A Phase 1, Two Part, Placebo-controlled, Single Dose Study in Healthy Volunteers and Multiple Dose Study in Patients With Refractory Chronic Cough to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and PK of NTX-1175 Administered Via Nebulizer (NOC-100) and Dry Powder Inhaler (NOC-110)

NOC110-C-102

Part 1 will evaluate the safety, tolerability and PK of single doses of three dose levels of NTX-1175 drug substance administered by dry powder inhaler (NOC-110) compared to a single dose reference nebulizer (NOC-100) treatment in healthy participants. Part 2 will evaluate the safety, tolerability and PK of multiple doses of NTX-1175 drug substance administered by dry powder inhaler (NOC-110) to participants with refractory chronic cough. Part 2 will also evaluate the treatment effect of multiple doses of one dose level of NTX-1175 drug substance administered by dry powder inhaler (NOC-110).
