Conditions
Healthy
Being tested
EVRA patch (NGMN+EE) (Treatment A) (Reference), HMW PIB patch (NGMN+EE) (Treatment B) (Test)

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • EVRA patch (NGMN+EE) (Treatment A) (Reference)Drug

    Also called RWJ10553

    A single transdermal contraceptive patch of EVRA (NGMN + EE) containing 6 milligram (mg) of the progestin NGMN and 600 microgram (mcg) of the EE will be applied to the buttock (right or left) of participants on Day 1 of each treatment period and is removed 7 days after patch application, ie, on Day 8.

  • HMW PIB patch (NGMN+EE) (Treatment B) (Test)Drug

    Also called RWJ10553

    A single transdermal contraceptive HMW PIB (NGMN + EE) patch containing 6 mg of the progestin NGMN and 600 mcg of the EE will be applied to the buttock (right or left) of participants on Day 1 of each treatment period and is removed 7 days after patch application, ie, on Day 8.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Steady-State Concentration (Css) for Norelgestromin (NGMN)

    Mean steady-state concentration for NGMN after patch application, will be calculated as the mean concentration between 48 hours and 168 hours after patch application.

    Measured: 48 to 168 hours post-dose

  2. Mean Steady-State Concentration (Css) for Ethinyl Estradiol (EE)

    Mean steady-state concentration for EE after patch application, will be calculated as the mean concentration between 48 hours and 168 hours after patch application.

    Measured: 48 to 168 hours post-dose

  3. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 (Patch Application) to Time 168 hours Post-dose (AUC[0-168]) for NGMN

    Area under the concentration versus time curve from zero (patch application) to 168 hours of NGMN in plasma will be assessed.

    Measured: Pre-dose to 168 hours post-dose

  4. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 (Patch Application) to Time 168 hours Post-dose (AUC[0-168]) for EE

    Area under the concentration versus time curve from zero (patch application) to 168 hours of EE in plasma will be assessed.

    Measured: Pre-dose to 168 hours post-dose

  5. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 (Patch Application) to Time 240 hours Post-dose (AUC[0-240]) for NGMN

    Area under the concentration versus time curve from zero (patch application) to 240 hours of NGMN in plasma will be assessed.

    Measured: Pre-dose to 240 hours post-dose

  6. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 (Patch Application) to Time 240 hours Post-dose (AUC[0-240]) for EE

    Area under the concentration versus time curve from zero (patch application) to 240 hours of EE in plasma will be assessed.

    Measured: Pre-dose to 240 hours post-dose

  7. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 (Patch Application) to Infinite Time (AUC[0-infinity]) for NGMN

    Area under the concentration versus time curve from zero (patch application) to infinite time of NGMN in plasma will be assessed.

    Measured: Pre-dose to 240 hours post-dose

  8. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 (Patch Application) to Infinite Time (AUC[0-infinity]) for EE

    Area under the concentration versus time curve from zero (patch application) to infinite time of EE in plasma will be assessed.

    Measured: Pre-dose to 240 hours post-dose

  9. Cumulative Adhesion Percentage Ratio

    Adhesion of patches will be assessed in accordance with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) 0-5 scoring system. An estimated percentage of adhesion, to a whole integer, will be obtained (EMA 0-5 [percentage (%)] scoring). Estimated percentages of adhesion and corresponding EMA 0-5 score at each interval will be recorded in each participant's electronic case report form. The scoring system for adhesion of transdermal patches is indicated as follows: 0= greater than (>) 90-100% of the patch area adheres; 1= >80-90% of the patch area adheres; 2= >70-80% of the patch area adheres; 3= >60-70% of the patch area adheres; 4= >50-60% of the patch area adheres; 5= 0-less than or equal to (<=) 50% of the patch area adheres.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and every 24 hours after patch application up to patch removal at 168 hours (Day 8)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Irritation Potential

    Percentage of participants with specific application site reactions will be summarized for each treatment.

    Measured: Screening, pre-dose, 168.5 and 192 hours post-dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing EVRA patch (NGMN+EE) (Treatment A) (Reference) and HMW PIB patch (NGMN+EE) (Treatment B) (Test) in people with Healthy, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 1 site in Belgium.

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 5 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 2025. 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 Belgium. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Mean Steady-State Concentration (Css) for Norelgestromin (NGMN) (time frame: 48 to 168 hours post-dose). The study lists 9 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 3 Feb 2025.
