Summary
The purpose of this research study is to explore the mechanism of action of Mucinex, an
oral, over-the-counter, FDA approved expectorant in patients with acute respiratory tract
infections.
Clinical Details
Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Control: Placebo Control, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Treatment
Primary outcome: Assess biological effect between Mucinex 1200mg and placebo on mucociliary and cough clearance during an acute RTI by quantifying rate of removal from the lung of inhaled radioactive tracer particles in otherwise healthy, non-smoking adults.
Secondary outcome: Blood will be drawn to determine amount of Mucinex in the serum.Assess sputum properties (objective measures) and symptoms (subjective measures) after treatment with Mucinex or placebo.
