Study of Safety and Efficacy of an Oral Contraceptive

April 15, 2013 updated by: Warner Chilcott

Open-Label Study of the Safety and Efficacy of a Low Dose Oral Contraceptive Containing Norethindrone Acetate and Ethinyl Estradiol

This is a non-comparative study. The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of a low dose oral contraceptive in the prevention of pregnancy. The secondary objectives are to assess the incidence of intracyclic bleeding; and to assess the safety and tolerability of the product.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 45 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date.
