Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics (PK) of RV1162 in Healthy Subjects and COPD Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
RV1162 is a new medicine being developed for possible treatment of smoking related lung disease (also known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - COPD). The main purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single and repeat doses of RV1162.
