Effects of Intravenous K201 on the Restoration of Sinus Rhythm in Subjects With Symptomatic Atrial Fibrillation
- Registration Number
- NCT01259622
- Lead Sponsor
- Sequel Pharmaceuticals, Inc
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of a single intravenous infusion of K201 compared to placebo in a dose escalating manner on conversion to sinus rhythm, reduction of subject's symptom score, and safety.
