About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo and Positive Controlled, Parallel Group Trial to Investigate the Effect of Multiple Doses of NOMAC-E2 on QT/QTc Interval in Healthy Women

The trial is a single-center randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo and positive controlled, parallel group clinical trial.

This trial investigated whether NOMAC-E2 (Org 10486 -0 + Org 2317), a new combined hormonal contraceptive, has potential to delay cardiac repolarization. The primary measure of cardiac repolarization in this trial is the Fridericia corrected QT interval (QTcF). QTcF represents the duration of ventricular depolarization and subsequent repolarization. A delay in cardiac repolarization creates an electrophysiological environment that favors the development of cardiac arrhythmias, most clearly torsade de pointes (TdP), but possibly other ventricular tachyarrhythmias.

The primary aim of this study is to investigate, if the administration of a therapeutic (2.5/1.5 mg) or supra-therapeutic (higher than required for treatment: 12.5/7.5 mg) dose of NOMAC-E2 administered over a period of 14 days will prolong the mean QTcF interval to values above the accepted threshold of regulatory concern.

In addition, a single dose of moxifloxacin will be administered in order to prove that sensitivity of the applied assay is sufficient to detect the prolongation of the QTcF-interval.

Secondary aims of this study are to evaluate the relation between concentrations of NOMAC (therapeutic and supra-therapeutic) after steady state has been reached in the subject's body, the time matched change in Estradiol E1 and E2 in relation to baseline and the QTcF intervals after multiple dose administration of NOMAC-E2.

Finally, the safety and tolerability of different treatments are investigated.

A total of 189 subjects will participate in this trial. The entire study duration is about 9 weeks with a 4-week screening period, 14-day treatment period and a follow-up period of about 3 weeks.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Investigate whether once daily multiple therapeutic and supra-therapeutic doses of NOMAC-E2 prolong the mean QTcF interval at steady state to the threshold of regulatory concern compared to placebo

    Measured: 16 days

  2. Establish assay sensitivity after single dose of 400 mg moxifloxacin

    Measured: 16 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. evaluate the relation between steady state concentrations of NOMAC, time matched change from baseline in E1 and E2 and the QTcF intervals after multiple dosing of NOMAC-E2

    Measured: 16 days

  2. Investigate safety and tolerability of the various treatments

    Measured: 64 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Moxifloxacin and NOMAC-E2 (Org 10486-0 + Org 2317) in people with Contraception, run by Organon and Co.

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 11 inclusion and 13 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 16 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Investigate whether once daily multiple therapeutic and supra-therapeutic doses of NOMAC-E2 prolong the mean QTcF interval at steady state to the threshold of regulatory concern compared to placebo (time frame: 16 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00779532, 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 16 Feb 2022.
