No gastrointestinal (GI) disease, No risk factors for bleeding, Direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC), Fecal occult blood testing (FOBT)

Brief summary

The primary objective of the study is to determine whether aspirin alone or aspirin combined with various doses of rivaroxaban causes subclinical GI blood loss as determined by the HemoQuant assay. The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of aspirin alone or in combination with rivaroxaban to healthy volunteers.

PT and aPTT values above the upper limit of normal as defined by the local laboratory during screening; the lab may be repeated once if initially abnormal 7. Platelet count below the lower limit of normal as defined by the local laboratory during screening; the lab may be repeated once if initially abnormal 8. History of clinically significant respiratory, hepatic, renal, GI, endocrine, hematological, psychiatric or neurological disease, as assessed by the investigator that may confound the results of the study or poses an additional risk to the participant by study participation.
