Participants by arm

ArmCount
Part 1
In part 1, 110 mg dabigatran etexilate were dosed twice daily to steady state and a dabigatran PK profile was taken on day 3 (reference). On the day after the reference treatment, ticagrelor treatment was added starting with the concomitant administration of a 180 mg ticagrelor loading dose followed by 90 mg ticagrelor twice daily. Dabigatran PK profiles were taken on day 1 of the test treatment and day 4 of the test treatment.

Part 2
In part 2, 110 mg dabigatran etexilate were dosed twice daily to steady state and a dabigatran PK profile was taken on day 3 (reference). On the day after the reference treatment, 180 mg ticagrelor were given 2 hours after the morning dose of 110 mg dabigatran etexilate and dabigatran PK profile were taken on this day 1 of the test treatment.

Total Dabigatran: Area Under the Concentration-time Curve at Steady State Over the Uniform Dosing Interval τ (AUCτ,ss)

Area under the concentration-time curve of dabigatran etexilate in plasma at steady state over the uniform dosing interval τ (AUCτ,ss).

Time frame: 47.55, 48.30,49, 49.30,50,50.30,51,52,54,56, 60 hours

Population: Pharmacokinetic set: This subject set included all subjects in the TS who provided at least 1 observation for at least 1 PK endpoint without important protocol violations relevant to the evaluation of bioavailability and who had not vomiting at or before 2 times the median tmax,ss of the trial medications on PK study days of both trial parts.
