This is an open-label study (participants and the study physician [Investigator] will know the identity of the assigned treatments) to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) (how the drugs are absorbed in the body) and pharmacodynamics (PD) (the actions or effects of drugs on the body) of rivaroxaban in study participants with mild or moderate renal impairment (reduced kidney function) receiving multiple doses of erythromycin, to the PK and PD of a single dose of rivaroxaban administered alone in study participants with normal renal function. The study drugs used will be rivaroxaban, a drug that acts to thin the blood to prevent the formation of blood clots, and erythromycin, an antibiotic used to treat patients with bacterial infections. Study participants with normal renal function will receive Treatment A (1 oral [by mouth] dose 10 mg rivaroxaban for 1 day) and Treatment C (500 mg oral erythromycin 3x a day (t.i.d.) on Days 1-6 + 1 oral dose of 10 mg rivaroxaban on Day 5). Study participants with mild and moderate renal impairment will receive Treatment A, Treatment B (500 mg oral erythromycin t.i.d. on Days 1-6 + 1 oral dose of 5 mg rivaroxaban Day 5), and Treatment C. Treatments A, B, and C will be separated by up to 14 days.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of rivaroxaban when administered with erythromycin to study participants with mild or moderate renal impairment compared to the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of rivaroxaban administered to study participants with normal renal function.
