Official Title: Randomized Double Blind Placebo-controlled Clinical Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetic/-Dynamic Study on the Effects of Escalating Single Intravenous Doses of EA-230 on the Innate Immune Respons
Brief Summary: EA-230 is a newly developed synthetic compound with anti-inflammatory properties. Pre-clinical data indicate that EA-230 may be a valuable treatment for systemic inflammation resulting from a variety of causes such as surgery, trauma, infection, irradiation and others. Although previous studies in healthy volunteers have shown an excellent safety profile, the safety and tolerability of higher doses administered per continuous infusion need to be investigated. Also, the dose-effect relation on systemic inflammation needs to be further elucidated before a phase II trial in patients can be commenced.
