Conditions

Rivaroxaban disposition in healthy human volunteers (obese vs non-obese population) Not Applicable

Interventions

A single dose of rivaroxaban (20 mg film-coated tablet) is given orally to the healthy participants in both groups (obese participants with BMI =35 kg/m² or weight more than 120 kg
the control group who are normal weight participants with BMI 18.5 to ?25 kg/m²) under fed conditions. Nine blood samples are taken from all participants at the following timepoints: 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12
study duration is 48 h. Analysis for all samples is carried out using ultra-performance liquid chromatography to obtain rivaroxaban concentrations (and other pharmacokinetic parameters) in these sampl

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Rivaroxaban concentration in blood samples is measured using ultra-performance liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometer (UPLC MS/MS) at baseline, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 18, 36 and 48 hours 2. Rivaroxaban concentration in urine samples is measured using ultra-performance liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometer (UPLC MS/MS) at (-2 to 0), (0 to 3), (3 to 6), (6 to 9), (9 to 12), (12 to 15), (15 to 18), at 36, and at 48 hours 3. Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC), time for maximum concentration (Tmax), volume of distribution (Vd), clearance (Cl), and half-life (t1/2) are obtained using WinNonlin software (pharmacokinetic software) at baseline, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 18, 36 and 48 hours

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Prothrombin time (PT) is measured using the standard quantitative method used in the medical laboratories at 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 18, 36, and 48 hours 2. Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) is measured using the standard quantitative method used in the medical care laboratories at 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 18, 36, and 48 hours
