- Intolerability to study drug as measured by: oxyhemoglobin saturation, treatment-emergent cough, and new wheezes or crackles [ Time Frame: Day 1, Day 7 ]

- Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), serious adverse events (SAEs) and/or withdrawals due to TEAEs [ Time Frame: Day 7 ]
- Mean change from pre-dose in pulse and respiratory rate at defined times post-dose [ Time Frame: Day 1, Day 7 ]
- Mean change from baseline in pulse and respiratory rate [ Time Frame: Day 7 ]
- Incidence of new medical condition(s) or worsening of previous medical condition(s) from baseline [ Time Frame: Day 7 ]
