Lung Deposition of the BDP/Formoterol Combination Administered Via the NEXT DPI in Healthy, Asthmatic and COPD Patients

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the lung deposition and distribution pattern of Beclometasone and Formoterol using a gamma-scintigraphic technique after inhalation of a single dose of 99mTc-radiolabelled BDP/formoterol fixed combination administered Via the NEXT DPI in healthy volunteers, asthmatic and COPD patients. Additionally, the systemic exposures to formoterol, BDP and its monopropionate metabolite (B17MP) will be investigated.
