Liver Function Assessment - Feasibility and Dosing Study
- Conditions
- Hepatic Failure
- Interventions
- Drug: ICG Dye
- Registration Number
- NCT02516319
- Lead Sponsor
- Cardiox Corporation
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to 1) determine the feasibility of using Cardiox Liver Function Assessment System (LFA) to measure indocyanine green (ICG) clearance; 2) determine an adequate dose based on LFA technology and 3) determine an adequate time period for LFA determination.
- Detailed Description
Four cohorts of subjects will be enrolled. The fist two cohorts will receive fixed doses of ICG dye (2.5 mg, 5.0 mg, 7.5 mg, 10.0 mg) followed by 20 minutes of LFT monitoring. The final two cohorts will receive weight based doses of ICG dye (0.1 mg/kg, 0.5 mg/kg) followed by 20 minutes of LFT monitoring. Additionally the final two cohorts will have serial blood draws before the ICG dose and at 5, 10, 15 and 20 minutes post ICG dose.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method ICG dye detection using the LFT system compared to serial blood sampling ethods. 20 minutes post ICG dose Determination of an adequate dose for the Cardiox Liver Functioning Assessment LFA system to produce liver function assessments consistent with serial blood sampling methods.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Repeatability of the Cardiox LFA system to detect the ICG fluorescence in the same subjects over time. 20 minutes post ICG dose ICG fluorescence detection at the scaphoid fossa of the ears 20 minutes post ICG dose
