Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Age range 18 to 80 years (inclusive); 2. Diagnosed with refractory chronic cough or chronic cough of unknown cause, with cough lasting >=1 year; 3. Chest CT at screening did not reveal any abnormalities that the investigator believed could cause chronic cough; 4. During the screening period (Visit 1) and lead-in period (Visit 3), cough severity VAS score >=40mm; 5. During the screening period (Visit 1), cough frequency >=20 times/hour; 6. Female participants of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test and not be breastfeeding; male and female participants must have no pregnancy plans throughout the clinical trial and for 6 months after the last dose, and agree to use medically acceptable reliable contraception during the trial and for 6 months after the last dose; 7. Fully understand the study, voluntarily sign the informed consent form, and be able to follow the study procedures and follow-up examination requirements;

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Currently smoking, or having quit smoking within the past 12 months before screening (including all forms of tobacco products such as e-cigarettes, tobacco smoke, nicotine vapour, etc.); 2. Having a smoking index >20 pack-years (smoking index = average daily packs smoked × years of smoking); 3. Continuous exposure to inhaled toxic substances within the past 12 months before screening (e.g., ammonia, chlorine, nitrogen dioxide, phosgene, metalworking dust, etc. 4. History of drug use or alcohol abuse (consuming 14 units of alcohol per week: 1 unit = 285 mL beer, or 25 mL spirits, or 100 mL wine); 5. Diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, sarcoidosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, bronchial asthma (excluding cough variant asthma) or other airway/respiratory diseases that may affect cough; 6. Respiratory infection or significant change in lung status within the past 4 weeks before screening; 7. Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) =160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >=100 mmHg), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) =450 ms, long QT syndrome, etc; 11. Clinically important laboratory test abnormalities, including: • Haematology abnormalities: haemoglobin (Hb) =2×ULN, alanine transaminase (ALT) >=2×ULN, alkaline phosphatase >=2×ULN, or total bilirubin >=2×ULN; • Renal function abnormalities: creatinine (Cr) >=1.5×ULN; • Other laboratory test indicators deemed by the investigator to potentially affect the evaluation of the trial results. 12. Positive for hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C virus antibody/RNA, HIV antibody, or syphilis treponemal antibody; 13. Use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) within the past 3 months before screening; 14. Planning to start new RCC/UCC treatment during the trial; 15. Appetite loss/taste disorder within the past month before screening; 6. Non-compliance with induction period medication (120%); 17. Allergy/sensitivity or contraindication to HW091077 tablets or its excipients; 18. Receiving other P2X3 receptor antagonist treatment within the past year before screening; 19. Received other clinical trial drugs within the 4 weeks or 5 half-lives prior to screening (whichever is longer); 20. According to the investigator's judgment, there is any disease, treatment, laboratory abnormality or other condition that may increase the risk associated with the administration of the investigational drug or may interfere with the interpretation of study results.
