Contraception

Russia/Ukraine Suppression of Ovarian Activity Study

Trial purpose

The purpose of this study is to look into the effectiveness of a new investigational medication applied as a transdermal patch. The patch is applied on the skin with study medication that is absorbed through the skin suppressing ovarian activity and therefore preventing an egg from leaving an ovary (ovulation). The study will look into the study drug`s safety and how well it is tolerated and its absorption, breakdown and elimination in the body. It describes how the body affects a specific drug after administration.

Primary Outcome

  • Suppression of ovulatory activity proved by progesterone and estradiol concentrations
    Estradiol levels > 100pmol/L indicate some ovarian activity and progesterone levels > 5nmol/L in subjects with estradiol levels > 100pmol/L reflect ovulation or luteinized unruptured follicles.
