Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 60 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Volunteers must agree to provide a blood sample for pharmacogenomic testing and must have less than 3 of the variant CYP2C9 and VKORC1 gene alleles associated with increased warfarin sensitivity if their genetic status regarding these alleles is not previously known
  • Have coagulation test results (INR, PT, and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) within clinically acceptable limits, blood pressure (after the volunteer is supine for 5 minutes) between 90 and 140 mmHg systolic, inclusive, and between 50 and 90 mmHg diastolic
  • Have a body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 30 kg/m2 (inclusive), and body weight of not less than 50 kg
  • Be a Non-smoker (Volunteers may not use nicotine-containing products within 3 months prior to study drug administration

Who cannot join

  • Have a history or current clinically significant medical illness, including (but not limited to) of intracranial tumor or aneurysm
  • Have history of gastrointestinal disease (e.g., Crohn's disease) which could result in impaired absorption of the study drugs or history of clinically significant hemoptysis, excessive bruising, bleeding from nose or gums or known disorders with increased bleeding risk (e.g., acute gastritis, acute peptic ulcer) or history of any bleeding diathesis. Concomitant use (also within the last 2 weeks before start of the study) of drugs that influenced the coagulation system, e.g., antiplatelet drugs (e.g., acetylsalicylic acid, ticlopidine and clopidogrel
  • abciximab, tirofiban and integrelin) or other anticoagulants (antithrombins, unfractionated heparins, low molecular weight heparins and hirudin, coumadin-type anticoagulants phenprocoumon, warfarin, dabigatran, probenecide)
  • Use of medications known to affect the metabolic pathways (CYP3A4, or P-gp) within 14 days of study admission

About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Non-Randomized, Sequential Two-Treatment Period Study to Explore the Pharmacodynamic Changes When Transitioning From Rivaroxaban to Warfarin

The purpose of this study is to explore the pharmacodynamic (what the drug does to the body) changes when transitioning from rivaroxaban 20 mg once daily to warfarin dosed to a therapeutic level as measured by the International Normalized Ratio (INR) range of 2.0 to 3.0 in healthy volunteers. In addition, the pharmacokinetics (what the body does to the drug), safety and tolerability of rivaroxaban during the transition to warfarin will be investigated. The INR is obtained from a blood test, and is a measure for the clotting tendency of the blood used for safe and adequate dosing of warfarin.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, open-label (study staff and healthy volunteers will know the identity of treatment assigned), sequential 2-treatment period study in healthy adult volunteers to explore the pharmacodynamic changes (changes drugs have on the body), specifically in regard to blood coagulation (blood clotting) when healthy volunteers take oral (by mouth) rivaroxaban followed by warfarin. Treatment Period 1: Rivaroxaban 20 mg/day for 5 days then Rivaoxaban 20 mg/day + Warfarin 10 mg/day for 2-4 days then warfarin 0-15 mg/day for 4 days. Treatment Period 2: Warfarin 10 mg/day for 2-4 days, then 0-15 mg/day for 4 days. Treatment periods 1 and 2 will be separated by a washout period of at least 14 days. In Treatment Periods 1 and 2, the dose of warfarin may be adjusted as specified by the protocol and the last dose of warfarin in each Treatment period will be followed by a single dose of Vitamin K. The approximate total study length for healthy adult volunteers enrolled is approximately 72 days (includes a 28-day Screening Period, a 30-day Open-label Treatment Phase, which includes the 7 days for a follow-up visit, and at least a 14-day washout between treatment periods).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Rivaroxaban, Warfarin and Vitamin K in people with Healthy, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 1 site in Belgium.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 24 Jan 2017. 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 Belgium. 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?

Prothrombin time (PT) (time frame: From Day 1 up to Day 9). The study lists 2 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 NCT01400646, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 24 Jan 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 29 Oct 2026.
