Brief summary

This is a Randomized, Single-blind, Multi-center, Placebo-controlled, Phase 2a clinical trial of BX-001N to prevent patients from Cardiac Surgery Associated Acute Kidney Injury (CSA-AKI) and subsequent Major Adverse Kidney Events (MAKE) in approximately 50 participants.

Detailed description

This study will enroll approximately 50 participants, with 16 participants randomized to Experimental Group 1 and 4 participants to the Placebo Group 1, 15 participants to Experimental Group 2 and 15 participants to the Placebo Group 2. Randomized participants will be hospitalized from one day prior to surgery (Baseline, Day -1) through Day 7. Investigational product (IP) (i.e., BX-001N) will be administered intravenously at a weight-based dose as follows: The test drug will be administered three times in total. Participants in the Placebo Group will receive placebo at the same time points and in the same manner. Follow-up visits will be conducted up to Day 90 at the study site for scheduled efficacy and safety assessments.

Interventions

DRUGBX-001N Experimental group 1

Each participant will receive BX-001N at a weight-based low dose via IV injection once daily for a total of three administrations.

DRUGBX-001N Experimental group 2

Each participant will receive BX-001N at a weight-based high dose via IV injection once daily at the same time during hospitalization, for a total of three administrations.

Each participant will receive Placebo at a weight-based dose via IV injection once daily at the same time during hospitalization, for a total of three administrations.

Each participant will receive Placebo at a weight-based dose via IV injection once daily at the same time during hospitalization, for a total of three administrations.
