5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of activated recombinant human factor VII to mitigate experimentally-induced bleeding in healthy volunteers treated with warfarin to reach a targeted INR (International Normalization Ratio).

Arm Title
Pre-warfarin treatment (trial part A)
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Title
Post-warfarin treatment (trial part B)
Arm Type
Experimental
Intervention Type
Drug
Intervention Name(s)
warfarin
Intervention Description
After a baseline punch biopsy (B0), warfarin is administered over a period of approximately 7-14 days. Dose is adjusted individually to achieve INR target. Once a stable INR is achieved, a second biopsy (B1) will be performed
Intervention Type
Drug
Intervention Name(s)
eptacog alfa (activated)
Other Intervention Name(s)
activated recombinant human factor VII
Intervention Description
If the subject is eligible to continue in trial part B, trial drug will be administered i.v. as a slow bolus injection over 2 to 5 minutes in five different doses followed by two biopsies (B2) and (B3) 15 minutes and 5 hours and 15 minutes, respectively, after trial drug administration
Intervention Type
