This is an open label, randomized, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two dose levels (2.5 mL and 5.0 mL) of Indigotindisulfonate Sodium Injection, USP 0.8% when used as an aid in the determination of ureteral patency in patients with different degrees of renal impairment.
An estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at baseline will be determined using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) and standardized by using individual's body surface area as described in the FDA's Renal Impairment guidance. Qualified subjects/patients will be stratified into 4 cohorts based on their eGFR at baseline: patients with normal renal function (eGFR ≥ 90 mL/min), patients with mild (eGFR 60-89 mL/min), moderate (eGFR 30-59 mL/min) and severe (eGFR 15-29 mL/min) renal impairment.
Up to ten study centers in the United States will enroll up to approximately 12 subjects per cohort (48 subjects in total) scheduled for a surgical procedure in which the patency of the ureter must be assessed by cystoscopy following the procedure, age 18 to 85 years inclusive covering the full renal function range from normal, mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment. For each subject/patient the study will consist of a screening period (Day -30 to Day -2), a baseline evaluation (Day -1 to Day 1) and a single treatment period (Day 1) with an onsite observation period of 24 hours post-dose. After signing the informed consent, review of inclusion and exclusion criteria will be performed, the collection of concomitant medications, medical history, physical examination, baseline laboratory testing, 12-lead ECG, and vital sign measurements will be completed during the screening visit.
On the day of surgery (Day 1) subjects will be evaluated for eligibility for randomization. Eligible subjects will be stratified by cohort and randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive a dose of either Bludigo™ high dose (5.0 mL) or Bludigo™ low dose (2.5 mL). All randomized subjects will serve as his/her own control (i.e., intra-patient controlled) for efficacy by receiving a dose of normal saline prior to receiving the randomized Bludigo™ dose. The surgeon will be blinded to the Bludigo™ dose a subject receives. Time of injection of saline and Bludigo™ will be captured.
All treated subjects will have a follow-up visit 7 to 30 days (± 2 days) after the procedure. A final telephone follow-up call will occur on Day 30 (± 2 days) in subjects who have the follow-up visit before Day 28.
Safety assessments will include monitoring of AEs during and post the procedure, clinical laboratory tests, 12-Lead ECG, and vital sign measurements.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Paired sample difference (Bludigo - Saline) in urine jet conspicuity score. | Visualization will be measured by a conspicuity scale designed to provide an objective tool applicable to the visualization of the urinary flow from the ureteral orifices when determining ureter patency. The conspicuity of the urine flow from the ureteral orifices is defined using the 5-point conspicuity score as follows:
Paired sample difference (Bludigo™-Saline) in conspicuity score (PSDCS). PSDCS will be calculated for each ureter (left or right) for each subject from each reviewer. | 10 to 15 minutes post study drug administration |
| Responders to Bludigo | Visualization will be measured by a conspicuity scale designed to provide an objective tool applicable to the visualization of the urinary flow from the ureteral orifices when determining ureter patency. The conspicuity of the urine flow from the ureteral orifices is defined using the 5-point conspicuity score as follows:
A subject is considered a responder to Bludigo™ if there is >=1 point improvement in the conspicuity score following the Bludigo™- treatment vs the saline treatment and the conspicuity score for the Bludigo™ treatment must be (3, 4, or 5). The responder criteria will be assessed separately for each ureter (left or right) from each reviewer. | 10 to 15 minutes post study drug administration |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of adverse events and serious adverse events. | Percentage of patients in each treatment group who experience an adverse event post treatment | 30 days post study drug administration |

| Difference between the Bludigo™ high dose vs Bludigo™ low dose in urine jet conspicuity score | An exploratory comparison will be performed to assess the difference between the Bludigo™ high dose vs Bludigo™ low dose in urine jet conspicuity score. The conspicuity of the urine flow from the ureteral orifices is defined using the 5-point conspicuity score as follows:

Inclusion Criteria:
Subject's renal function will be defined based on the following criteria:
Subjects with normal renal function that are judged to be in good health based on medical history, physical examination, vital signs, and laboratory safety tests performed at the Screening Visit and/or prior to administration of study drug.
Patients with renal impairment (mild, moderate, or severe) who have a diagnosis of chronic (>6 months), stable (no acute episodes of illness within the previous 2 months due to deterioration in renal function) renal insufficiency meeting criteria at the Screening Visit
Exclusion Criteria:
