Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Methacholine (Provocholine) with deep inhalation
two minutes of aerosol inhalation of concentrations of methacholine ranging from 0.03 - 256mg/mL
two minutes of aerosol inhalation of concentrations of methacholine ranging from 0.03 - 256mg/mL every 20 seconds a deep inhalation is performed
Experimental: Mannitol (Aridol)
single deep inhalation of dry powder per dose doses range from 0mg - 160mg (cumulative dose range 0mg-635mg).
Active Comparator: Methacholine (Provocholine) tidal breathing
two minutes of aerosol inhalation of concentrations of methacholine ranging from 0.03 - 256mg/mL
two minutes of aerosol inhalation of concentrations of methacholine ranging from 0.03 - 256mg/mL every 20 seconds a deep inhalation is performed

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Airway responsiveness (PC20) to methacholine delivered over two minutes of tidal breathing
Time Frame: Visit 1 (Day 1)
The two minute tidal breathing PC20 with be captured once at visit 1.
Visit 1 (Day 1)
airway responsiveness (PD15) to inhaled mannitol
Time Frame: Visit 2 = up to 13 days
The PD15 to mannitol will be captured once at either visit 2 or visit 3.
Visit 2 = up to 13 days
Airway responsiveness (PC20) to deep inhalation methacholine
Time Frame: Visit 3 = up to 14 days
The PC20 to methacholine (deep inhalation) will be captured once at either visit 2 or visit 3.
Visit 3 = up to 14 days
