The research physician about this research

Additional information

In this clinical trial we will investigate how safe the study compound is and how well it is tolerated when it is used by healthy participants. We will also investigate how quickly and to what extent the study compound is absorbed, transported and eliminated by the body (this is called pharmacokinetics).

The study compound could potentially be used for the treatment of worsening heart failure. With worsening heart failure, the heart cannot pump the blood well enough anymore, resulting in blood and fluid collecting in the lungs and legs. Worsening of chronic heart failure is usually treated with diuretics, which are medicines that help reduce fluid buildup in the body, but do not fully resolve the congestion leaving the patients at risk of suffering new episodes of worsening heart failure and subsequent hospitalization. The study compound is aimed to relax the blood vessels, improve functioning of the heart and help the kidneys to remove water and salt.

HOW LONG DOES THIS RESEARCH TAKE

Period of stay and research

The trial consists of 1 period during which you will stay in the research facility in Groningen (location van Swietenlaan 6) for 10 days (9 nights). The follow-up visit will take place between 21 and 23 days after your departure from the research facility.

Frequently asked questions

Sie dürfen höchstens 4 Mal pro Jahr an einer Studie teilnehmen. Zwischen zwei Studien müssen mindestens 30 Tage liegen. Für einige Studien gilt eine längere Wartezeit.

Während der Studie können leichte Beschwerden wie Kopfschmerzen oder Übelkeit auftreten. Dies kann durch das Medikament verursacht werden. Aber es kann zum Beispiel auch daran liegen, dass Sie für die Studie nüchtern bleiben müssen. Diese Nebenwirkungen sind unangenehm, aber glücklicherweise nicht gefährlich.

Bevor ein Medikament am Menschen erprobt werden darf, wurde es bereits umfassend in einem Labor getestet. So lässt sich gut vorhersagen, welche Nebenwirkungen eventuell bei Ihnen auftreten werden, damit Sie sich darauf einstellen können. So kommt es fast nie vor, dass Teilnehmer unter unerwarteten Nebenwirkungen leiden.

Eine Studie umfasst in der Regel fünf bis zwölf Teilnehmer. Die Gruppen werden so zusammengestellt, dass sie optimal zu den Anforderungen der Studie passen. Diese Anforderungen sind in jeder Studie beschrieben. Sehen Sie sich alle aktuellen Studien an.
