To Investigate Efficacy of YAZ in the Treatment of Dysmenorrhea

February 15, 2016 updated by: Bayer

A Multinational, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group Clinical Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of the Oral Hormonal Contraceptive BAY 86-5300 (0.02 mg Ethinyl Estradiol as Betadex Clathrate and 3 mg Drospirenone) Over 16 Weeks for the Treatment of Women With Dysmenorrhea

The objective of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of (0.02 mg EE as betadex clathrate [β-CDC]) / 3 mg drospirenone (DRSP) for dysmenorrhea. In order to appropriately evaluate the efficacy of EE(β-CDC)/DRSP the study was set up as a placebo-controlled comparative study

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

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. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.
  • Phase 3

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. 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 and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients suffering from dysmenorrhea for at least the previous 3 months prior to Visit 1 with a minimum visual analogue scale (VAS) score of 30 mm with regard to pain during the menstrual period of the screening period
  • Good general health (except for findings related to dysmenorrhea) as proven by medical history
  • Patients aged 18 years or older at the time of obtaining informed consent; smokers must not be older than 35 years at the time point of informed consent
  • Normal or clinically insignificant cervical smear not requiring further follow up (a cervical smear has to be taken at screening visit or a normal result has to be documented within the previous six months). Human papilloma virus (HPV) testing in subjects with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) can be used as an adjunctive test. Subjects with ASCUS can be included if they are negative for high-risk HPV strains (HPV 16, HPV18).
  • Women of childbearing potential must agree that adequate contraception will be used when they are sexually active. This applies from signing of the informed consent form until 2 weeks after the last study drug administration.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnancy (confirmed or suspected) or lactation (less than three months since delivery, abortion, or lactation before start of treatment)
  • Patients who wish to become pregnant during the course of the study
  • Body Mass Index (BMI) > 32 kg/m2
  • Hypersensitivity to any ingredient of the study drug
  • Laboratory values outside inclusion range before randomization
  • Any diseases or conditions that can compromise the function of the body systems and could result in altered absorption, excessive accumulation, impaired metabolism, or altered excretion of the study medication
  • Any diseases or conditions that might interfere with the conduct of the study or the interpretation of the results
  • Any disease or condition that may worsen under hormonal treatment according to the assessment and opinion of the investigator.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mean change in visual analogue scale (VAS) score for pain due to dysmenorrhea from baseline to Visit 6
Time Frame: Baseline to week 17
The patient marks the individual pain impression on a visual analogue scale in the range 0 (no pain) to 100mm (worst pain ever experienced)
Baseline to week 17

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of participants with adverse events as measure of safety and tolerability
Time Frame: Up to 16 weeks
Up to 16 weeks
Number of days with dysmenorrhea
Time Frame: Up to 16 weeks
The occurrence of dysmenorrhea will be recorded in the patient diary
Up to 16 weeks
Change in dysmenorrhea score
Time Frame: Baseline to week 16
It is the sum of two four-stage sub-scales which assess the extent to which dysmenorrhea interferes with daily life & the extent to which pain medication is used.
Baseline to week 16
Changes from baseline to each menstrual period of total number of taken supportive analgesic medication
Time Frame: Baseline to week 16
Standard Analgesic tablets are provided to participants
Baseline to week 16
Changes from baseline to each menstrual period of days without supportive analgesic medication.
Time Frame: Baseline to week 16
Baseline to week 16
Clinical Global Impression(CGI)
Time Frame: At week 16
The CGI is the measure of global improvement index from the opinion of the investigator and subject to document changes in the health status during treatment
At week 16
Self administered SF-36 questionnaire
Time Frame: At baseline and week 17
The 36-items Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) (version 2.0) is a set of generic, coherent,and easily administered quality-of-life measures.
At baseline and week 17
Changes from baseline to each menstrual period of severity of lumbago

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.
