Study to compare the effect of the formulations (orally disintegrating tablet and film-coated tablet) on the bioequivalence of drug Rivaroxaban (Xarelto) at dose of 15 mg in Japanese healthy male adult subjects

Trial purpose

Researchers in this study wanted to compare the effect of the formulation (orally disintegrating tablet and film-coated tablet) on the bioequivalence of drug Rivaroxaban (brand name: Xarelto) at dose of 15 mg in Japanese healthy male subjects aged 20 to 40 years. Rivaroxaban is an approved drug to be used for the prevention of events/diseases caused by blood clots. Currently, there are two formulations of Rivaroxaban available on the market in Japan and they are film-coated tablets and fine granules. To further improve patients’ convenience, a new formulation, orally disintegrating tablet (ODT, a drug dosage form designed to be dissolved on the tongue rather than swallowed whole) is under development. The goal of this study was to compare the effect of this new formulation with film-coated tablets when taken with or without water.
Participants in this study received one oral dose of rivaroxaban 15 mg ODT either with or without water and one oral dose of rivaroxaban 15 mg film-tablet. There were at least 5 days between the two doses. Observation for each participant lasted about 6 weeks in total. Blood samples were collected from the participants to measure the blood level of the study drug.

  • - Japanese healthy male subjects, aged 20 to 40 years (inclusive), with body mass index 17.6 to 26.4 kg/m²

    - Subject with systolic blood pressure below 90 or above 130 mmHg

    - Subject with diastolic blood pressure below 45 or above 85 mmHg

    - Subject with clinically relevant deviations of the screened laboratory parameters from reference ranges
