About this study

Official title: A Study Evaluating the Pharmacokinetics of Dabigatran Etexilate in Adult Healthy Subjects, Elderly Healthy Subjects, and Elderly Patients With Atrial Fibrillation

This study intends to collect blood samples of adult healthy subjects, elderly healthy subjects and elderly patients with atrial fibrillation after taking dabigatran etexilate for pharmacokinetics and other studies, aiming to reveal the effect of dabigatran etexilate in Chinese elderly population. Pharmacokinetic profile and biomarker concentration levels; fecal samples were collected for gut microbiota studies to further explore potential mechanisms. The results of the study may provide reference for the precision medicine of dabigatran etexilate and other drugs in the elderly population or the development of new clinical drugs.

Read the detailed description

This study is a single-center, open-label clinical study, with adult healthy subjects, elderly healthy subjects and elderly patients with atrial fibrillation as the research subjects. Adult healthy subjects and elderly healthy subjects only take one 110 mg dabigatran etexilate capsule (low-dose specification in the instruction manual) orally. Elderly patients with atrial fibrillation take dabigatran etexilate according to routine medical treatment. Blood samples at 0 h(before dosing), 2 h, 6 h, 10 h and 24 h after dosing, and additional stool samples were collected.

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Dongyang Liu ((86)010-82266658, liudongyang@vip.sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Concentration in plasma of dabigatran on the first day before administration (time frame: on the first 1 day before 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05715658, which also lists 3 linked publications.
