a

Data represented as mean ± SD (n = 6).

b

FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1 s; FVC, forced vital capacity; MIP, minimum inspiratory pressure; MEP, maximum expiratory pressure.

c

For lung function parameters, n = 5, as subject 2 did not undergo lung function tests since he presented with hemoptysis.

d

One to two hours postadministration for lung function test; 12 h postadministration for eGFR.

e

No statistically significant difference between pre- and postdose measurements for FEV1, FVC, MIP, and MEP.

f

Due to time constraints in the lung function laboratory, n = 5, as FEV1 and FVC could not be carried out for subject 2.

g

No statistically significant difference was found between pre- and postdose measurements for eGFR following nebulized CMS delivery. A statistically significant difference was found between pre- and postdose measurements for eGFR following i.v. CMS delivery.

h

n = 4 for nebulized 2 million IU CMS and n = 5 for i.v. 150 mg of CBA.
