About this study
Official title: Open-Label, Randomized, Partially Balanced, Incomplete Block Design Sudy to Evaluate the Hormone Exposure From Commercial ORTHO EVRA�
The objective of this study is to estimate the exposure to the hormones norelgestromin, norgestrel, and ethinyl estradiol in the bloodstream of healthy female volunteers across multiple commercial lots of ORTHO EVRA® (a transdermal contraceptive patch) and to compare these data to historical hormonal exposure data from one ORTHO EVRA® clinical development lot.
Read the detailed description
This multicenter, open-label, randomized, partially-balanced, incomplete block design study will consist of a pre-treatment phase (a screening period lasting up to 21 days), an open-label treatment phase (three 7-day treatment periods separated by 21-day washouts), and a post-treatment phase (a follow-up or early withdrawal visit). Total participation in the study is approximately 67 days. Approximately 52 subjects will be enrolled. The study population comprises healthy women, ages 18 to 45 years inclusive, who weigh at least 110 pounds, have a body mass index (BMI) between 16 and 29.9 kg per meter squared.
An ORTHO EVRA® patch from 1 of the 13 selected commercial lots will be applied to the buttock of each subject and worn for 7 days. Patches will be applied on Days 1, 29, and 57 by the investigator or designated study unit personnel. Each patch will be worn on the upper outer quadrant of the same buttock, but the 3 patches will not necessarily be placed in the exact same position. The investigator or designated study unit personnel will remove the patches on Days 8, 36, and 64 and will evaluate the adhesion of the patches before removal.
Subjects will be confined to the study unit for blood sample collections for determination of NGMN, NG, and EE serum concentrations. Blood samples will be collected (via venipuncture) immediately before and at specified time points after each patch application. Pharmacokinetic parameters of NGMN, NG, and EE, including Cmax, tmax, and AUC for each treatment will be estimated by standard methods. Safety will be assessed throughout the study, and will be based on adverse events and changes in physical and gynecologic examinations (including breast examinations), vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and clinical laboratory test results. Three 7-day treatment periods, separated by 21-day washouts, as follows: Each ORTHO EVRA® patch will be worn on the buttock (upper outer quadrant) for 7 days. Twenty one days after completing each treatment, subjects will cross over to the next treatment for 7 days. The patch will be applied to the upper outer quadrant of the same buttock as before, but not necessarily in the exact same spot.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing EVRA transdermal contraceptive patch 6 mg NGMN and 0.75 mg EE in people with Contraception and Female Contraception, run by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C..
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Dec 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
A comparison of the exposure and pharmacokinetics of NGMN, NG, and EE after a single patch application of different commercial lots of ORTHO EVRA and a comparison of these data to historical hormonal data from a clinical development patch.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Dec 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
