About this study

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.

Read the detailed 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.
Being tested
VAS203, Saline

    Measured: 0, 2h, 4h, 6h and 8 h after start of infusion

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Serum Creatinine Concentration

    Measured: 0, 2h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 24h and 48h after start of infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing VAS203 and Saline in people with Renal Function Impairment in Healthy Volunteers, run by veriNOS operations GmbH at 1 site in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Aug 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Renal Plasma Flow (time frame: 0, 2h, 4h, 6h and 8 h after start of infusion). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Aug 2019.
