Patient case: 63-year-old female with aortic aneurysm; genetic feature: ACTA2

Clinical trial: Study to Investigate the Pharmacokinetics (PK) and Pharmacodynamics (PD) of Idarucizumab in Chinese Healthy Male and Female Volunteers Who Had Taken Dabigatran Etexilate and Whose Plasma Concentrations of Dabigatran Were at or Close to Steady State

Summary: 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.

  -  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

  -  Drug abuse or positive drug screening
  -  Blood donation (400 mL whole blood donation within 12 weeks, 200 mL whole blood donation or blood component donation within 4 weeks) prior to first trial drug administration

  -  Any laboratory values outside the reference range that are of clinical relevance according to investigator's clinical judgement
  -  Inability to comply with dietary regimen of trial site
  -  A marked baseline prolongation of QT/QTc interval (e.g., repeated demonstration of a QTcF interval >450 ms)
  -  A history of additional risk factors for torsades de points (TdP) (e.g., heart failure, hypokalemia, family history of Long QT Syndrome)
  -  Positive HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) test result at screening examination
  -  Positive testing for Hepatitis B Antigen and/or a positive Hepatitis C antibody test result at screening examination
  -  Subjects considered unsuitable for inclusion by the investigator, e.g. are unable to understand and comply with trial requirements, or have any condition which in the opinion of the investigator would not allow safe participation in the trial.
  -  Subjects who do not agree to minimize the risk of female partners becoming pregnant from the first dosing day until 12 weeks after the trial completion. Acceptable methods of contraception comprises barrier contraception and a medically accepted contraceptive method for the female (intra-uterine device with spermicide. hormonal contraceptive since at least 8 weeks)

  -  Abnormal values for prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and thrombocytes considered by the investigator or one of the co-investigators to be clinically relevant
