Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 1716 0
This is a Phase 1 trial so it is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of UROCORTIN 2 at various dose levels. Assessed parameters are non-invasive haemodynamic, neurohormones and renal function.
Timepoint [1] 1716 0
Measurements are made half an hour before, and just prior to, commencement of infusion then at half hourly intervals during infusion. At 5 minute intervals for the first 20 minutes post infusion, then half hourly until 2 hours post infusion, then hourly until 8 hours after infusion is completed.
Secondary outcome [1] 3065 0
To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of UROCORTIN 2 in healthy subjects and patients with CHF.
Timepoint [1] 3065 0
During the 1 hour infusion and for the 8 hours after.
Secondary outcome [2] 3066 0
To evaluate selected pharmacodynamic parameters of UROCORTIN 2 in healthy subjects and patients with CHF.
Timepoint [2] 3066 0
Measurements are made half an hour before, and just prior to, commencement of infusion then at half hourly intervals during infusion. At 5 minute intervals for the first 20 minutes post infusion, then half hourly until 2 hours post infusion, then hourly until 8 hours after infusion is completed.
