Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To investigate the role of VRP-034 in attenuating polymyxin B associated nephrotoxicity compared to commercially available polymyxin B in healthy adult male human subjects using early kidney injury biomarkers after single ascending dose and multiple dose administration.Timepoint: For SAD 2 and 3 at 24 hrs, For Multidose at 48 hrs

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the nephrotoxicity associated with VRP-034 vs commercially available polymyxin B using a composite measure of early kidney injury urinary biomarkersTimepoint: For SAD at 48 hrs For Multidose at 24 hrs;To monitor the safety and tolerability of subjectsTimepoint: Throughout study;To assess the pharmacokinetics of polymyxin B for PK parametersTimepoint: Cmax and AUC0-t.;Assess the incidence of Acute kidney injury (AKI) and severity of renal damage (using RIFLE criteria by considering serum creatinine)Timepoint: Pre-dose and on days 1, 2, 7 and 14 days;To assess the change in the traditional kidney injury markers (serum creatinine, Blood urea nitrogen (BUN)Timepoint: Pre-dose and on days 1, 2, 7 and 14 days;To assess the change in the traditional kidney injury markers (urinary creatinine, albumin, and urine total protein/urinary protein) at firstTimepoint: Pre-dose and on days 1, 2, 7 and 14 days
