简要总结
This is a, prospective, single center, open-label, pilot study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the subcutaneous administration of a novel furosemide formulation. The results of this pilot study will be reviewed to determine the safety of the subcutaneous treatment regimen and to evaluate patient selection criteria for possible at home treatment. The intent is to conduct a future follow on study looking at the feasibility of at home treatment of patients referred to a hospital for treatment of fluid overload.
详细描述
In this pilot study, the treatment in the hospital setting will simulate how the patient would be treated at home in the feasibility study. The results of this pilot will be used to inform the design of the feasibility study. The future feasibility study will test the concept that removing the need for professional care for furosemide administration allows a proportion of these patients to go home and be treated safely at home.
A total of 10 patients will be studied using an open label approach to assess efficacy, tolerability and safety of subcutaneous administration of a novel furosemide regimen, administered subcutaneously.
Patients who are referred to the hospital for treatment of fluid overload will complete screening and treatment phases. Subjects meeting the eligibility criteria will be administered a test dose of 80mg furosemide USP administered by intravenous (IV) bolus over 2 minutes. Fluid intake will be restricted during the 2-hour observation period.
Only patients who respond to the test dose of commercially available 80mg intravenous (IV) furosemide (alternatively, bumetanide 2 mg IV ) by means of diuresis in excess of 400 mL over 2 hours will be eligible to enter the treatment phase of the study with the Investigational Medicinal Product. Patients who have responded to the equivalent dose of furosemide or bumetanide as part of their clinical care for heart failure in the hospital within 24 hours of recruitment will not require this test dose and will be eligible for entry into the study provided they meet all of the entry criteria for the study.
Non-responders will be treated in the hospital with usual care.

研究组 & 干预措施
Furosemide injection solution 8mg/mL
8mg/mL (total dose=80mg) of furosemide injection solution administered subcutaneously as 30mg over the first hour and then as 12.5 mg per hours over the subsequent 4 hours.
干预措施: Furosemide Injection Solution 8mg/mL (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Efficacy endpoint: Urine output per 24 hours
时间窗: 24 hours
Efficacy will be measured as the ability of the diuretic regimen given one or two times daily to achieve a net 24 hour urine output of 3000 cc or more over the first 24 hours of the study.
Safety endpoint: Composite of Severe hypokalemia, severe hyperkalemia, moderate to severe worsening of renal function, fever, sepsis, intravenous catheter infection, cardiac dysrhythmia causing syncope or requiring therapy or death
时间窗: 24 hours
Safety will be assessed as the composite of developing any of the pre-specified serious adverse events: Severe hypokalemia, severe hyperkalemia, moderate to severe worsening of renal function, fever, sepsis, intravenous catheter infection, cardiac dysrhythmia causing syncope or requiring therapy, death.
