Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Effects of MTR107 in End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Patients

Phase 2

• Conditions: Hypotension; End Stage Renal Disease; Intra Dialytic Hypotension

• Registration Number: NCT00448071
• Lead Sponsor: Wolfson Medical Center

Brief Summary

MTR107 effect on blood pressure throught the dialysis procedure and its ability to prevent Intra dialytic Hypotension

Detailed Description

The present clinical trial aims to investigate and provide a more precise characterization of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of MTR107 in a population of ESRD patients predisposed to developing intradialytic hypotension. The study is also designed as a dose esclating study aiming to assess MTR107 safety.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Age 20-75 years, inclusive.

3. ECG performed up to one month before study start.

4. Well-preserved hepatic function (within normal laboratory ranges) at study entry as judged by:
