PK of Rivaroxaban in Bariatric Patients - Extension

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Prophylaxis of Venous Thromboembolism
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02832947
Lead Sponsor
Insel Gruppe AG, University Hospital Bern
Brief Summary

Aim of this clinical Trial is the assessment of rivaroxaban PK/PD parameters in patients 6-8 months after bariatric surgery

Detailed Description

Weight loss after bariatric surgery can putatively alter drug disposition of rivaroxaban. This may be due to an altered intestinal adaptations several months after the surgical procedure. The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters after single application of 10 mg rivaroxaban in patients with prior bariatric intervention (Roux-en-y-gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy 6-8 months ago). PK/PD parameters will be assessed during 12 hours after application of rivaroxaban.
