Brief Summary

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

Part 1 will evaluate the safety, tolerability and PK of single doses of three dose levels of NTX-1175 drug substance administered by dry powder inhaler (NOC-110) compared to a single dose reference nebulizer (NOC-100) treatment in healthy participants.

Part 2 will evaluate the safety, tolerability and PK of multiple doses of NTX-1175 drug substance administered by dry powder inhaler (NOC-110) to participants with refractory chronic cough. Part 2 will also evaluate the treatment effect of multiple doses of one dose level of NTX-1175 drug substance administered by dry powder inhaler (NOC-110).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Part 1 is a randomized, double-blinded 3 period crossover and 1 period parallel study of single dose administration of NOC-110 via dry powder inhaler, preceded by a reference period of NOC-100 administered via nebulizer. A total of 12 healthy participants will be enrolled to ensure that 9 participants complete this part of study.

Part 2 is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, multiple-dose, parallel design study in patients with refractory chronic cough. A total of 12 participants will be enrolled to ensure that 8 participants complete this part of study.

Participants Investigators
A computerized randomization scheme for Part 1 and Part 2 will be created by a blinded study statistician and it shall be considered blinded per the following: The randomization is available only to the unblinded Clinic pharmacy staff who are preparing the study drug and who will not be involved in any other aspect of the study including administration of the study drug. The randomization scheme will not be made available to the Sponsor, study participants, or members of the staff responsible for the monitoring and evaluation of safety assessments.
