Brief Summary:
The primary objective of this study is to determine if more diagnoses of lung cancer are obtained from the cytological evaluation of sputum expectorated following a single inhaled dose of UTP compared to sputum expectorated following a single inhaled dose of placebo in patients suspected of having lung cancer.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Lung Cancer Drug: Uridine 5'-Triphosphate (UTP) Solution for Inhalation Phase 3

Ages Eligible for Study:   Child, Adult, Older Adult
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • be suspected of having primary lung cancer based upon chest radiograph(s), CT scan(s), or PET scan(s) and with symptom, risk profile, or history suggestive of malignancy
  • have FEV1 greater than or equal to 40% predicted normal for age and height

Exclusion Criteria:
