Pretomanid can significantly increase plasma rivaroxaban concentrations-a case report.
Article in European journal of clinical pharmacology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundRivaroxaban, a direct factor Xa inhibitor, is an oral anticoagulant used in the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic disease. The clearance of rivaroxaban involves excretion unchanged via the kidneys where it is subject to active secretion into the renal tubules, involving P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and organic anion transporter 3 (OAT3). Pretomanid, a nitroimidazole antibiotic used for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), is an OAT3 inhibitor based on in vitro data. This case report describes a "natural experiment" involving rivaroxaban concentration monitoring. It entails a novel pharmacokinetic interaction between rivaroxaban and pretomanid in a 61-year-old male undergoing MDR-TB treatment.
resultFollowing pretomanid initiation, rivaroxaban trough plasma concentration increased more than two-fold, prompting a halving of rivaroxaban dose, and subsequent restoration of trough concentration to pre-pretomanid value. DISCUSSION: This interaction appears to be mediated by pretomanid inhibition of OAT3, which reduces renal clearance of rivaroxaban. Other components of MDR-TB regimen and pre-existing medications are unlikely to be contributory based on their pharmacokinetic profiles.
conclusionThis case highlights the potential impact of drug interactions involving pretomanid and known OAT3 perpetrators on the pharmacokinetics of rivaroxaban and other OAT3 substrates, particularly those of low therapeutic index, such as methotrexate. Given the global rise in MDR-TB, further research into pretomanid as a perpetrator of drug interactions is warranted.
