Brief summary
Normal subjects will receive unfractionated heparin followed by a single dose of PER977 with dose escalation by cohort. Ten subjects enrolled in Cohort 4 will receive a single dose of PER977 followed by a one-week washout and then will receive unfractionated heparin followed by a single dose of PER977. The study will provide some insight into the doses that may be required to reverse anticoagulation induced by heparin.
