  • Provides written Informed Consent and is willing to comply with protocol requirements.

Exclusion Criteria: Exclude a subject from this study if the subject does not fulfill the inclusion criteria, or if any of the following conditions are observed:

  • Is a pregnant or lactating female. Exclude the possibility of pregnancy:

  • Has history of concurrent malignancy;
  • Has history of any clinically unstable cardiac condition including class III/IV congestive heart failure;
  • Has had any severe cardiac rhythm disorders within 7 days prior to enrolment;
  • Has severe pulmonary hypertension (pulmonary artery pressure >90mmHg) or uncontrolled systemic hypertension and/or respiratory distress syndrome;
  • Has open and/or non-healing wounds in the chest, abdomen and pelvis;
  • Has other systemic vascular abnormalities associated with neovascularization that in the opinion of the investigator could significantly affect the ability to evaluate the effects of BR55;
  • Is participating in a clinical trial or has participated in another trial with an investigational compound within the past 30 days prior to enrolment;
  • Has previously been enrolled in and completed this study;
  • Has any known allergy to one or more of the ingredients of the Investigational Product or to any other contrast media;
