Investigation of the Impact of Concomitant Use of Multiple Doses of Clopidogrel With Multiple Doses of Dabigatran Etexilate on the Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Parameters in Healthy Male Subjects

The primary objective of the study (Main Part 2) was to investigate whether and to which extent a combination of multiple oral doses (steady state conditions) of 75 mg of clopidogrel q.d. (after a loading dose of 300 mg) and multiple doses of 150 mg of dabigatran etexilate b.i.d. at steady state affects pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters of dabigatran etexilate and clopidogrel. The objective of the preceding Pilot Part 1 of the study was to explore the effect of a single dose of 300 mg clopidogrel administered after multiple doses of 75 mg and 150 mg dabigatran had reached steady state, regarding safety as well as pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters. The Main Part 3 of the study moreover was to compare intra-individually the effects of a single dose of 600 mg clopidogrel with the same dose, 600 mg clopidogrel, given additionally to multiple doses of 150 mg dabigatran in steady state condition with respect to safety and pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters.
