Systematic Development and Verification of a Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Model of Rivaroxaban.

Rivaroxaban is indicated for stroke prevention in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF). Its elimination is mediated by both hepatic metabolism and renal excretion. Consequently, its clearance is susceptible to both intrinsic (pathophysiological) and extrinsic (concomitant drugs) variabilities that in turn implicate bleeding risks.
