What is being measured

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

  1. Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of Ethinylestradiol (EE) in Plasma at Steady State Over a Uniform Dosing Interval τ (AUCτ,ss)

    This outcome measured the area under the concentration-time curve of ethinylestradiol (EE), an active ingredient of Microgynon®, in plasma at steady state over a uniform dosing interval, following the administration of Microgynon® with and without Iclepertin. Geometric least square mean (adjusted geometric mean) and adjusted geometric standard error were calculated using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) model including effects on the sources of variation: treatment. The effect 'subjects within sequences' will be considered as random, whereas the other effects will be considered as fixed.

    Measured: From within 10 minutes before and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 hours after the administration of Microgynon® with and without Iclepertin on day 21.

  2. Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of Levonogestrel (LNG) in Plasma at Steady State Over a Uniform Dosing Interval τ (AUCτ,ss)

    This outcome measured the area under the concentration-time curve of levonogestrel (LNG), an active ingredient of Microgynon®, in plasma at steady state over a uniform dosing interval, following the administration of Microgynon® with and without Iclepertin. Geometric least square mean (adjusted geometric mean) and adjusted geometric standard error were calculated using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) model including effects on the sources of variation: treatment. The effect 'subjects within sequences' will be considered as random, whereas the other effects will be considered as fixed.

    Measured: From within 10 minutes before and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 hours after the administration of Microgynon® with and without Iclepertin on day 21.

  3. Maximum Measured Concentration of Ethinylestradiol (EE) in Plasma at Steady State Over a Uniform Dosing Interval τ (Cmax,ss)

    This outcome measured the maximum measured concentration of ethinylestradiol (EE), an active ingredient of Microgynon®, in plasma at steady state over a uniform dosing interval, following the administration of Microgynon® with and without Iclepertin. Geometric least square mean (adjusted geometric mean) and adjusted geometric standard error were calculated using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) model including effects on the sources of variation: treatment. The effect 'subjects within sequences' will be considered as random, whereas the other effects will be considered as fixed.

    Measured: From within 10 minutes before and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 hours after the administration of Microgynon® with and without Iclepertin on day 21.

  4. Maximum Measured Concentration of Levonorgestrel (LNG) in Plasma at Steady State Over a Uniform Dosing Interval τ (Cmax,ss)

    This outcome measured the maximum measured concentration of levonorgestrel (LNG), an active ingredient of Microgynon®, in plasma at steady state over a uniform dosing interval, following the administration of Microgynon® with and without Iclepertin. Geometric least square mean (adjusted geometric mean) and adjusted geometric standard error were calculated using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) model including effects on the sources of variation: treatment. The effect 'subjects within sequences' will be considered as random, whereas the other effects will be considered as fixed.

    Measured: From within 10 minutes before and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 hours after the administration of Microgynon® with and without Iclepertin on day 21.

  5. Minimum Measured Concentration of Ethinylestradiol (EE) in Plasma at Steady State Over a Uniform Dosing Interval τ (Cmin,ss )

    This outcome measured the minimum measured concentration of ethinylestradiol (EE), an active ingredient of Microgynon®, in plasma at steady state over a uniform dosing interval, following the administration of Microgynon® with and without Iclepertin. Geometric least square mean (adjusted geometric mean) and adjusted geometric standard error were calculated using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) model including effects on the sources of variation: treatment. The effect 'subjects within sequences' will be considered as random, whereas the other effects will be considered as fixed.

    Measured: From within 10 minutes before and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 hours after the administration of Microgynon® with and without Iclepertin on day 21.

  6. Minimum Measured Concentration of Levonorgestrel (LNG) in Plasma at Steady State Over a Uniform Dosing Interval τ (Cmin,ss )

    This outcome measured the minimum measured concentration of Levonorgestrel (LNG), an active ingredient of Microgynon®, in plasma at steady state over a uniform dosing interval, following the administration of Microgynon® with and without Iclepertin. Geometric least square mean (adjusted geometric mean) and adjusted geometric standard error were calculated using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) model including effects on the sources of variation: treatment. The effect 'subjects within sequences' will be considered as random, whereas the other effects will be considered as fixed.

    Measured: From within 10 minutes before and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 hours after the administration of Microgynon® with and without Iclepertin on day 21.

Individual data sharing
No: Clinical studies sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim, phases I to IV, interventional and non-interventional, are in scope for sharing of the raw clinical study data and clinical study documents. Exceptions might apply, e.g. studies in products where Boehringer Ingelheim is not the license holder; studies regarding pharmaceutical formulations and associated analytical methods, and studies pertinent to pharmacokinetics using human biomaterials; studies conducted in a single center or targeting rare diseases (in case of low number of patients and therefore limitations with anonymization).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Microgynon® and Iclepertin in people with Healthy, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 1 site in Germany.

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 9 inclusion and 9 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 6 May 2026. 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 Germany. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 May 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Concentration-time Curve of Ethinylestradiol (EE) in Plasma at Steady State Over a Uniform Dosing Interval τ (AUCτ,ss) (time frame: From within 10 minutes before and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 hours after the administration of Microgynon® with and without Iclepertin on day 21.). The study lists 6 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 NCT05613777, 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 6 May 2026.
