The goal of this bioequivalence of two formulations of generic apixaban 5 mg film-coated tablets. Single-dose under fasting conditions and pharmacokinetics will be characterized for a total of 28 healthy adult human subjects. Twenty-eight (28) subjects will be randomly assigned to receive either generic apixaban 5 mg film-coated tablets (1 x 5 mg; Test) or ELIQUIS (1 x 5 mg; Reference) in Period 1 and after the washout period they will receive the other formulation as a crossover fashion in Period 2.

Twenty-eight (28) healthy adult male and female volunteers (preferably with approximately equal numbers of each sex, if possible) 18 to 55 years will be enrolled from the general population. Healthy adult male and female volunteers will be recruited in bioequivalence study as recommended in United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Draft Guidance on Apixaban. (11) Apixaban is a drug that can be used in any sex. By these reasons, normal healthy males and females as general population will be screened and 28 subjects will be recruited and enrolled into the study. An attempt will be made by clinical study team to recruit subjects as per requirement.

Remark: The expected ratio of male to female subjects is 1:1; however, if necessary, the ratio can be varied but not more than 25% each.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Healthy Thai male or female subjects between the ages of 18 to 55 years. Subject must meet age requirements at the time of signing the initial informed consent and at the dosing day in Period 1.

Injectable contraceptives e.g. Depo-Provera® will be discontinued at least 6 months prior to check-in in Period 1. Subjects agree to use acceptable non-hormonal contraceptive methods such as condom, diaphragm, foams, jellies, or abstinence for at least 14 days prior to check-in in Period 1 until 7 days after the end of study in Period 2. Female subjects of non-childbearing potential must meet at least one of the following criteria prior to check-in in Period 1:
• Postmenopausal for at least 1 year or
• Surgically sterile (bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy) at least 6 months
• Male subjects who are willing or able to use effective contraceptive e.g. condom or abstinence after check-in in Period 1 until 7 days after the end of study in Period 2.
• Able to understand and voluntarily given written informed consent (signed and dated) by the subject prior to participating in this study.
• Adequate venous access in both arms for the collection of a number of samples during the study

Exclusion Criteria

• Have abnormality of prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) Have abnormality of prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)

• History or evidence of hepatic disease associated with coagulopathy and clinically relevant bleeding risk

• Have lesion or condition if considered a significant risk factor for major bleeding including current or recent gastrointestinal ulceration, presence of malignant neoplasms at high risk of bleeding, recent brain or spinal injury, recent brain, spinal or ophthalmic surgery, recent intracranial haemorrhage, known or suspected oesophageal varices, arteriovenous malformations, vascular aneurysms or major intraspinal or intracerebral vascular abnormalities.

If QTc exceeds 450 msec, or QRS exceeds 120 msec, the ECG will be repeated two more times and the average of the three QTc or QRS values will be used to determine the subject's eligibility.

• Investigation with blood sample shows positive test for HBsAg.

• Abnormal liver function, ≥1.5 times of upper normal limit of reference range for ALT, AST or bilirubin levels at screening laboratory test
