    Measured: Blood samples collected over a 120 hour period.

  3. AUC0-inf of Drospirenone(Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity)

    Bioequivalence based on Drospirenone AUC0-inf.

    Measured: Blood samples collected over a 120 hour period.

  4. Cmax of Ethinyl Estradiol(Maximum Observed Concentration of Drug Substance in Plasma)

    Bioequivalence based on Ethinyl Estradiol Cmax.

    Measured: Blood samples collected over a 72 hour period.

  5. AUC0-t of Ethinyl Estradiol(Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Time of Last Measurable Concentration)

    Bioequivalence based on Ethinyl Estradiol AUC0-t.

    Measured: Blood samples collected over a 72 hour period.

  6. AUC0-inf of Ethinyl Estradiol(Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity)

    Bioequivalence based on Ethinyl Estradiol AUC0-inf.

    Measured: Blood samples collected over a 72 hour period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Drospirenone/Ethinyl Estradiol (Gianvi®) and YAZ® in people with Healthy, run by Teva Pharmaceuticals USA at 1 site in United States.

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 27 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 8 Dec 2010. 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 United States. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Oct 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Cmax of Drospirenone(Maximum Observed Concentration of Drug Substance in Plasma) (time frame: Blood samples collected over a 120 hour period.). The study lists 6 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 8 Dec 2010.
