Details and patient eligibility

About

The primary objective of the trial is to investigate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of idarucizumab in Chinese healthy male and female subjects following intravenous administration of idarucizumab followed by idarucizumab with 15 minutes interval when administered at or close to the steady state of dabigatran.

Another objective of this trial is to explore the effect idarucizumab on the PK (pharmacokinetic(s)) and PD (pharmacodynamic) parameters of dabigatran.

Inclusion criteria

Age >= 18 and Age <= 45 years at screening
Healthy male and female based upon a complete medical history, including vital signs (Blood Pressure, Pulse Rate, and Body Temperature), 12-lead Electrocardiogram and clinical laboratory tests. Women of childbearing potential must be ready and able to use highly effective methods of birth control per International Committee on Harmonisation M3 (R2) that result in a low failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly. A list of contraception methods meeting these criteria is provided in the patient information.
Body weight >=50 kg with body mass index range >=19.0 and <24.0 kg/m2 at Visit 1.
Signed and dated written informed consent in accordance with Good Clinical Practice and local legislation prior to admission to the trial.

Exclusion criteria

Any finding of the medical examination (including Blood Pressure, Pulse Rate, Body Temperature and Electrocardiogram) is deviating from normal and judged as clinically relevant by the investigator
Any evidence of a clinically relevant concomitant disease according to investigator's clinical judgement
Gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic, immunological or hormonal disorders

Within 10 days prior to administration of trial medication, use of drugs that might reasonably influence the results of the trial or that might prolong the QT/corrected QT (QTc) interval.
Participation in another trial with investigational drug administration within 60 days prior to first trial drug administration
Smoker (> 10 cigarettes or > 3 cigars or > 3 pipes/day)
Inability to refrain from smoking during hospitalization
