Arm Groups

ArmDescriptionAssigned Intervention
Experimental
USB002
  • Drug: USB002
    USB002 is pharmaceutically formulated Angiotensin 1-7 [A(1-7)], a non-hypertensive derivative of Angiotensin-II (A-II), and is suspended in a vehicle as a sterile solution of USB002. Depending upon cohort assignment, subjects in the USB002 group will receive one of four doses of USB002 administered intravenously (IV).
Placebo Comparator
Placebo
  • Drug: Placebo
    The placebo formulation will be the USB002 formulated solution without the addition of A(1-7). The placebo will be administered intravenously (IV).
