First Received: October 20, 2009 Last Updated: October 21, 2009 History of Changes

Sponsor:	Gilead Sciences
Information provided by:	Gilead Sciences
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00999531

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of repeated doses of GS-9411 in healthy volunteers. GS-9411 is a sodium channel inhibitor, that may restore airway hydration and mucociliary clearance in the lung.

Primary Outcome Measures:

• Safety and tolerability of multiple doses of inhaled GS-9411 in healthy volunteers [ Time Frame: 21 Days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  

Secondary Outcome Measures:

• Assess the pharmacokinetics of GS-9411 and its metabolites [ Time Frame: 21 Days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  

Estimated Enrollment:	24
Study Start Date:	October 2009
Estimated Study Completion Date:	December 2009
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	December 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
1: Experimental GS-9411 9.6 mg	Drug: GS-9411 Inhaled GS-9411 dissolved in sterile saline
2: Experimental GS-9411 4.8 mg	Drug: GS-9411 Inhaled GS-9411 dissolved in sterile saline
3: Placebo Comparator Placebo, sterile saline	Drug: Placebo Inhaled Placebo, sterile saline

Detailed Description:

GS-9411 is being evaluated as a potential therapy to improve airway hydration and mucociliary clearance in patients with cystic fibrosis. This study is evaluating the safety and tolerability of 2 dose levels of GS-9411 as an inhaled product, compared to a matched placebo, administered twice daily for 14 days.
