Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To determine if apixaban and rivaroxaban are excreted in breastmilk following single dose oral administration to breastfeeding mothers. ;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the concentration-time profiles of apixaban and rivaroxaban in the plasma and breastmilk of breastfeeding mothers, and therefore to establish the potential exposure of breastfed infants to apixaban and rivaroxaban;Primary end point(s): Apixaban and its metabolites in plasma and breast milk will be measured at 0, 3-4, 7, 12, 14, 16, 24 hours after swallowing two 5mg capsules of apixaban (1 capsule 12 hours apart). Rivaroxaban in plasma and breast milk will be measured at 0, 2-3, 6, 10, 12, 24 hours after swallowing one 20mg tablet of rivaroxaban. Milk sampling from both breasts will be done at each time point. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Apixaban and its metabolites in plasma and breast milk will be measured at 0, 3-4, 7, 12, 14, 16, 24 hours after swallowing two 5mg capsules of apixaban (1 capsule 12 hours apart). Rivaroxaban in plasma and breast milk will be measured at 0, 2-3, 6, 10, 12, 24 hours after swallowing one 20mg tablet of rivaroxaban. Milk sampling from both breasts will be done at each time point.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The following PK parameters for apixaban and rivaroxaban in milk and plasma will be the endpoints: Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) from zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration (AUC(0-t)); AUC from zero to the time of 24 hours (AUC(0-24)).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 0 to 24 hours
