About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled, Crossover Study to Assess the Effect of ITCA 650 on the Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of a Combination Oral Contraceptive in Healthy Premenopausal Female Subjects

A Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study to assess the effect of ITCA 650 on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of once daily administration of Levora® (ethinyl estradiol 0.3 mg (EE) and levonorgestrel 0.15 mg (LNG) in healthy premenopausal female subjects.

Being tested
ITCA 650 20/60 mcg/day, ITCA placebo, ITCA placebo, ITCA 650 20/60 mcg/day

What is being measured

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

  1. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve at steady state (AUCss) for ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel

    Measured: from baseline to 13 weeks

  2. Maximum steady state plasma concentration (Cmax,ss) for ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel

    Measured: from baseline to 13 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Time to maximum steady state plasma concentration (tmax,ss) for ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel

    Immunogenicity parameters:

    • ADA (anti-exenatide antibodies)

    Safety parameters:

    • Treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) including any events local to the placement site, clinical laboratory measurements, ECGs, vital signs and physical examinations.

    Measured: baseline to 13 weeks

  2. Apparent plasma clearance at steady-state (CL/Fss) for ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel

    Measured: baseline to 13 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study of Healthy Adult Premenopausal Female Volunteers, run by Intarcia Therapeutics at 2 sites in United States.

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 26 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 22 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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?

Area under the plasma concentration-time curve at steady state (AUCss) for ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel (time frame: from baseline to 13 weeks). 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?
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 22 Mar 2016.
