About this study

Official title: A 2-part, Cross-over Trial of NOMAC-E2 to Assess Bioequivalence Between the Phase 3 Pivotal Clinical Batches and a Batch Prepared Using the Commercial Drug Manufacturing Process

For the contraceptive application a film-coated tablet has been developed which combines nomegestrol acetate (NOMAC) with estradiol (E2). This was an open-label, randomized, single-dose, four-way, replicate, cross-over study design conducted in 2 parallel parts at two sites, one site per study part. The primary objective of Part 1 was to assess the bioequivalence of NOMAC and E2 of the drug product manufactured using the commercial process ("commercial batch") versus the Phase 3 drug product ("Batch A"). The primary objective of Part 2 was to assess bioequivalence of NOMAC and E2 of the drug product manufactured using the commercial process ("commercial batch") versus the Phase 3 drug product ("Batch B").

Being tested
Commercial NOMAC-E2, Phase 3 NOMAC-E2 "Batch A", Phase 3 NOMAC-E2 "Batch B"

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration of NOMAC (Cmax of NOMAC)

    Bioequivalence for NOMAC and E2 were tested on the primary PK parameters: Cmax, AUC(infinity), and AUClast for NOMAC; and baseline adjusted AUC72 and Cmax for E2.

    Blood samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluation of NOMAC were collected at predose (0 hour) and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, and 144 hours postdose Day 1.

    Measured: 0 hours to time of maximum observed plasma concentration of NOMAC (tmax of NOMAC) (blood samples were collected for NOMAC evaluation up to 144 hours postdose)

  2. Baseline Corrected Maximum Observed Serum Concentration of E2 (Cmax of E2)

    Bioequivalence for NOMAC and E2 were tested on the primary PK parameters: Cmax, AUC(infinity), and AUClast for NOMAC; and baseline adjusted AUC72 and Cmax for E2.

    Blood samples for PK evaluation of E2 were collected predose (-1, -0.5, and 0 hour) and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours postdose Day 1; multiple predose samples were needed to correct for endogenous levels.

    Measured: 0 hours to time of maximum observed serum concentration of E2 (tmax of E2) (blood samples were collected for E2 evaluation up to 96 hours postdose)

  3. Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to the Time of the Last Measurable Sample (AUC Last) and Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to Infinity (AUC Infinity) for NOMAC

    Bioequivalence for NOMAC and E2 were tested on the primary PK parameters: Cmax, AUC(infinity), and AUClast for NOMAC; and baseline adjusted AUC72 and Cmax for E2.

    AUClast is the AUC from time 0 to the time of the final quantifiable sample.

    AUC infinity is the AUC from time 0 to infinity.

    Blood samples for PK evaluation of NOMAC were collected at predose (0 hour) and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, and 144 hours postdose Day 1.

    Measured: 0 hours to time of the last measurable sample (blood samples were collected for NOMAC evaluation up to 144 hours postdose)

  4. Baseline Corrected Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to 72 Hours (AUC72) for E2

    Bioequivalence for NOMAC and E2 were tested on the primary PK parameters: Cmax, AUC(infinity), and AUClast for NOMAC; and baseline adjusted AUC72 and Cmax for E2.

    AUC72 is the AUC from time 0 to 72 hours.

    Blood samples for PK evaluation of E2 were collected predose (-1, -0.5, and 0 hour) and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours postdose Day 1; multiple predose samples were needed to correct for endogenous levels.

    Measured: 0 hours to 72 hours

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Tmax of NOMAC

    Measured: 0 hours to tmax of NOMAC (blood samples were collected for NOMAC evaluation up to 144 hours postdose)

  2. Tmax of E2

    Measured: 0 hours to tmax of E2 (blood samples were collected for E2 evaluation up to 96 hours postdose)

  3. Terminal Phase Half Life (t1/2) of NOMAC

    Measured: 0 hours to t1/2 (blood samples were collected for NOMAC evaluation up to 144 hours postdose)

  4. t1/2 of E2

    Measured: 0 hours to t1/2 (blood samples were collected for E2 evaluation up to 96 hours postdose)

  5. Clearance (Calculated for NOMAC Only)

    Measured: blood samples were collected for NOMAC evaluation up to 144 hours postdose

  6. Volume of Distribution (Calculated for NOMAC Only)

    Measured: blood samples were collected for NOMAC evaluation up to 144 hours postdose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Commercial NOMAC-E2, Phase 3 NOMAC-E2 "Batch A" and Phase 3 NOMAC-E2 "Batch B" in people with Healthy Postmenopausal Females, 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 2 inclusion and 9 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 9 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. 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 29 Aug 2011). 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?

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration of NOMAC (Cmax of NOMAC) (time frame: 0 hours to time of maximum observed plasma concentration of NOMAC (tmax of NOMAC) (blood samples were collected for NOMAC evaluation up to 144 hours postdose)). The study lists 4 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 9 Feb 2022.
