Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Male or female subjects, with symptoms (cough, sputum production) suggestive of GOLD stage 0 COPD for at least one year prior to the screening visit in accordance with the GOLD 2014 guidelines;
- Current smokers with \>10 pyh;
- Subject has risk of COPD defined by GOLD Staging Criteria level 0 where the subjects' post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC ratio \>0.70 and FEV1 is \>80% normal predicted;
- CAT score at screening \>3 and \< 15;
- Sero-negativity to HRV A16 neutralizing antibody;
- Patients together with their partners of reproduction potential (males and females) must practice an acceptable method of birth control with a failure rate of a Pearl index of less than 1% per year, to be used consistently and correctly throughout the course of the study.
- Ability to understand and give informed consent.
Exclusion
- Sero-positivity to HRV A16
- Use of systemic or nasal topical steroids, inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), systemic immunosuppressants, antibiotics, LABA, and LAMA and oral theophylline and/or roflumilast within 30 days;
- Subjects with evidence of an upper or lower respiratory infection within 6 weeks;
- A history or current evidence of bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, interstitial lung disease or other significant chronic lung disease;
- A history within the last 5 years or current evidence of carcinoma of the bronchus;
- A history within the last 5 years or current evidence of asthma;
- A history of active tuberculosis or history of significant lung disease as a result of previous tuberculosis infection;
- A medical history or current clinical evidence of significant hematological, gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, cerebrovascular, immunologic, psychiatric or cardiovascular disease or event (including uncontrolled hypertension as determined by the Investigator), or any clinical condition that may, in the opinion of the Investigator or Medical Monitor, impact on the subject's ability to participate in the study;
- Clinical laboratory values at screening for neutrophils, hemoglobin and hematocrit which reflect grade 2 or higher reductions from normal range, or ALT results which reflect grade 2 or higher elevations per the 'CTCAE' guidelines. Subjects with other clinical laboratory abnormalities outside normal reference ranges will be considered for inclusion, if in the opinion of the Principal Investigator or Medical Monitor the abnormalities are not clinically significant, or will not jeopardize the safety of the subject or the validity of the study;
- Use of cold preparations, anti-cholinergics, nasal lavage preparations or sprays, cough medications, or prescription or over-the-counter nasal decongestants within 30 days;
- Current abuse of alcohol or illicit drugs, or history of alcohol or illicit drug abuse within the preceding 2 years;
- A positive pregnancy test at screen;
- Received an investigational drug or vaccine within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer), or use of an investigational medical device within 30 days prior to the screening visit or in the interval between screening and study day -1;
- Inability to tolerate nebulization based on the Principal Investigator's medical judgment or a ≥12% drop in FEV1, at either 15 or 30 minutes after the completion of administration of a dose of nebulization test solution (SWFI) of the same volume and under the same nebulization conditions that is planned to be used for study drug administration, compared to the FEV1 obtained immediately prior to administration of the nebulization test solution.
