- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The Primary Objective is to Assess the Safety of 13C Urea Administered by Inhalation. 6 hours The primary endpoint is the safety of inhaled 13C urea assessed by adverse events including pulmonary findings and changes from baseline in physical examination findings, pulse oximetry results, pulmonary function test results, and vital signs.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The Secondary Objective is to Assess the Kinetics of 13C Carbon Dioxide Production by Measuring the Isotopic Ratio of 13C to 12C in Exhaled Carbon Dioxide. 5 minutes post inhalation Secondary endpoints are the isotopic ratios of 13C to 12C in exhaled carbon dioxide measured with the POCone detector (Meretek Diagnostics Group of Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Rockville, MD) at 5, 10, and 15 minutes after study drug administration.
