Detailed Description

This study will have multiple parts: Part A, Part B, and Part C. Part B will be conducted if supported by evaluation in healthy volunteers in another Phase 1a Gilead study (GS-US-553-9018). Participants in Part C will be enrolled after review of preliminary safety and available efficacy data from Parts A and B through at least Day 7. GS-US-553-9018 is a Phase 1a randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled, single- and multiple-dose study in healthy volunteers to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of remdesivir administered by inhalation.
