A Single-Center Prospective Study Evaluating the FAST Measured Glomerular Filtration Rate (mGFR) Test™ in Adults With Preserved Kidney Function and Impaired Kidney Function With Comparison to Iohexol Clearance Methods

This is a single site study designed to evaluate the FAST mGFR Test™ in healthy adult
volunteers, patients with varying degrees of chronic kidney disease (CKD), and patients with
acute kidney injury (AKI).

A rapid and accurate measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is important in acute
kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) for assessment of impairment, diagnosis,
and prompt treatment. FAST BioMedical is an emerging technology company whose mission is to
quantify clinically meaning ful physiological parameters that have been difficult or
impossible to measure. GFR is the most clinically relevant metric for understanding renal
function, as it is the rate by which the kidney is able to filter waste products in the
bloodstream. The FAST mGFR is for direct measurement of GFR that relies on reading the ratio
of fluorescent markers attached to different size dextran molecules introduced into the
bloodstream. The test is intended as an adjunct to current methods utilized to assess kidney
function.

Inclusion Criteria for Groups 1-3:

- Female subjects: women must have a negative urine pregnancy test at screening and
before dosing on Visit 2 and be either confirmed by the Investigator to be infertile
or using a reliable method of contraception Male subjects: reproductively active men
must agree to either practice abstinence or utilize adequate contraception.

- Ages 19 to 75

- Subject's screening must fall into one of the available categories of estimated
glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) renal function: ≥ 60 mL/min for stage normal
function; 30-59 mL/min for stage 3, moderate CKD; 15-29 mL/min for stage 4, severe
CKD,

- Patients must not be on inotropes or vasopressors, and must be absent of significant
hemodynamic instabilities.

- Patients must have ceased use of the following:

- nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs - 6 days prior,

- cimetidine and trimethoprim - 14 days prior to testing.

- Ability to comply with study conditions

Inclusion Criteria for Group 4:

- Female subjects; women must have a negative urine pregnancy test at screening and before
dosing on Visit 2 and be either confirmed by the Investigator to be infertile or using a
reliable method of contraception.

Male subjects: reproductively active men must agree to either practice abstinence or
utilize adequate contraception.

- Ages 19 to 75

Network (AKIN) stage 2 AKI]

least 5 minutes.

- Subjects with a known or suspected history of drug or alcohol misuse within 6 months
prior to screening, subjects who have consumed alcohol within 48 hours of dosing, or
subjects who the Investigator believes to be unfit to participate in the study due to
abuse of illegal or controlled substances.

Hepatitis C virus antibody (HCVAb) screen.

- Would make him/her, in the opinion of the Investigator, unsuitable for the study

- Whose condition is likely to deteriorate

- Who, in the opinion of the Investigator, is not likely to complete the study for
any reason
