Brief summary

This is a research study to evaluate ascending doses and concentrations of Citramel inhalation. It is open label administration of Citramel to three cohorts, each of 5 healthy volunteers, to evaluate safety and tolerability.

Interventions

Cohort 1: Citramel Low Dose - an aqueous solution of sodium citrate (16.18 mg/mL), citric acid (0.046 mg/mL) and ammonium chloride (4.12 mg/mL). Cohort 2: Citramel Medium Dose - an aqueous solution of sodium citrate (48.54 mg/mL), citric acid (0.138 mg/mL) and ammonium chloride (12.36 mg/mL). Cohort 3: Citramel High Dose (if administered) - an aqueous solution of sodium citrate (64.72 mg/mL), citric acid (0.184 mg/mL) and ammonium chloride (16.48 mg/mL). Administered by aerosol twice daily (

Administered by aerosol twice daily (morning and night) for 28 days. Compliance will be assessed by checking the vials returned by study participants.
