Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Adverse events assessments after single and multiple ascending dose administration at baseline and repeatedly until study completion
    • Time Frame: Starting about 24 hours before dosing and continued until about 7-14 days after last dose

    • Time Frame: Starting about 24 hours before dosing and continued until about 7-14 days after last dose
    • This safety outcome combines the measure of a set of cardiovascular safety parameters extracted from ECGs, 25 hours-Holter ECGs and from vital signs assessments
