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.

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

  • Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Description

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Body mass index of 18.0 to 30.0 kilogram per meter square (Kg/m^2)
  • A total body weight greater than (>) 50 kilogram (kg)
  • Nonsmoker or ex-smoker for at least 12 months before screening

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of febrile or acute illness that has not fully resolved by 14 days before the first dose of study drug
  • Any condition possibly affecting drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion
  • Relative contraindications to hormonal estrogen therapy that, in the opinion of the investigator, might confound the results of the study or pose an additional risk in administering study drug to the participant. This may include, but is not limited to, intolerance to hormonal contraceptives; hypertension; history of deep vein thrombosis; coronary artery disease; cardiovascular disease; systemic lupus erythematosus; migraine; history of breast or cervical cancer; cirrhosis; and history of liver cancer.

Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria will apply.

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.

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
