About this study

Official title: A Combined Multiple Dose and Single Dose Trial to Assess the Pharmacokinetic Profile of NOMAC, E2 and E1 After Oral Administration of NOMAC-E2 in Healthy Female Volunteers

The primary purpose of this trial is to assess the pharmacokinetic profile of NOMAC, E2 and E1 after multiple and single dose administration of the combined oral contraceptive NOMAC-E2

Read the detailed description

This trial was designed to assess the pharmacokinetic profile of NOMAC, E2 and E1 after multiple dose (MD) and single dose (SD) administration of NOMAC-E2 in healthy female volunteers.

In total 25 subjects were to enter the trial. These subjects were synchronized for menstrual cycle by taking 1 tablet NOMAC-E2 (2.5 mg / 1.5 mg) daily for a minimum of 2 weeks. This was followed by a 7-day pill-free interval. After this, all subjects were to be exposed to the open-label MD treatment with 1 tablet NOMAC-E2 (2.5 mg / 1.5 mg) once daily, during 24 days. This was followed by a second pill-free interval of 10 days, to allow for sufficient washout of NOMAC-E2. On treatment day 35, 20 subjects were to receive 1 tablet NOMAC-E2 (2.5 mg / 1.5 mg) and 5 subjects were to receive a placebo tablet in a double blinded setup. After treatment day 35 and before follow-up, all subjects would again have a pill-free interval of 7 days. After follow-up, all subjects could return to their own contraceptive schedule. Follow-up took place on treatment day 42.

Bleeding pattern and tablet intake were assessed by means of a subject diary to be completed on a daily basis. Blood sampling for pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic purposes were collected at several time points before, during and after the MD and SD period. In order to explore any possible influence of NOMAC-E2 on the QT/QTc interval, a small placebo group was designed within the SD period, to allow for comparison with the active-treated group. In addition several safety assessments (vital signs, ECGs, trans vaginal ultrasound evaluation, physical, gynecological and breast examinations, cervical smear, routine laboratory parameters and adverse events) were performed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Plasma concentrations of NOMAC and serum concentrations of E2 and E1 measured at several time points before, during and after multiple dose and after single dose administration to determine pharmacokinetics

    Measured: days 1 to 24, and days 34 - 42

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time-matched mean effects of QTcB, QTcF and QTcI values (respectively Bazett, Fredericia and Individual correction methods) compared to placebo, and time-matched changes from baseline

    Measured: Screening (week -5), days 34, 35 and 42;

  2. Drug safety as determined by gynecological and breast examination, trans vaginal ultrasound evaluation, pregnancy test, vital signs, ECG recordings, adverse events monitoring, routine laboratory parameters

    Measured: From week -5 (screening) upto and including day 42 (followup)

  3. Pharmacodynamics as determined by measuring serum concentrations of progesterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG)

    Measured: days 1 to 24, and days 34 - 42

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing nomegestrol acetate and estradiol in people with Healthy, run by Organon and Co.

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 6 inclusion and 18 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 3 Feb 2022. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Plasma concentrations of NOMAC and serum concentrations of E2 and E1 measured at several time points before, during and after multiple dose and after single dose administration to determine pharmacokinetics (time frame: days 1 to 24, and days 34 - 42). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00711607, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Feb 2022.
