Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of ARO-MUC5AC in normal healthy volunteers (NHVs), patients with moderate-to-severe asthma and patients with moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In part 1 NHVs will receive a single dose of ARO-MUC5AC or placebo. In part 2 of the study, NHVs, adult patients with asthma, and adult patients with COPD will receive 3 doses of ARO-MUC5AC or placebo.
