuterol
sulfate on the safety and tolerability or PUL-042 Inhalation Solution in healthy subjects.
sulfate on the safety and tolerability or PUL-042 Inhalation Solution in healthy subjects.
Healthy subjects (8 per cohort) will be randomized to either pre-treatment or no
pre-treatment (4 per group). The initial cohort will receive pre-treatment with cromolyn
sodium. Subjects will be followed for 2 weeks for safety and tolerability, undergo a 2 week
washout period and then be assigned to the alternative treatment (i.e., subjects who
received cromolyn sodium prior to PUL-042 inhalation solution will not receive pretreatment)
and then followed for an additional 2 weeks.
Subsequent cohorts will receive pre-treatment with albuterol sulfate in a like manner.
