Trial summary

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat venous thromboembolic disease, also known as VTE. In people with VTE, blood clots form in the veins of the legs, groin, or arms. These clots or a piece of a clot can break free and move around the body in the blood vessels. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Single-dose, Open-label, Randomized, 2-way Crossover Bioequivalence Study of 20 mg Granules for Oral Suspension Rivaroxaban Versus 20 mg Tablets Rivaroxaban Under Fed Condition in Healthy Subjects

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat venous thromboembolic disease, also known as VTE. In people with VTE, blood clots form in the veins of the legs, groin, or arms. These clots or a piece of a clot can break free and move around the body in the blood vessels. These clots can block small blood vessels, causing other conditions like high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke.

Before people with a medical condition can take an approved treatment in a new form, researchers do trials in healthy participants. This helps them understand how the new form acts in the body and to better understand its safety.

In this trial, the researchers will compare how much of the trial treatment gets into the blood when taken in 2 different forms in a small number of participants. The trial will include about 30 men who are aged 18 to 55.

In this trial, there will be 2 groups of participants. The participants will take rivaroxaban in the current tablet form and in a new liquid form 1 time. This was a "crossover" trial. In a crossover trial, all the participants will take both forms of the treatments, but in a different order.

During the trial, the participants will stay at their trial site 2 times for 5 days. But, the participants can be in the trial for up to about 6 weeks. During the trial, the doctors will take blood and urine samples and check the participants' heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG) and measure the blood pressure. The participants will also answer questions about how they are feeling, if they have any medical problems, and about any medications they are taking.

Being tested
20 mg tablet rivaroxaban, 20 mg rivaroxaban, granules for oral suspension

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. AUC of rivaroxaban granules for oral suspension vs. rivaroxaban tablet

    AUC = area under the concentration vs. time curve from zero to infinity after single (first) dose

    Rivaroxaban Blood sampling for rivaroxaban pharmacokinetics in plasma.

    Measured: From pre-dose up to 72 hours after drug administration

  2. AUC(0-tlast) of rivaroxaban granules for oral suspension vs. rivaroxaban tablet

    AUC(0-tlast) = AUC from time 0 to the last data point > lower limit of quantification (LLOQ)

    Rivaroxaban Blood sampling for rivaroxaban pharmacokinetics in plasma.

    Measured: From pre-dose up to 72 hours after drug administration

  3. Cmax of rivaroxaban granules for oral suspension vs. rivaroxaban tablet

    Cmax = maximum observed drug concentration in measured matrix after single dose administration

    Rivaroxaban Blood sampling for rivaroxaban pharmacokinetics in plasma.

    Measured: From pre-dose up to 72 hours after drug administration.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of treatment-emergent adverse events

    Adverse events occurring in the period between the signing of the informed consent and the end of the follow-up phase.

    Measured: Up to 7-14 days after the last administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing 20 mg tablet rivaroxaban and 20 mg rivaroxaban, granules for oral suspension in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Bayer at 1 site in Germany.

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 5 inclusion and 13 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 27 Jan 2021. 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 Germany. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

AUC of rivaroxaban granules for oral suspension vs. rivaroxaban tablet (time frame: From pre-dose up to 72 hours after drug administration). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 27 Jan 2021.
