7)SaO2 = 90% at Screening while breathing room air
8)Ability to comply with medication use, study visits, and study procedures as judged by the investigator
9)Ability to produce sputum or be willing to undergo an induction to produce sputum for clinical evaluation (subjects will be asked to be consistent with expectorated or induction for the duration of the study)
10)Clinically stable with no evidence of acute upper or lower respiratory tract infection or current pulmonary exacerbation
