A Study to Investigate the Effect of YM150 on the Plasma Concentration of Digoxin in Healthy Subjects

A Double Blind, Randomized, Two Period Crossover Study To Determine The Effect of Multiple Doses of 120 MG Modified Release Formulation of YM150 on the Steady State Pharmacokinetics of Digoxin in Healthy Subjects

This study is to evaluate the effect of YM150 on the plasma concentration of digoxin in healthy subjects.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Healthy; Pharmacokinetic of Digoxin
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: placebo; Drug: digoxin; Drug: YM150

Detailed Description

The study will be of a double blind, randomized, two period crossover design. Two treatments, digoxin in combination with YM150, and digoxin in combination with placebo, will be evaluated. Each subject will receive both treatments in random order. Placebo will be used to maintain the blind. Males and females will be equally divided over the treatment orders.

Subjects will be dosed with digoxin and either YM150 or placebo for 8 days to reach steady state. In the second period the subjects will receive digoxin and the alternate treatment. There will be a washout period of at least 10 days between the consecutive treatments. In both study periods the subjects will be admitted the day prior to study drug administration (Day 0). The subjects will be discharged on Day 10. Approximately one week after the last discharge, the subjects will return to the unit for a post study visit.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Time Frame
Cmax of digoxin assessed by its plasma concentration change	for 24 hour after the last dose of each period
AUC of digoxin assessed by its plasma concentration change	for 24 hour after the last dose of each period

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Time Frame
Changes in the blood coaggregation indexes such as PT(INR), aPTT and FXa	before dosing and 5hr after dosing on days 4 and 8 and 24h and 48h after the last dose
Safety assessed by the incidence of adverse events, vital signs, 12-lead ECG and labo-tests	for 10 days after dosing
