A Study in Healthy Participants Investigating Biomarkers After Exposure to Heparin When Heparin is Administered in the Fasted State or After a High-fat Meal. Heparin, a Registered Drug, is an Anticoagulant (Blood Thinner) That Prevents the Formation of Blood Clots.

Clinical Trial Summary

In this study biomarkers in the blood after exposure to heparin in the fasted state or after a high-fat meal will be investigated. Heparin will be administered as an intravenous (iv) injection (injection directly in a blood vessel). In this study, the effects of administration of heparin will be compared with the effects of administration of normal saline which will also be administered as an iv injection.
