Background summary
To study the bioequivalence of NGM/EE tablets at 2 different facilities
Study objective
- To establish the bioequivalence of the hormones norgestimate, norelgestromin,
and ethinyl estradiol in NGM/EE Schaffhausen tablets compared with the same
hormones in NGM/EE Manati tablets.
- To assess the safety and tolerability of both formulations.
Study design
This is a single-dose, open-label, randomized, 2-way crossover pivotal study to
assess the bioequivalence of NGM/EE tablets manufactured at 2 different
facilities
Intervention
The study will start with a screening visit. During the screening visit
standard medical assessments including safety laboratory tests (blood draw,
urine collection), an alcohol breath test, urine drug screen, a physical
examination, breast examination, gynecologic examination with pelvic
ultrasound, ECG and a vital signs measurement will be performed. In addition a
Pap test will be done.
After the subject passes all above mentioned tests,the subject will be enrolled
in the study.
During study the subject will enter the clinic. In P1, the subjects will
receive 1 medication (an OC) once on day 1. In P2, the subjects will receive
the other medication (an OC) once on day 1. The subject will be asked on a
regular basis for possible side effects, blood will be drawn for PK and the
vital signs will be checked during the 2 confinement periods. Finally a
follow-up examination will be performed. During this visit the subjects will be
asked for possible side effects, blood and urine will be collected for safety,
the vital signs will be checked and a physical examination will be conducted.
Study burden and risks
The risk is small. The patients will be closely monitored. The patients will be
regularly questioned for any side effects and safety tests are scheduled (vital
signs). The patients will be asked to report, as soon as possible, any changes
in physical and/or mental well being.
The blood collection procedure is not dangerous, but may cause discomfort or
bruising. Occasionally, fainting or an infection at the blood sampling site may
occur.
Shaving may be required for proper placemant of ECGpatches. This may cause
irritation or bleeding of the skin. ECG patches may cause redness, itching,
rash, or blisters on the skin and/or hair loss due to removal of ECG patches.

- Received medroxyprogesterone injection (e.g., Depo Provera®) within 6 months of admission to the study
- Use of any other hormonal contraceptive within 60 days of Day -1 of Period 1
- History of drug or alcohol abuse according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th edition) (DSM-IV) criteria within 2 years before Screening or positive test result(s) for alcohol and/or drugs of abuse (such as barbiturates, opiates, cocaine, cannabinoids, amphetamines and benzodiazepines) at Screening and Day -1 of the each treatment period
