Trial Outcomes & Findings for To Compare SH T00658ID Over Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo (US/Canada) (NCT NCT00754065)

NCT ID: NCT00754065

Last Updated: 2024-11-20

Results Overview

Subject self-assessed pelvic pain or headache per visual analog scale (VAS) values during the menstrual/withdrawal bleeding episode and Baseline. The VAS consists of a 100 mm long straight line, with verbal anchors at either end, representing a continuum of pain intensity. Accordingly, the scale ranges from 0 mm (absence of pain) to 100 mm (unbearable pain), and the change ranges from -100 mm (best) to 100 mm (worst).

Participant Flow

The date of first subject first visit was 08 Sep 2008. The date of last subject last visit was 10 May 2011.

A total of 776 participants were screened; 367 failed Screening, and 409 were randomized 1:1, of which 14 never received treatment, and 395 were treated (EV/DNG=191; EE/NGM=204). A total of 203 subjects (99 received EV/DNG and 104 EE/NGM) in the US and 192 (92 received EV/DNG and 100 EE/NGM) in Canada received at least one dose of the study drug.

The VAS consists of a 100 mm long straight line, with verbal anchors at either end, representing a continuum of pain intensity. Accordingly, the scale ranges from 0 mm (absence of pain) to 100 mm (unbearable pain), and the change ranges from -100 mm (best) to 100 mm (worst).

Population: All participants in FAS with assessment for this outcome measure

Change from Baseline to Cycle 6 in PGWBI Questionnaire's assessment of participant's overall sense of well-being or distress. The PGWBI includes 22 items that, apart from combining into a global overall score, are divided into 6 dimensions: anxiety, depressed mood, positive well-being, self-control, health, and vitality. The response format used a 6-grade Likert scale and the change in the normalized PGWBI global score as well as all the sub-domains score ranges from -100 (worst) to 100 (best).

Timeframe: Day 22-28 from Baseline to Day 22-28 from Cycle 6 (28 days per Cycle)

Population: All participants in FAS with assessment for this outcome measure

Rescue medication was standardized intake of 200 mg Ibuprofen tablets. Baseline: 7 days (Day 22) before first menstrual bleeding to Day 28. Treatment: 7 days (Day 22) before withdrawal bleeding of 6th cycle to Day 28 before the same cycle. The visual analog scale (VAS) is a subject-assessed measure of pelvic pain or headache consisting of a 100 mm long straight line, with verbal anchors at either end, representing a continuum of pain intensity. Accordingly, the scale ranges from 0 mm (absence of pain) to 100 mm (unbearable pain), and the change ranges from -100 mm (best) to 100 mm (worst).
