A Drug-drug Interaction Study to Investigate the Effects of AZD1981 on the Metabolism and Pharmacodynamics of Oral Contraceptives

November 17, 2010 updated by: AstraZeneca

A Phase I, Double-blind, Randomised, Placebo-controlled, Two-cycle Crossover, Drug-drug Interaction Study to Investigate the Effects of AZD1981 Tablets 400 mg Twice Daily on the PK and PD of Oral Contraceptives in Healthy Female Volunteers

The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether the treatment with AZD1981 will affect the metabolism of hormones included in oral contraceptives.
