Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Brief Summary   This Phase 2a double-blind, multi-center, randomized, controlled study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of ifetroban administered as daily IV doses in recently diagnosed HRS patients. Patients will be stratified based upon Type 1 or Type 2 HRS diagnosis. Cohorts of eight HRS patients (per HRS type) will be assigned sequentially to escalating daily dose levels of ifetroban or vehicle (3:1) for assessment of pharmacokinetics. Escalation to the next dose level will be contingent upon the safety and tolerability of the preceding dose level as determined by a DSMB. If all regimens are studied, a total of 64 patients will be enrolled.
