Summary

This study tested a new drug called EP395 in 49 healthy adults to see if it could reduce inflammation in the lungs. Participants inhaled a substance that causes temporary airway inflammation, and those who received EP395 were expected to have less inflammation than those who received a placebo. The goal is to develop a treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a condition where lung inflammation is a major problem.
