ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange From Baseline of the Blood Flow for the Total Renal Arteries (Study Part A (Serelaxin Treatment Group Only))Baseline, 120 min post serelaxin infusion
The flow is the average flow over the cardiac cycle. Total renal artery flow = left renal artery flow + right renal artery flow. These measurements were collected through magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) scans. Baseline blood flow for total renal artery is measured at pre-dose (Day 1, 0 min post-treatment)
PrimaryChange From Baseline of the Portal Pressure Gradient (PPG) (Study Part B)Baseline, 120 min post-infusion start
Direct venous pressure was measured by portal pressure gradient (PPG). PPG = portal vein pressure (PVP) - inferior vena cava pressure (IVCP). Baseline blood flow for PPG was measured at pre-dose (Day 1, 0 min post-treatment). PVP was measured at 15 min intervals (i.e. prior to and at 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, and 120 min of serelaxin infusion).
SecondaryChange From Baseline of the Blood Flow for the Total Renal Arteries (Study Part A (Terlipressin Acetate Group Only))Baseline, 120 min post infusion
The flow is the average flow over the cardiac cycle. Total renal artery flow = left renal artery flow + right renal artery flow. These measurements were collected through magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) scans. Baseline blood flow for total renal artery is measured at pre-dose (Day 1, 0 min post-treatment)
SecondaryChange From Baseline of the Blood Flow for the Hepatic Artery (Study Part A (Serelaxin Treatment Group Only))Baseline, 120 min post-infusion
A non-contrast magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) sequence was performed to acquire phase contrast blood flow measurements from vessels of interest such as hepatic artery. The flow is the average flow over the cardiac cycle. Baseline blood flow measurements are measured at pre-dose (Day 1, 0 min post-treatment).
SecondaryChange From Baseline of the Blood Flow for the Superior Mesenteric Artery (Study Part A (Serelaxin Treatment Group Only))Baseline, 120 min post-infusion
A non-contrast magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) sequence was performed to acquire phase contrast blood flow measurements from vessels of interest such as superior mesenteric artery. The flow is the average flow over the cardiac cycle. Baseline blood flow measurements are measured at pre-dose (Day 1, 0 min post-treatment).
SecondaryChange From Baseline of the Blood Flow for the Descending Thoracic Aorta (Study Part A (Serelaxin Treatment Group Only))Baseline, 120 min post-infusion
A non-contrast magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) sequence was performed to acquire phase contrast blood flow measurements from vessels of interest such as descending thoracic aorta. The flow is the average flow over the cardiac cycle. Baseline blood flow measurements are measured at pre-dose (Day 1, 0 min post-treatment).
SecondaryChange From Baseline of the Blood Flow for the Portal Vein (Study Part A (Serelaxin Treatment Group Only))Baseline, 120 min post-infusion
A non-contrast magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) sequence was performed to acquire phase contrast blood flow measurements from vessels of interest such as the portal vein. The flow is the average flow over the cardiac cycle. Baseline blood flow measurements are measured at pre-dose (Day 1, 0 min post-treatment).
SecondaryChange From Baseline of the Portal Vein Pressure (PVP) (Study Part B)Baseline, 120 min post infusionPortal vein pressure was measured at 15 min intervals (i.e. prior to and at 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, and 120 min of serelaxin infusion).
