What is being measured

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

  1. Area under the concentration-time curve of ethinylestradiol and levonogestrel (Microgynon®) in plasma over the dosing interval at steady-state (AUCτ,ss)

    Measured: On day 14 and on day 21

  2. Maximum measured concentration of ethinylestradiol and levonogestrel (Microgynon®) in plasma at steady state (Cmax,ss)

    Measured: On day 14 and on day 21

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. Time from last dosing to the maximum measured concentration of EE and LNG in plasma at steady state (tmax,ss)

    Measured: Up to day 22 after start of treatment

  2. Apparent clearance of EE and LNG in plasma following extravascular administration at steady state (CL/F,ss)

    Measured: Up to day 22 after start of treatment

  3. Apparent volume of distribution of EE and LNG during the terminal phase λz at steady state following extravascular administration (Vz/F,ss)

    Measured: Up to day 22 after start of treatment

  4. Terminal half-life of EE and LNG in plasma at steady state (t1/2,ss)

    Measured: Up to day 22 after start of treatment

  5. Terminal rate constant of EE and LNG in plasma at steady state (λz,ss)

    Measured: Up to day 22 after start of treatment

  6. Mean residence time of EE and LNG in the body at steady state after oral administration (MRTpo,ss)

    Measured: Up to day 22 after start of treatment

  7. Pre-dose plasma concentrations of EE and LNG for attainment of steady state

    Measured: Up to day 21 after start of Microgynon® treatment

  8. Pre-dose plasma concentration of BI 1356 for attainment of steady state

    Measured: Day 15 up to 7 days after start of BI 1356 treatment (day 21)

  9. Plasma concentration of BI 1356

    Measured: Day 21

  10. Number of patients with adverse events

    Measured: Up to 14 weeks

  11. Number of patients with clinically relevant changes in vital signs (BP, HR)

    Measured: Up to 14 weeks

  12. Number of patients with clinical relevant changes in laboratory evaluation (haematology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis)

    Measured: Up to 14 weeks

  13. Number of patients with clinically relevant changes in ECG recordings

    Measured: Up to 14 weeks

  14. Assessment of global tolerability by the investigator, a 4-point scale

    Measured: Up to day 14 after last administration of study drug on day 21

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Microgynon® and BI 1356 in people with Healthy, run by Boehringer Ingelheim.

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 5 inclusion and 26 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 Jul 2014. 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?

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?

Area under the concentration-time curve of ethinylestradiol and levonogestrel (Microgynon®) in plasma over the dosing interval at steady-state (AUCτ,ss) (time frame: On day 14 and on day 21). 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 8 Jul 2014.
