Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Plasma aXa-Profile: C0
5 days

Estimate of the effects of renal insufficiency on the systemic exposure to aXa for once daily (τ = 24 h) repeated doses of 3,000 IU aXa as characterized by pre-dose trough (C0,ss) aXa comparing REN-patients with matched CON-subjects studied in parallel.

Dose regimen, systemic total exposure to aXa (AUC0-τ,ss)
5 days

Dosage regimen (3,000 o.d., 3,000 b.i.d., 8,000 o.d., 8,000 IU aXa in the morning plus 3,000 IU aXa in the evening, or 8,000 b.i.d. IU aXa) that yields a systemic total exposure to aXa (AUC0-τ,ss) in REN-patients similar to that achieved with 8,000 b.i.d. IU aXa in CON-subjects.

Plasma aXa-Profile: Cmax
5 days

Estimate of the effects of renal insufficiency on the systemic exposure to aXa for once daily (τ = 24 h) repeated doses of 3,000 IU aXa as characterized by maximum (Cmax,ss), aXa comparing REN-patients with matched CON-subjects studied in parallel.

Plasma aXa-Profile: AUC
5 days

Estimate of the effects of renal insufficiency on the systemic exposure to aXa for once daily (τ = 24 h) repeated doses of 3,000 IU aXa as characterized by total (AUC0-τ,ss) aXa comparing REN-patients with matched CON-subjects studied in parallel.

Frequently asked questions about Certoparin 3, Once Daily

What is Certoparin used for?

Certoparin is an investigational small molecule being studied for cardiovascular conditions including persistent nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, thromboembolism, renal dialysis, and renal insufficiency. It is a low-molecular-weight heparin evaluated for thromboprophylaxis in acutely ill medical patients and for use in renal patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Who makes Certoparin?

Certoparin is being developed by Novartis AG, a multinational pharmaceutical company listed on the NYSE under the ticker NVS. The drug is currently in clinical development for cardiovascular indications.

What phase is Certoparin in?

Certoparin is in Phase 3 clinical development. It has completed Phase 3 trials for persistent nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, embolism, and renal dialysis, as well as a Phase 1 pharmacokinetic study in renal insufficiency. It remains investigational and is not approved.

What clinical trials is Certoparin in?

Certoparin has completed several clinical trials. NCT00171769, the AFFECT trial, studied it in persistent nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. NCT00311753 evaluated it for thromboprophylaxis in acutely ill medical patients with embolism. NCT01179620 tested it in renal patients undergoing hemodialysis, and NCT01660295 examined its pharmacokinetics in renal insufficiency.

Is Certoparin the same as a low-molecular-weight heparin?

Certoparin is a low-molecular-weight heparin, as indicated in the title of one of its clinical trials. It is being studied for its efficacy and safety in preventing thromboembolism in various patient populations, including those with atrial fibrillation and renal impairment.
