Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Aerosolized Sargramostim
A self-controlled, open-label study to evaluate safety of Sargramostim administered by nebulization
The final dilution of sargramostim will occur at the bedside by a study team member. Cohort 1 will receive sargramostim 0.04 mcg/kg/dose nebulized to the inspiratory loop of the patients' mechanical ventilator circuit for 15 minutes.
Other Names:
  • Cohort 1
The final dilution of sargramostim will occur at the bedside by a study team member. Cohort 1 will receive sargramostim 0.2 mcg/kg/dose nebulized to the inspiratory loop of the patients' mechanical ventilator circuit for 15 minutes.
Other Names:
  • Cohort 2
The final dilution of sargramostim will occur at the bedside by a study team member. Cohort 1 will receive sargramostim 1 mcg/kg/dose nebulized to the inspiratory loop of the patients' mechanical ventilator circuit for 15 minutes.
Other Names:
  • Cohort 3
