SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 hours

Population: Heart failure subject (n=6) had baseline levels of hydrogen sulfide recorded at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 hours after the administration of the first dose of each of the escalating doses of SG1002.

At the start of each dose, blood samples will be obtained and circulating hydrogen sulfide levels will be assessed over a 24 hour period to determine whether SG1002 can overcome the deficits reported in heart failure patients. Peak hydrogen sulfide levels were measured during the first 4 hours post-administration when maximum concentrations of hydrogen sulfide were reached.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: 7 days at each dose.

Population: Levels of BNP were recorded at baseline and every 7 days in the placebo group or the SG1002 dose escalation group.

BNP levels were measured for the each subject prior to treatment and after 7 days on each treatment dose, thus representing a change in BNP over the 21 day treatment period. Increased BNP levels are associated with worsening heart failure.
