MTR107 effect on blood pressure throught the dialysis procedure and its ability to prevent Intra dialytic Hypotension
The present clinical trial aims to investigate and provide a more precise characterization of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of MTR107 in a population of ESRD patients predisposed to developing intradialytic hypotension. The study is also designed as a dose esclating study aiming to assess MTR107 safety.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Age 20-75 years, inclusive.
Presence of frequent bouts of hypotension defined as 3 or more intradialytic hypotensive events per month for the last six months prior to baseline, despite standard adjustments in dry weight.
ECG performed up to one month before study start.
