A Phase 2b Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of FAST PV and mGFR Technology™ in Healthy Subjects and Patients With Varying Degrees of Renal Impairment

This is a Phase 2b, prospective, open-label study designed to evaluate the safety,
tolerability, PK, and PD of FAST PV and mGFR Technology in healthy subjects and patients with
varying degrees of renal impairment.

For Cohorts 1 and 2, administration of the study drug will occur within 21 days of screening.
Eligible subjects/patients will be admitted to the clinical research unit (CRU) on Day -1, at
which time assessments will be performed, and results from both screening and Day -1
(inclusion/exclusion criteria, body weight, height [screening only], body mass index [BMI],
medical and surgical history, physical examination, vital signs and pulse oximetry, 12 lead
ECG, clinical laboratory tests, renal function assessment, follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH;
screening only] and pregnancy test [females only], and urine drugs of abuse and alcohol
screen) will be reviewed to confirm eligibility.

For Cohorts 3 and 4, administration of the study drug will occur within 21 days of screening.
Eligible subjects/patients will be admitted to the CRU on Day 1, at which time assessments
will be performed and results from both screening and predose administration testing
(inclusion/exclusion criteria, body weight, height [screening only], BMI, medical and
surgical history, physical examination, vital signs and pulse oximetry, 12 lead ECG, clinical
laboratory tests, renal function assessment, FSH and pregnancy test [screening only], and
urine drugs of abuse and alcohol screen) will be reviewed to confirm eligibility.

Cohort 1:

Eligible subjects will receive a single dose of VFI followed 130 minutes later by a 350 mL
infusion of 5% albumin up to maximum volume of 7 mL/kg over 30 minutes on Day 1. Subjects
will remain resident in the CRU for at least 24 hours after VFI administration for safety,
PK, and PD assessments. Subjects will return to the CRU for an end-of-study (EOS) visit on
Day 21 (± 1 day).

Cohort 2:

Eligible subjects will receive a dose of VFI followed 160 minutes later by a single dose of
Iohexol on Day 1 and a second dose of VFI 24 hours following the initial dose of VFI.
Subjects will remain resident in the CRU for at least 24 hours after the second VFI
administration for safety, PK, and PD assessments. Subjects will return to the CRU for
follow-up visits on Days 5 (± 1 day), 9 (± 1 day), and 16 (± 1 day) and an EOS visit on Day
22 (± 1 day).

Cohorts 3 and 4:

Eligible patients will receive a single dose of VFI followed 160 minutes later by a single
dose of Iohexol on Day 1. Patients will remain in the CRU through the 12-hour sample
collection after VFI administration for safety, PK, and PD assessments. . Patients will stay
at a local hotel near the CRU and will return to the CRU on Day 2 for the 24-hour sample
collection. Patients will return to the CRU for follow-up visits on Days 4 (± 1 day), 8 (± 1
day), and 15 (± 1 day) and an EOS visit on Day 21 (± 1 day).

follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) test] or surgically sterile by hysterectomy,
bilateral oophorectomy, or tubal ligation [documentation required] or be using a
medically acceptable form of birth control [eg, a barrier method, intrauterine device,
or hormonal contraception]) from screening until 30 days after last dose.

3. Males who are sexually active and whose partners are females of childbearing potential
must agree to practice abstinence or use condoms from screening through 90 days after

4. Males must agree to not donate sperm from screening through 90 days after
administration of the last dose of study drug.

5. Subjects must be able to communicate effectively with the study personnel.

admission.

BMI = weight (kg)/(height [m])2

Subjects with Normal Renal Function (Cohorts 1 and 2):

8. Subjects must have an eGFR (calculated using the CKD-EPI Equation) ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2
consistent with the National Kidney Foundation stages 1 and 2 of CKD.

9. Subjects must be otherwise healthy and without clinically significant abnormalities as
assessed by review of medical and surgical history, physical examination, vital signs
measurement, pulse oximetry, ECG, and clinical laboratory evaluations conducted at
screening and CRU admission. A single repeat measurement/test may be performed, at the
discretion of the physician, to confirm vital signs, pulse oximetry, ECG, and clinical
laboratory tests abnormalities (ie, to confirm that a subject is eligible).

Patients with Renal Impairment (Cohorts 3 and 4):

10. Patients in Cohort 3 must have an eGFR (calculated using the CKD-EPI Equation) ≥ 30
and < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 consistent with the National Kidney Foundation stages 3a and
3b of CKD.

and < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 consistent with the National Kidney Foundation stage 4 of CKD.

12. Patients may have clinical, ECG, and clinical laboratory findings consistent with
their degree of renal dysfunction as assessed by review of medical and surgical
history, physical examination, vital signs measurement, pulse oximetry, ECG, and
clinical laboratory evaluations conducted at screening and CRU admission. A single
repeat measurement/test may be performed, at the discretion of the physician, to
confirm vital signs, pulse oximetry, ECG, and clinical laboratory tests abnormalities
(ie, to confirm that a subject is eligible).
