Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: RMC-035Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
RMC-035 is a concentrate (6.0 mg/mL) for solution for infusion for IV administration. Dosing will be based on renal function at Day -1: Subjects with eGFR ≥60 mL/min/1.73m2 will receive 1.3 mg/kg (per dose) for the first and second dose, followed by 0.65 mg/kg (per dose) for the third, fourth and fifth dose, while subjects with eGFR \>30 and \<60 mL/min/1.73m2 will receive 0.65 mg/kg (per dose) for all five doses Dosing occurs at time 0 and then after 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours.
Group II: PlaceboPlacebo Group1 Intervention
Identical to RMC-035 arm except that the placebo contains no active ingredient.
