Brief Summary

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

This study intends to collect blood samples of adult healthy subjects, elderly healthy subjects and elderly patients with atrial fibrillation after taking dabigatran etexilate for pharmacokinetics and other studies, aiming to reveal the effect of dabigatran etexilate in Chinese elderly population. Pharmacokinetic profile and biomarker concentration levels; fecal samples were collected for gut microbiota studies to further explore potential mechanisms. The results of the study may provide reference for the precision medicine of dabigatran etexilate and other drugs in the elderly population or the development of new clinical drugs.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is a single-center, open-label clinical study, with adult healthy subjects, elderly healthy subjects and elderly patients with atrial fibrillation as the research subjects. Adult healthy subjects and elderly healthy subjects only take one 110 mg dabigatran etexilate capsule (low-dose specification in the instruction manual) orally. Elderly patients with atrial fibrillation take dabigatran etexilate according to routine medical treatment. Blood samples at 0 h(before dosing), 2 h, 6 h, 10 h and 24 h after dosing, and additional stool samples were collected.
