Intervention Type
Drug
Intervention Name(s)
USB002
Intervention Description
USB002 is pharmaceutically formulated Angiotensin 1-7 [A(1-7)], a non-hypertensive derivative of Angiotensin-II (A-II), and is suspended in a vehicle as a sterile solution of USB002. Depending upon cohort assignment, subjects in the USB002 group will receive one of four doses of USB002 administered intravenously (IV).
Intervention Type
Drug
Intervention Name(s)
Placebo
Intervention Description
The placebo formulation will be the USB002 formulated solution without the addition of A(1-7). The placebo will be administered intravenously (IV).
