Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effect of VI-0521 (Qsymia®) on Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) in Overweight or Obese Healthy Subjects (NCT NCT02229214)

NCT ID: NCT02229214

Last Updated: 2017-11-07

Results Overview

Method that uses iohexol clearance and body surface area to measure kidney function. Iohexol is an FDA-approved non-radioactive iodine-containing substance widely used in radio-imaging procedures and as a marker for the measurement of in GFR.
