About this study

Official title: A Double-blind, Randomized, Dose-controlled Study to Evaluate Pharmacodynamic Properties of Four Oral Doses of Dienogest (DNG) in 100 Healthy Young Female Volunteers Over a Period of Two Cycles up to a Maximum of 72 Days

This study will be investigated what mechanism of action Dienogest has. The growth of the follicles, the endometrium, the hormones in the blood and the mucus that is produced by the cervix that will be looked upon. Four different dosages of Dienogest (0.5 mg, 1 mg, 2 mg and 3 mg) will be investigated in healthy young women over two cycles, or up to a maximum of 72 days.

Being tested
Dienogest (81150037), Dienogest (81150231), Dienogest (SH T00660A), Dienogest (81150746)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Dienogest (81150037), Dienogest (81150231) and Dienogest (SH T00660A) in people with Pharmacodynamics, run by Bayer at 1 site in Netherlands.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jan 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Netherlands. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

No primary variables defined, all variables are considered exploratory since no confirmatory statistical analysis planned (time frame: No primary variables defined, all variables are considered exploratory since no confirmatory statistical analysis planned). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00754871, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Jan 2015.
