Pharmacokinetics of Rivaroxaban After Bariatric Surgery

Registration Number
NCT04180436
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Brest
Brief Summary

Data on pharmacokinetics of rivaroxaban after bariatric surgery and in morbid obesity are sparse. The aim of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters of rivaroxaban, used at a therapeutic anticoagulant dose, in patients with previous bariatric surgery, with sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass, and in morbid obese subjects.

Four groups of 16 subjects per group are studied: Morbid obese subjects / Subjects who have undergone gastric bypass surgery / Subjects who have undergone sleeve gastrectomy surgery / Non-operated control subjects matched for age and BMI with operated subjects.

All patients (obese, surgical patients, and controls) will receive rivaroxaban 20mg once daily during 8 days. Blood samples will be taken predose (Baseline) and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 24h post rivaroxaban administration at day1 and day8. PK and PD parameters will be compared between groups in order to explore the impact of bariatric surgery, type of surgery and body mass index on the pharmacological profile of rivaroxaban.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Cmax of rivaroxabanup to 8 days

Cmax of rivaroxaban was assessed

AUC of rivaroxabanup to 8 days

Rivaroxaban plasma concentrations was assessed by the reference method at the different sampling points to determine the area under the curve (AUC)

Tmax of rivaroxabanup to 8 days

Tmax of rivaroxaban was assessed

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Activated partial thromboplatin time (aPTT)up to 8 days

Activated partial thromboplatin time was assessed

Fibrinogen levelsup to 8 days

Fibrinogen levels was was assessed

Other adverse eventsup to 15 days

Number of other adverse events than bleedings was assessed

Prothrombin timeup to 8 days

Prothrombin time of rivaroxaban was assessed

Rivaroxaban anti-Xa activityup to 8 days

Rivaroxaban anti-Xa activity was assessed

Rate of bleedingsup to 15 days

Treatment-Related Adverse Events were assessed

Thrombin generation test of rivaroxabanup to 8 days

Thrombogram (thrombin generation test) data for each time analyzed allows measurement of thrombin generation potential (FTE). These data will be used to model the PD of rivaroxaban and to estimate the PD variability.
