plasma drug concentrations
Up to 8 (± 60 min.) hour after each application of combined drugs (treatment period 1 and treatment period 2) blood and urine collection is continuously performed and drug concentrations as specified in the sections "study arms" and "interventions" are measured. This is repeated once 24 hours after each drug application.
Time frame: up to 24 h after drug application
PK and metabolic ratios
PK and metabolic ratios (MR, ratio between parent compound and metabolite) of the test substrates as specified in the sections "study arms" and "interventions" are measured.
Time frame: up to 24 h after drug application
variants in known genetic traits
New variants in known genetic traits are investigated and new genetic traits are identified.
Time frame: up to 24 h after drug application
design applicability
To evaluate the applicability of the repeated measure design for other, non drug-related genetic traits, such as blood coagulation pathways.
Time frame: 54 months after study start
