Study summary

The study objective is to investigate the pharmacodynamics (effects of a drug product) when switching the treatment from warfarin to rivaroxaban.

84 young, healthy subjects will participate; they will be treated following a randomized, parallel-group (Treatments A, B, and C), placebo-controlled (Treatment B), and single-blind (Treatments A and B) design.

The first two groups (A, B) will receive warfarin for approximately one week to adjust their blood coagulation values to a specific level, i.e. to maintain an INR (international normalized ratio) of 2.0 - 3.0. This range is commonly used for long-term anticoagulant treatment.

The first group (A) will receive rivaroxaban for four days, the second group (B) will take placebo. On the last day, all subjects in groups A and B will receive vitamin K to neutralize the effects of warfarin. The third group (C) will not undergo prior treatment with warfarin but will receive rivaroxaban for four days.

Outcome measures

PrimaryEmax (Maximum Effect) on Prothrombin Time (PT) (Coagulation Test)

Prothrombin time (PT) is a global clotting test assessing the extrinsic pathway of the blood coagulation cascade. The test is sensitive for deficiencies of Factors II, V, VII, and X, with sensitivity being best for Factors V, VII, and X and less pronounced for Factor II. The initial read-out is in seconds. Higher values than the baseline indicate anticoagulant effects. Emax on PT was measured as the ratio of maximum PT (measured in seconds) divided by PT (measured in seconds) at baseline.

SecondaryAUC(0-tn) (Area Under the Measurement Versus Time Curve From Time 0 to the Last Data Point) of ETP (Endogenous Thrombin Potential) Peak Time

ETP peak time assesses the overall function of the clotting cascade. The peak time assesses the time required to reach the maximal thrombin generation. Increasing values compared to baseline indicate an anticoagulant effect. AUC(0-tn) of ETP peak time was the area under the measurement (ETP peak time \[measured in minutes as time to reach the maximum coagulation activity\] at different time-points divided by ETP peak time \[measured in minutes as time to reach the maximum coagulation activity\] at baseline) versus time curve from time 0 to the last data point.
