About this study

Rivaroxaban (RXA; brand name Xarelto®) is an oral direct factor Xa inhibitor that is applied for prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism after major orthopedic surgery. Additionally, RXA is approved by Swissmedic to be used at a therapeutic dose for primary therapy of VTE and for prophylaxis of cerebrovascular events in non-valvular atrial fibrillation.

This is an explorative laboratory study to evaluate the intra-individual variability of RXA conc. in time and to standardize assays among 9 Swiss laboratories to determine RXA conc.

Read the detailed description

Rivaroxaban (RXA; brand name Xarelto®) is an oral direct factor Xa inhibitor that is applied for prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after major orthopedic surgery of the lower limbs such as hip and knee replacement surgery. Additionally, RXA is approved by Swissmedic to be used at a therapeutic dose for primary therapy of VTE and for prophylaxis of cerebrovascular events in non-valvular atrial fibrillation.

Monitoring of RXA concentration (conc.) is generally not required because of its stable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile, even in patients with renal insufficiency. However, there are several clinical situations, in which it may be desirable to measure the RXA plasma conc. The range of RXA conc. is wide among individuals with typical peak levels of median 244 µg/L (IQR 175-360) and trough levels of median 32 µg/L (IQR 19-60) with once daily doses of 20 mg RXA.

This is an explorative laboratory study to evaluate the intra-individual variability of RXA conc. in time and to standardize assays among 9 Swiss laboratories to determine RXA conc.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Healthy, run by Prof. Dr. Dr. med. Walter A. Wuillemin, MD, PhD at 1 site in Switzerland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluation of the effect of RXA on trough and peak RXA conc. values in time (time frame: 14 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01710267, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Apr 2015.
