Condition(s) targeted: Healthy

Intervention: Dabigatran high dose (Drug); Dabigatran low dose (Drug)

Phase: Phase 1

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Boehringer Ingelheim

Summary

To investigate and compare pharmacokinetics, safety and pharmacodynamics of dabigatran etexilate following oral administration of multiple doses (110 mg and 150 mg b. i.d., 7 days) in healthy male subjects between Japanese and Caucasians

Clinical Details

Official title: Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Pharmacodynamics After Multiple Oral Doses of Dabigatran Etexilate Capsule (110 mg and 150 mg b.i.d., 7 Days) in Healthy Japanese and Caucasian Male Subjects (Open Label Study)

Study design: Allocation: Non-Randomized, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome:

Occurrence of adverse events

Changes in QT(c) intervals

Cmax,ss (maximum measured concentration of the analyte in plasma at steady state)

AUCτ,ss (area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma at steady state over a uniform dosing interval τ)

Secondary outcome:

Cmax (maximum measured concentration)

tmax (time from dosing to maximum measured concentration)

AUCτ,1 (area under the concentration-time curve over a uniform dosing interval τ after administration of single dose on Day 1)

tmax,ss (time from last dosing to maximum concentration at steady state)

Cmin,ss (minimum concentration at steady state over a uniform dosing interval τ)

λz,ss (terminal rate constant at steady state)

t1/2,ss (terminal half-life at steady state)

MRTpo,ss (mean residence time in the body at steady state after oral administration)

CL/F,ss (apparent clearance in the plasma at steady state after extravascular multiple dose administration)

Vz/F,ss (apparent volume of distribution during the terminal phase λz at steady state following extravascular administration)

RA,Cmax,13 (accumulation ratio calculated as Cmax,ss/Cmax)

RA,AUC,13 (accumulation ratio calculated as AUCτ,ss/AUCτ,1)
