About this trial
MKC-NI-001 is a Phase 1, first-in-human, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of nintedanib inhalation powder (MNKD-201) in healthy adult volunteers. The trial consists of a Single Ascending Dose (SAD), followed by a Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) with a primary objective to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of MNKD-201 compared to placebo in healthy adult participants.

Has a negative urine test for selected drugs of abuse and negative alcohol test at screening and upon admission to the CRU on Day -1. Note: Participants should not consume poppy seeds within 24 hours before urine drug screening because this can falsify the results of the opiate urine drug test.

Has endocrine, thyroid, or respiratory disease, diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, GI disease, or history of any psychotic mental illness.
Has a history of hepatic disease or has abnormal liver function tests (i.e., aspartate aminotransferase [AST] > 1.5 × upper limit of normal [ULN] or alanine aminotransferase [ALT] > 1.5 × ULN) at screening.
Has renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2), as calculated by Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI), at screening.
