About this study

Official title: Contraceptive Hormones and Women With Cystic Fibrosis: Satisfaction and Effects on Disease

Primary Objective Our primary objective in this study is to evaluate satisfaction of hormonal contraception in this sample of women and to evaluate the impact that this hormonal contraceptive has on cystic fibrosis (CF) disease in women with regular menstrual cycles accompanied by cyclic exacerbations.

We hypothesize:

1a) women with CF who perceive an overall benefit of hormonal contraception will be more satisfied than women with CF who do not perceive a benefit,

1b) women with CF who have cyclic exacerbations will have decreased Pseudomonas aeruginosa mucoidy conversion while using hormonal contraception,

1c) women with CF who have cyclic exacerbations will have improved patient-reported quality of life indices while on hormonal contraception, and

1d) women with CF who have cyclic exacerbations will have improvement in pulmonary function tests while on hormonal contraception.

Secondary Objective We plan to secondarily evaluate the cervical mucus of women with CF at the time of ovulation and compare it to that of healthy controls.

We hypothesize that women with CF have ovulatory cervical mucus similar to healthy peers.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Non-hormonal period and Ortho-cyclen, Ethinyl estradiol/norgestimate, 0.035 mg/0.250 mg in people with Cystic Fibrosis Exacerbations While on and Off Hormonal Contraception, run by University of Pennsylvania 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 1 inclusion and 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jan 2016. 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?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Satisfaction with contraception (time frame: 18 months). The study lists 3 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 Jan 2016.
