Detailed Description:

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: Patients may be treated on any of three different regimens. Patients may be treated on more than one regimen, if they meet the eligibility requirements. Patients on regimen A are adults and receive uridine triphosphate (UTP) by inhalation, followed immediately by bronchoscopy.

Patients on regimen B are children, aged 4 to 10 years. Patients receive up to 4 graded doses of UTP by inhalation on day 1. On day 2, patients receive a single dose of UTP. Patients receive amiloride followed by UTP by inhalation on day 3.

Patients on regimen C are children, aged 4 to 18 years. Patients inhale a radiolabelled (technetium 99m) monodisperse iron oxide aerosol.

Radiation deposited in the patient's lungs is monitored. Patients are randomized to receive one of 4 different aerosols (vehicle; UTP; amiloride; or UTP plus amiloride), which is inhaled for 20 minutes. Patients are followed 24 hours after aerosol exposure.

Regimen D is a dose escalation study in which patients are aged 9 to 40 years. Patients receive either the vehicle or UTP by inhalation 3 times daily for 3 days. Cohorts of 4 patients each are entered at each dose level.
