Summary

This trial aims to compare two different propellants, HFA-152a and HFA-134a, to see if they cause airways to tighten when used in inhalers. The goal

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-45 with mild asthma, diagnosed at least 6 months ago. They must have stable asthma without severe flare-ups in the past 6 months and not be on certain medications or therapies. Women of childbearing age should meet pregnancy prevention criteria.
What is being tested?
The study compares two propellants used in inhalers: HFA-152a (test) and HFA-134a (reference). It aims to see if they cause airway tightening when used by people with mild asthma, looking for a greener option with less impact on global warming.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions that cause airways to tighten, which could lead to breathing difficulties. The exact side effects will be monitored as this is part of what the study is assessing.
