About this study

Official title: Single Center, Double Blind, Randomized, Crossover Study to Investigate the Impact of the Oral Contraceptive Yasmin (30 µg EE / 3 mg DRSP) Compared to Microgynon (30 µg / 150 LNG) on Hemostasis Parameters in 40 Female Volunteers

The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of the oral contraceptive YASMIN (containing: drospirenone 3 mg/ethinyl estradiol 30 mcg) in comparison with the oral contraceptive MICROGYNON (containing: levonorgestrel 150 mcg/ethinyl estradiol 30mcg) on factors of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis in female subjects

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Yasmin (DRSP 3mg/EE 0.03 mg)Drug

    The study medication was packaged in 21-tablet blister packs. Each subject kit contained 7 blister packs plus 1 reserve blister pack.Subjects randomly assigned to the treatment group received 21 consecutive days of hormonally active tablets (3mg DRSP/0.03 mgEE). In each treatment cycle 21 tablets (1 tablet daily) have to be taken in sequence, followed by a pill-free interval of 7 days. The treatment period was 7 cycles (28 days per cycle).

  • Microgynon (LNG 0.15 mg/EE 0.03 mg)Drug

    The study medication was packaged in 21-tablet blister packs. Each subject kit contained 7 blister packs plus 1 reserve blister pack.Subjects randomly assigned to the treatment group received 21 consecutive days of hormonally active tablets (LNG 0.15 mg/EE 0.03 mg). In each treatment cycle 21 tablets (1 tablet daily) have to be taken in sequence, followed by a pill-free interval of 7 days. The treatment period was 7 cycles (28 days per cycle).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pro-coagulatory parameters: Factor VIII (activity), Fibrinogen

    Measured: At baseline and after wash out (period 2); after 7 cycles of treatment in each of the two study periods

  2. Anti-coagulatory parameters: Protein C (activity), Antithrombin III(activity), APC resistance (factor V mutation)

    Measured: At baseline and after wash out (period 2); after 7 cycles of treatment in each of the two study periods

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Rosing test: APC sensitivity ratio

    Measured: At baseline and after wash out (period 2); after 7 cycles of treatment in each of the two study periods

  2. Pro-coagulatory parameters: Factor VIII (activity), Activation markers: D-dimer, Prothrombin fragment 1+2

    Measured: At baseline and after wash out (period 2); after 7 cycles of treatment in each of the two study periods

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Yasmin (DRSP 3mg/EE 0.03 mg) and Microgynon (LNG 0.15 mg/EE 0.03 mg) in people with Healthy, run by Bayer at 1 site in Germany.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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 30 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Pro-coagulatory parameters: Factor VIII (activity), Fibrinogen (time frame: At baseline and after wash out (period 2); after 7 cycles of treatment in each of the two study periods). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 30 Dec 2014.
