Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this Phase I trial is to demonstrate the bioequivalence of two capsules of dabigatran etexilate made from two different drug product batches.

The reference batch is dabigatran etexilate hard capsules 150 mg using the currently approved capsule shell (Qualicaps). The test batch is dabigatran etexilate 150 mg hard capsules using a new capsule shell (Capsugel). The test batch is the drug product intended for future commercial use.

2. Clinically relevant surgery of gastrointestinal tract or evidence of significant gastrointestinal motility problems that could affect absorption of the drug
3. Diseases of the central nervous system (included but not limited to any kind of seizures, stroke or psychiatric disorders) within the past 6 month
4. Any history or evidence of blood dyscrasia, hemorrhagic diathesis, severe thrombocytopenia, cerebrovascular hemorrhage, bleeding tendencies associated with active ulceration or overt bleeding of gastrointestinal, respiratory or genitourinary tract or any disease or condition with hemorrhagic tendencies
5. History of relevant orthostatic hypotension, fainting spells or blackouts
6. Chronic or relevant acute infections
7. History of allergy/hypersensitivity (including drug allergy in particular to study drug or its excipients) which is deemed relevant to the trial as judged by the investigator
