Description:

Endotoxin
is a component of outdoor air pollution, an air contaminant found in a
number
of different workplaces, and is even found in homes.
The purpose of this Phase 1 research study is
to identify a dose of inhaled endotoxin that is safe (does not cause
prolonged
cough, shortness of breath or other problems), but causes changes in
your
sputum cell samples that the scientists can measure.
Phase 1 research studies like this one are
not intended to be a treatment, but are a scientific investigation. Eventually, these types of studies will be
used to examine why some people are more sensitive to Endotoxin. A total of 15 people will participate in this
study |
