What the study is about
Background
Heart disease is the leading cause of death, disability, and healthcare expense in the United States. Researchers think a new drug called Fx-5A may be useful to treat different cardiovascular diseases and inflammation.
Objective
To understand the safety, tolerability, and effects of Fx-5A.
Eligibility
Healthy people ages 18 and older who are not pregnant
Design
Participants will be screened with
Medical history
Physical exam
Blood tests
Pregnancy test for female participants
Participants will stay in the hospital for 36-48 hours. This will include:
Blood tests
EKGs: Electrodes will be placed on the participant s chest. The patches are connected to cables that will send information from their heart to a machine.
Single infusion of Fx-5A. A needle will be used to insert a plastic tube into a vein in the participant s arm. This tube will remain in the arm for the duration of the hospital stay for blood tests.
Participants will have follow-up visits day 7 and day 28 after their infusion. At these visits, they will have blood tests and an EKG.
Participation will last 5-10 weeks.
Being studied: Fx-5A peptide complex
Conditions: Cardiovascular Disease
