About

Analysis of the effect of the NO-Synthase inhibitor VAS203 (6 hours infusion of 10 mg/kg) on renal function and perfusion in 16 healthy subjects.

Full description

Analysis of the effect of i.v. VAS203 on renal function and perfusion in healthy subjects.

Primary objective:

Possible adverse effect of VAS203 on the Renal Plasma Flow (RPF) and the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) during and after 6 hours of constant-rate iv. infusion of 10 mg/kg VAS203.

Secondary objective:

To analyse the effects of VAS203 on

• filtration fraction
• hemodynamics (afferent and efferent resistance, intraglomerular pressure)
• markers of kidney injury and renal function
• systolic, mean and diastolic brachial blood pressure
• Plasma Pharmacokinetic of VAS203 and its first metabolite.

Enrollment: 16 patients

Sex: Male

Ages: 18 to 45 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers
