Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1.Paediatric patients aged =65 years) no F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. History of transient ischaemic attack or cerebrovascular event/accident (ischaemic or haemorrhagic), severe head trauma, intracranial haemorrhage, intracranial neoplasm, arteriovenous malformation, aneurysm, or proliferative retinopathy. 2. Significantly underdeveloped with regards to height, weight or head circumference for age, as judged by the Investigator. 3. Severe developmental delay (eg, cerebral palsy or mental retardation). 4. Receiving chronic treatment (>3 days/week) with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). 5. Receiving chronic treatment with anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs that cannot be discontinued. 6. Moderate or severe hepatic impairment, defined as laboratory values of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >2 × upper limit of normal (ULN), total bilirubin >2 × ULN (unless judged by the Investigator to be caused by haemolysis), albumin 1.4, or symptoms of liver disease (eg, ascites). 7. Renal failure requiring dialysis. 8. Active pathological bleeding or increased risk of bleeding complications according to the Investigator. 9. Haemoglobin <6 g/dL from test performed at Screening (Visit 1). 10. Platelets <100 × 10E9/L from test performed at Screening (Visit 1). 11. Patient considered to be at risk of bradycardic events (eg, known sick sinus syndrome or second or third degree atrioventricular block). 12. Concomitant oral or intravenous therapy with moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, CYP3A4 substrates with narrow therapeutic indices, or strong CYP3A4 inducers, that have not been stopped at least 5 half-lives before dose administration. 13. Patient breastfed by mother who is under treatment of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, as defined in Appendix E of the protocol. 14. Active untreated malaria. Patients with suspected malaria at Screening (Visit 1) will be tested. 15. Surgical procedure planned to occur during the study including 5 days after ticagrelor administration. 16. Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to ticagrelor. 17. Concern for the inability of the patient or parents to comply with study procedures and/or follow-up. 18. Any condition which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would make it unsafe or unsuitable for the patient to participate in this study. 19. Previously administered ticagrelor in the present study. 20. Participation in another clinical study with an investigational medicinal product (IMP) or device during the last 30 days preceding screening/enrolment. 21. Involvement of member of patient’s family in planning and/or conduct of the study (applies to both AstraZeneca personnel and personnel at study centre).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To determine the PK properties of ticagrelor after a single oral dose; Secondary Objective: - To determine the PK properties of the active metabolite (AR-C124910XX) after a single oral dose - To assess the acceptability and the palatability of a single oral dose of ticagrelor - To assess safety and tolerability of a single oral dose of ticagrelor ;Primary end point(s): Observed ticagrelor plasma concentrations as well as PK parameters obtained using a population PK analysis approach, eg, CL/F (oral clearance), Cmax, and AUC;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours postdose

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): a- Observed plasma concentrations of the active metabolite (AR-C124910XX) as well as PK parameters obtained using a population PK analysis approach, eg, Cmax, and AUC b- Observer assessment of acceptability and palatability ; Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: a - 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours postdose b - during administration of dose
