Effect of AIN457 on Ozone-induced Airway Neutrophilia Compared to Placebo and Corticosteroid in Healthy Subjects
- Registration Number
- NCT00920933
- Lead Sponsor
- Novartis Pharmaceuticals
- Brief Summary
This study will assess the ability of AIN457 to attenuate the increase in airway neutrophils that is seen following ozone exposure. Healthy subjects will be treated with AIN457, placebo, or oral corticosteroid and the response to a subsequent ozone exposure will be evaluated.
