A Study to Evaluate the Effect of Multiple Oral Doses of JNJ-42847922 on the Steady-state Pharmacokinetics of an Oral Contraceptive Containing Ethinyl Estradiol and Levonorgestrel in Healthy Female Adult Participants

April 25, 2025 updated by: Janssen-Cilag International NV

An Open-label Drug-drug Interaction Study in Healthy Female Adult Subjects to Investigate the Effect of Multiple Oral Doses of JNJ-42847922 on the Steady-state Pharmacokinetics of an Oral Contraceptive Containing Ethinyl Estradiol and Levonorgestrel

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of multiple 40 milligram (mg) doses of JNJ-42847922 on the steady state pharmacokinetics (PK) of multiple doses of a combination oral contraceptive (OC) containing ethinyl estradiol (EE) and levonorgestrel (LN) in healthy female adult partcipants.
