Description Module

Brief Summary

This study is being done because we want to learn if hemin can increase the production of heme oxygenase 1. Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) is an enzyme which protects cells from physical, chemical, and biologic stress. Hemin is produced from red blood cells and is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treating acute porphyria, which is an inherited condition caused by an enzyme deficiency.

Detailed Description

Heme-oxygenase 1 (HO-1) degrades heme, protects cells against oxidative stress, and is beneficial in several experimental models but has not been pharmacologically activated in humans. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of hemin on HO-1 activity in healthy subjects. Hemin is the most powerful inducer of HO-1. Hemin is FDA-approved to treat acute intermittent porphyria. In addition, hemin has also been used to treat thalassemia intermedia, myelodysplastic syndrome, and to control liver allograft failure due to recurrence of erythropoietic prototheria. Our hypothesis is that compared to placebo, hemin will increase HO-1 in humans. Ten healthy subjects will be randomized to hemin (n = 5, Panhematin®, Ovation Pharmaceuticals, 3 mg/kg i.v. in 25% albumin) or placebo (n = 5, 25% albumin) infusion. HO-1 activity will be assessed before and after (4, 6, 24, and 48 hours) infusions.

Label	Type	Description	Intervention Names
Hemin	Experimental		Drug: Hemin infusion
placebo	Placebo Comparator		Drug: placebo infusion

Interventions

Name	Type	Description	Arm Group Labels	Other Names
Hemin infusion	Drug	Hemin (Panhematin®, Ovation Pharmaceuticals, Deerfield, IL) will be administered through a large-caliber peripheral vein at a dose of 1.25 mL/kg and at a rate of 60 mL/hour. To enhance stability, Panhematin® will be diluted in ~ 132 mL of 25% albumin to obtain a hemin concentration of 2.4 mg/mL.

Eligibility Module

Eligibility Criteria

Healthy non pregnant not breast feeding, and non-smoking subjects aged 18 - 65 years old without clinical evidence of significant cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, hematological, neurological, psychiatric or other disease that may interfere with the objectives of the study and/or pose safety concerns. No symptoms of functional GI disorder as assessed by a validated questionnaire.
No medications except for stable doses of oral contraceptives or thyroid supplementation. Because ascorbic acid can induce HO-1 activity, multivitamins will need to be discontinued for 1 week before and for the duration of the study.
No intolerance or allergy to eggs
Able to provide written informed consent before participating in the study
Able to communicate adequately with the investigator and to comply with the requirements for the entire study
Screening weight < 96 kg
