The study was performed to assess the effect of PH-797804 on neutrophils (white cells) in the sputum after a challenge with an endotoxin (inhaled LPS). Neutrophils are a sign of inflammation and PH-797804 is being developed as a potential anti-inflammatory treatment for patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
