Overview

About this study

Safety and efficacy study of SANGUINATE on reduction of delayed graft function (DGF) in patients who will be recipients of a donation after brain death (DBD) donor kidney.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

  • Subject is to be the recipient of a first kidney transplant from a deceased donor (brain death criteria).
  • Is able to receive intravenous infusions of study drug.
  • Anticipated donor organ cold ischemia time < 30 hours.
  • A calculated prediction of DGF risk of least 25%.
  • Females of childbearing potential must agree to use 2 forms of effective birth control regimen (at least one-barrier method) during the initial 30-day study period.
  • Male subjects must agree to use condoms or other suitable means of pregnancy prevention.

  • Is scheduled to receive a blood type-incompatible donor kidney
  • Has undergone desensitization to remove antibodies prior to transplantation
  • Total bilirubin > 1.5 mg per dL, transaminase more than twice the upper limit of normal or evidence of hepatic insufficiency 
  • Has participated in an investigational study within the last 30 days or received an investigational product within 5 half-lives of the study drug administration, whichever is longest

  • Has a history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) 
  • History or presence of active substance abuse (illicit drugs or alcohol) in the previous 6 months, as believed by the Investigator

    • unstable angina
    • decompensated heart failure
    • third degree heart block 
    • cardiac arrhythmia associated with hemodynamic instability 
  • History or presence of any disease or psychiatric condition that in the Investigator's assessment that would increase the risk to subjects associated with study participation, drug administration or interpretation of results
