Renal Failure, Chronic
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01875523
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

The study is designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability, immunogenicity and pharmacogenetics of a single dose of serelaxin/RLX030 in patients with severe renal impairment and end-stage-renal-disease (ESRD) compared to healthy volunteers.

Exclusion Criteria

All subjects

  • History of clinically significant ECG abnormalities at Screening or Baseline.
  • Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women
  • Women of child-bearing potential unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception during dosing of study treatment.
  • Sexually active males (incl. vasectomized men) must use a condom during intercourse while taking drug and for 2 weeks after stopping study medication.
  • Recent (within the last three years) and/or recurrent history of autonomic dysfunction (e.g., recurrent episodes of fainting, palpitations, etc.).

Patients with severe renal impairment / ESRD:

  • Presence of any non-controlled and clinically significant disease, surgical or medical condition that could affect the study outcome or that would place the patient at undue risk as judged by the investigator.
  • Hemoglobin levels below 9.0 g/dL at screening and baseline, other laboratory parameters at screening and baseline outside acceptable limits .
  • Treatment with any cytostatic drug or autonomic alpha blocker.

Healthy subjects:

  • Use of any prescription drugs (other than hormonal contraception, herbal supplements, within four (4) weeks prior to initial dosing, and/or over-the-counter (OTC) medication, dietary supplements (vitamins included) within two (2) weeks prior to initial dosing.
  • History or presence of any disease, surgical or medical condition of any major system organ class considered clinically significant by the investigator.
  • Laboratory parameter at screening and baseline outside of normal limits. For small deviations which could be attributed to the characteristics of the subjects (e.g. age) it will be to the discretion of the investigator to consider them as exclusive or not.
  • A positive Hepatitis B surface antigen or Hepatitis C test result.
