Pharmacokinetic Study Of AGILE AG200-15 After Weekly Application Under Various Conditions in Healthy Female Volunteers

A Pharmacokinetic And Wearability Study of the Agile TCDS AG200-15 Following Weekly Application Under Various External Conditions in Healthy Female Volunteers

A study to evaluate pharmacokinetic profile, wearability and safety of AG200-15, transdermal delivery of levonorgestrel (LNG) and ethinyl estradiol (EE), under normal conditions and external conditions of heat, humidity, cold water and exercise.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Healthy
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: AG200-15

Detailed Description

Normal conditions - average daily living activities, Dry Sauna - 10 minutes at 168.8 - 179.6 degrees Fahrenheit, Whirlpool - 10 minutes at 102.2 - 105.8 degrees Fahrenheit, Treadmill - 20 - 30 minutes at 60-80% max heart rate, Cold Water - 5 - 15 minutes at 71.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

There will be three treatment periods. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of the five conditions for the treatment period. The subject will be exposed daily to the condition assigned while wearing the patch. The study patch will be worn for a 7 day treatment period, followed by a 7 day washout period. The total duration of the study is 6 weeks.

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: AG200-15 location; The subject will wear AG200-15 for 7 days and be exposed to one of 5 external conditions (normal, treadmill, cold water, whirlpool, dry sauna).

Drug: AG200-15; There will be three treatment periods. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of the five conditions for the treatment period. The subject will be exposed daily to the condition assigned while wearing the patch. The study patch will be worn for a 7 day treatment period, followed by a 7 day washout period. The total duration of the study is 6 weeks.; Other Names: transdermal contraceptive delivery system, patch

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC) (0-168) Profile of Levonorgestrel (LNG)	AUC(0-168) profile of LNG for each external condition including dry sauna, normal, whirlpool, cold water, and treadmill exercise. The blood sampling for the pharmacokinetic evaluations was performed at the following time points: 0 hour (immediately prior to dosing) and at 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours (1 day), 48 hours (2 days), 72 hours (3 days), 120 hours (5 days), 144 hours (6 days), and 168 hours (7 days) following application of the patch.	6 weeks
AUC(0-168) Profile of Ethinyl Estradiol (EE)	AUC(0-168) profile of EE for external condition including dry sauna, normal, whirlpool, cold water, and treadmill exercise. The blood sampling for the pharmacokinetic evaluations was performed at the following time points: 0 hour (immediately prior to dosing) and at 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours (1 day), 48 hours (2 days), 72 hours (3 days), 120 hours (5 days), 144 hours (6 days), and 168 hours (7 days) following application of the patch.	6 weeks
Steady-state Concentration (Css) (48-168) Profile of LNG	Css (48-168) profile of LNG for external condition including dry sauna, normal, whirlpool, cold water, and treadmill exercise. The blood sampling for the pharmacokinetic evaluations was performed at the following time points: 0 hour (immediately prior to dosing) and at 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours (1 day), 48 hours (2 days), 72 hours (3 days), 120 hours (5 days), 144 hours (6 days), and 168 hours (7 days) following application of the patch.	6 weeks
Css (48-168) Profile of EE	Css (48-168) profile of EE for external condition including dry sauna, normal, whirlpool, cold water, and treadmill exercise. The blood sampling for the pharmacokinetic evaluations was performed at the following time points: 0 hour (immediately prior to dosing) and at 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours (1 day), 48 hours (2 days), 72 hours (3 days), 120 hours (5 days), 144 hours (6 days), and 168 hours (7 days) following application of the patch.	6 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Patch Adhesion	Patch adhesion scores by investigator evaluation by external condition; including dry sauna, whirlpool, treadmill exercise, normal, and cold water conditions; using the following scale: 0: >90% adhered (essentially no lift off of the skin); >75% adhered but <90% (some edges showing lift); >50% adhered but <75% (half of system lifts off); <50% (> half of system lifts off, but undetached); patch completely detached Patches were assessed prior to patch removal.	6 weeks
