Safety and Efficacy of Treprostinil (Remodulin®) In Reducing Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury During Kidney Transplantation

Treprostinil (Remodulin) will be administered IV by a standard 3 + 3 dose-escalation approach. This dosing model will be followed until a target dose of 15 mg/kg/min is achieved or if it is medically determined that side effects prevent dose escalation. IV infusion will commence approximately 2-3 hours before transplantation of the kidney graft and will continue for approximately 48 hours after completion of surgery, unless hemodynamic changes or tolerability require discontinuation of treprostinil.
