Hemin in Healthy Subjects
Completed · Phase 1 · Has a placebo group
Conditions studied: Healthy Volunteers
In brief
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.
