Imaging Biomarkers of Pulmonary Inflammation
In Brief
A Early Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating placebo pill and placebo IV, Lovastatin pill and placebo IV, and 2 other interventions for Lung Inflammation. Completed, enrolled 22 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
In this randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial we used positron emission tomography to determine if lovastatin or recombinant human activated protein C exhibit anti-inflammatory effects in humans following intrabronchial installation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS or endotoxin).
