Liver Function Assessment - Feasibility and Dosing Study

Not Applicable
Terminated
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.
