Study Treatments 

The planned enrollment is 600 adult participants admitted through Emergency Departments of ten clinical sites. Participants will receive combined standard aerosolized doses of budesonide (1.0 mg/2 ml) and formoterol (20 mcg/2 ml) or placebo (4 ml aerosolized 0.9% saline) twice daily for up to 5 days (or until hospital discharge), with the first dose administered within 4 hours following randomization. Blood will be collected as part of this trial at baseline, before study drug is received, and on Day 2, approximately 48 hours after receiving the first dose of study drug. Our site is hoping to enroll 10 patients.
