Evaluation of the Safety and Tolerability of Gemini in Subjects With Stage 3-4 Chronic Kidney Disease.

Description

Gemini is being evaluated in a placebo controlled, single dose, escalating dose study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of intravenous Gemini in adult subjects with stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease. Pharmacokinetics will be evaluated and measurements of the effect of Gemini on pharmacodynamic activity will be measured to assess changes in potential pharmacodynamic markers.

Conditions

Renal Insufficiency, Chronic, Chronic Kidney Disease stage3, Chronic Kidney Disease stage4
