New inhaled therapy for lung blood pressure passes first safety hurdle

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. Men and women aged between 18 and 65 (inclusive) at the time of Screening visit. 2. Participants with Body Mass Index (BMI) of ≥18.5 and ≤32.0 kg/m2 and weight of at least 50 kg at Screening. 3. Non-smokers or former smokers who have smoked ≤ 100 cigarettes in their lifetime and have not consumed any tobacco or tobacco-containing products for at least 3 months prior to Screening. 4. Females must not be pregnant or lactating and must use acceptable, highly effective double contraception from Screening until 3 months after the last dose of the Investigational product. Key Exclusion Criteria: 1. Participants with contraindications or sensitivity to any components of the study treatment. 2. Participants with histories or active conditions of unexplained bleeding events, hemoptysis, abnormal bleeding tendencies, and/or coagulation disorders. 3. Participants with histories or active conditions of asthma, sleep apnea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, bronchiectasis, bronchospasm, and/or reactive airway. Subjects who have had childhood asthma which have resolved as deemed by the PI can be considered. 4. Participants with histories or active conditions of myocardial infarction (MI), cerebrovascular accident (CVA), coronary artery disease (CAD), unstable angina, heart failure, significant cardiac arrhythmias, congenital or acquired valvular heart disease with clinically insignificant symptom, suspected lung congestion, and/or pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) causing by venous thromboembolism. 5. Cohorts A1 and B1: Participants with systolic blood pressure \< 90 mmHg or \> 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \< 50 mmHg or \> 95 mmHg at Screening or check-in visit. Cohorts B2, B3, C1 and C2: Participants with systolic blood pressure \< 110 mmHg or \> 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \< 50 mmHg or \> 95 mmHg at Screening, check-in visit or predose on Day1. 6. Participants with FEV1 less than 80% predicted, FVC ˂ 80% predicted, or resting oxygen saturation less than 95% at Screening or check-in visit. 7. Participants with histories of drug or alcohol abuse within 1 year prior to subject check-in (Day -1). Regular alcohol consumption defined as \> 14 standard drinks per week for female and \> 21 standard drinks per week for male. 8. Consumption of products containing caffeine/methylxanthines, poppy seeds and/or alcohol within 48 hours before dosing and products containing grapefruit and/or pomelo (shown to inhibit cytochrome P450 \[CYP\] 3A4 activity) within 10 days prior to drug administration, and/or participants unwilling to refrain from consumption of alcohol from 48 hours before dosing to Day 14. 9. Receipt of blood products within 2 months prior to dosing. 10. Positive results of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and pregnancy test. 11. Blood donation or significant blood loss (\>480 ml) within 3 months prior to Screening. 12. Participants unwilling to refrain from strenuous exercises from 7 days prior to dosing until the EOS visit. 13. Participants planning to receive a tattoo, body piercing, or undergo any invasive procedure during the study period.
