• Participant gender: All

Summary

This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of single and multiple inhaled doses of imatinib inhalation solution (AER-901) in healthy adult volunteers. This study consists of 2 parts and an optional third part:

• Part A: double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose (SAD).

• Part B: double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-ascending dose (MAD).

• Part C (optional): an open-label, single-dose, 2-way crossover. Each part of the study will include a 28-day screening period, a treatment period, and follow-up period.
