    Abstract Background: Mucociliary clearance is dysfunctional in people with primary ciliary dyskinesia, resulting in the accumulation of dehydrated mucus in the airways that is difficult to clear. We undertook a study to assess the benefit on lung function of treatment with a nebulised epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) blocker, idrevloride, with or without hypertonic saline, in people with primary ciliary dyskinesia.
    Methods: The CLEAN-PCD trial was a phase 2, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial conducted at 32 tertiary adult and paediatric care centres and university hospitals in Canada, Denmark, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, the UK, and the USA. People with a confirmed diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia, aged 12 years or older, with a percentage of predicted FEV
    Findings: Between Sep 14, 2016, and May 31, 2018, 216 patients were screened and 123 were randomly assigned to one of four crossover sequences. Across the two treatment periods, treatment with idrevloride in hypertonic saline was initiated in 80 patients and completed in 78 patients (all 78 had data available and were included in the analysis); hypertonic saline initiated in 81 patients and completed in 76 patients (75 had data available and were included in the analysis); idrevloride initiated in 37 patients and completed in 35 patients (34 had data available and were included in the analysis); and placebo initiated in 36 patients and completed in 34 patients (all 34 had data available and were included in the analysis). Greater absolute increases in ppFEV
    Interpretation: In this phase 2 crossover study, idrevloride in hypertonic saline was safe and associated with improved lung function over a 28-day period in people with primary ciliary dyskinesia compared with hypertonic saline alone. Larger, longer clinical studies are warranted to explore the potential benefits of idrevloride in combination with hypertonic saline in people with primary ciliary dyskinesia.

    Abstract Background: Efficient delivery of aerosols to the lungs via the nasal route has been difficult to achieve, but it may offer benefits over the traditional oral route for a range of patient populations. Because slow, continuous delivery of short-acting agents could improve safety, tolerability, compliance, and efficacy when compared with the rapid, intermittent aerosol treatments delivered by mouthpiece or mask, a novel trans-nasal pulmonary aerosol delivery (tPAD) device was developed. The tPAD incorporates an aerosol particle-size selection chamber and a custom nasal cannula that are specifically optimized for aerosol delivery to the lung via the nasal route. The tPAD device produced a steady aerosol output (∼2 mL/h) from an optimized nasal cannula with negligible rainout in the cannula for up to 8 hours. The generated aerosol particles were small enough to minimize nasal deposition [volume median diameter (VMD) = 1.4 μm].
    Methods: In this proof-of-concept study, gamma scintigraphy was used to quantitate deposition efficiency of
    Results: The tPAD device achieved high pulmonary deposition (39% ± 8%), based on emitted dose, and matched that of the oral jet nebulizer (36% ± 9%). Low fractions of aerosol deposition in the head and nose region were observed for tPAD (6% ± 6%) and jet nebulizer deliver (1% ± 1%) as well.
    Conclusions: A profile of high pulmonary deposition efficiency and low nasal dose may enable the sustained use of the tPAD platform with a variety of therapeutic agents for a range of pulmonary disorders.

    Abstract Aim: Inhaled hypertonic saline increases mucociliary clearance, improves pulmonary function, and decreases exacerbations in cystic fibrosis (CF) but contributes to the already significant treatment burden of CF. Overnight delivery of inhaled medications via a specially designed nasal cannula-aerosol device (Trans-nasal Pulmonary Aerosol Delivery [tPAD]) is an alternative approach. Here, we test whether overnight inhalation of hypertonic saline via tPAD improves mucociliary clearance and assess the tolerability of the device.
    Method: In this study, 12 CF subjects inhaled 7% hypertonic saline (HS) for 8 h overnight using the tPAD system. Safety and tolerability were assessed and measurements of mucociliary and absorptive clearance (MCC/ABS) were performed after the treatment. Comparisons were made versus sham treatment where the same subjects wore the nasal cannula overnight but did not receive aerosol.
    Results: Both the HS and sham treatments were well-tolerated. Only one subject did not complete the overnight HS treatment. There were no significant differences in MCC associated with HS inhalation at any time point (90 min, 3 h, 6 h) in any lung zone. Changes in FEV
    Conclusions: The most likely cause for the failure to accelerate MCC was under-dosing of HS relative to the active transport of salt from the airways.

    Abstract Background: Inhaled epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) blockers are designed to increase airway surface liquid volume, thereby benefiting cystic fibrosis patients. This study evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of multiple doses of ENaC blocker GS-9411, in healthy participants.
    Methods: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, residential, Phase 1 study evaluated inhaled GS-9411 (2.4, 4.8, and 9.6 mg) or placebo, dosed twice daily for 14 days.
    Results and conclusions: GS-9411 was well tolerated; 86.1% of treated participants completed dosing (n=31/36). Cough and dizziness (27.8% participants each; most of mild severity) were the most commonly reported adverse events and occurred in both placebo and GS-9411 treatment groups. Arrhythmias were not observed for GS-9411-treated participants, and electrocardiographic changes were not considered clinically significant. Serum potassium levels exceeded the upper limit of normal (>5 mmol/L), 4 hr after the morning dose in GS-9411 (n=16/24) and placebo (n=4/12) treatment groups (38 incidences total). Retesting revealed levels had returned to normal within 2-3 hr. In urine electrolyte analyses, obtained 0-6 hr after the Day 1 morning dose, mean sodium/potassium ratios significantly increased from values 0-6 hr before dosing. Increased urine sodium/potassium ratios corresponded with high urine concentrations of active GS-9411 metabolites, which inhibited sodium reabsorption in the kidney, leading to the observed transient hyperkalemia in these participants. Inhaled GS-9411 was well tolerated except for the emergence of transient clinically significant hyperkalemia; this finding resulted in termination of further clinical development of this drug and will necessitate development of a new generation of ENaC blockers, which provide a sustained improvement in mucociliary clearance, while reducing renal exposure to ENaC blockade. Transient increases in mean urine sodium/potassium ratios appeared to be the first signal of electrolyte imbalances resulting from drug-induced block of ENaC in the kidney. The results of this study strongly suggest that clinical trials of novel ENaC blockers will require intensive measurement of plasma and urine electrolyte levels.

    Abstract Although the airway surface is the anatomic target for many lung disease therapies, measuring drug concentrations and activities on these surfaces poses considerable challenges. We tested whether mass spectrometric analysis of exhaled breath condensate (EBC) could be utilized to non-invasively measure airway drug pharmacokinetics and predicted pharmacological activities. Mass spectrometric methods were developed to detect a novel epithelial sodium channel blocker (GS-9411/P-680), two metabolites, a chemically related internal standard, plus naturally occurring solutes including urea as a dilution marker. These methods were then applied to EBC and serum collected from four (Floridian) sheep before, during and after inhalation of nebulized GS-9411/P-680. Electrolyte content of EBC and serum was also assessed as a potential pharmacodynamic marker of drug activity. Airway surface concentrations of drug, metabolites, and electrolytes were calculated from EBC measures using EBC:serum urea based dilution factors. GS-9411/P-680 and its metabolites were quantifiable in the sheep EBC, with peak airway concentrations between 1.9 and 3.4 μM measured 1 h after inhalation. In serum, only Metabolite #1 was quantifiable, with peak concentrations ∼60-fold lower than those in the airway (45 nM at 1 h). EBC electrolyte concentrations suggested a pharmacological effect; but this effect was not statistical significant. Analysis of EBC collected during an inhalation drug study provided a method for quantification of airway drug and metabolites via mass spectrometry. Application of this methodology could provide an important tool in development and testing of drugs for airways diseases.
