Impact of Steady State Cobicistat and Darunavir/Cobicistat on the Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamic of Oral Anticoagulants (Rivaroxaban, Apixaban) in Health Volunteers

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2022-12-31

Summary

Background:

Rivaroxaban and apixaban are blood thinners. People with HIV may need to take them to treat or prevent blood clots. The anti-HIV drug darunavir (DRV) can increase the amount of these blood thinners in the body. This can cause bleeding or other health problems. The drug cobicistat (COBI) is used to help anti-HIV drugs work better. Researchers want to give healthy people DRV combined with COBI to learn how it affects rivaroxaban or apixaban blood levels.

Objective:

To test blood levels of rivaroxaban or apixaban when taken with COBI and DRV/COBI.

Eligibility:

Healthy volunteers ages 18-65

Design:

Participants will be screened with:

Medical history

Physical exam

Fasting blood and urine tests. (Urine tests will be performed in females of child-bearing potential only)

Participants will have 8 visits; 3 are long (about 10-12 hours) and 5 are about 1 hour. They include:

Baseline and final visits:

Fasting blood and urine tests

Day 1 visit (long day):

Fasting blood and urine tests

Catheter placement: A needle will insert a small tube into the participant s arm vein. Blood will be drawn up to 10 times.

Dose of rivaroxaban or apixaban

Day 2 visit (short day):Fasting blood tests

Dose of COBI

Participants will receive a bottle containing COBI tablets to take at home.

Day 7 (long day):

Fasting blood and urine tests

Catheter placement: A needle will insert a small tube into the participant s arm vein. Blood will be drawn up to 10 times.

Dose of rivaroxaban or apixaban

Dose of COBI

Day 8 (short day):

Fasting blood tests

Dose of DRV/COBI

Participants will receive a bottle containing DRV/COBI tablets to take at home.

Day 13 (long day):

Fasting blood and urine tests

Catheter placement: A needle will insert a small tube into the participant s arm vein. Blood will be drawn up to 10 times.

Dose of rivaroxaban or apixaban

Dose of DRV/COBI

Day 14 (short day):

Fasting blood tests

Participants will take COBI tablets daily at home on days 3-6, and DRV/COBI on days 9 -12 during the study. They will record doses and side effects.

During the study, participants cannot:

Take most medications.

Drink alcohol, smoke, or vape

Engage in activities such as contact and extreme sports Phase: Phase 1
