Efficacy and Safety of RMC-035 in Subjects at High Risk for Acute Kidney Injury Following Open-Chest Cardiac Surgery

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2023-05-01
• Target enrollment: 0

Summary

This study evaluates RMC-035 compared to placebo for the prevention of acute kidney injury (AKI) in subjects who are at high risk for AKI following cardiac surgery. Half of the subjects will receive RMC-035 and the other half will receive placebo.

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No
