What this study is testing

What is RCS-21 (SAD)?

RCS-21 (SAD) is an investigational medicine, given as an inhaled treatment, being studied as a potential treatment for healthy volunteers.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of RCS-21 in healthy volunteers. Participants will be asked to inhale a single dose of RCS-21 and their health status will be constantly monitored.
