Primary outcomePrimary: Maximum Observed Plasma (Peak) Drug Concentration (Cmax ) — 1078; 1111; 1045; 14.31 picograms per milliliter (pg/mL)
Summary
The study will assess the Pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety of BGF MDI [Budesonide/glycopyrronium/formoterol (BGF) metered dose inhaler (MDI)] formulated with 2 different propellants :Hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) and Hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) with oral activated charcoal in healthy subjects (male or female).
