Trial Outcomes & Findings for Bioequivalence of Nomegestrol Acetate (NOMAC) and Estradiol (E2) in Commercial Versus Phase 3 Pivotal Clinical Batches of NOMAC-E2 Tablets (P06328) (NCT NCT01345786)

NCT ID: NCT01345786

Last Updated: 2022-02-09

Results Overview

Bioequivalence for NOMAC and E2 were tested on the primary PK parameters: Cmax, AUC(infinity), and AUClast for NOMAC; and baseline adjusted AUC72 and Cmax for E2. Blood samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluation of NOMAC were collected at predose (0 hour) and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, and 144 hours postdose Day 1.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 0 hours to time of maximum observed plasma concentration of NOMAC (tmax of NOMAC) (blood samples were collected for NOMAC evaluation up to 144 hours postdose)

Population: The # of plasma profiles analyzed is based on the # of single-dose administration periods actually completed (some participants discontinued without completing all 4 dosing periods). Part 1 analyses also excluded certain data from participants who were misdosed, and Part 2 analyses excluded participants who did not receive drug.

Bioequivalence for NOMAC and E2 were tested on the primary PK parameters: Cmax, AUC(infinity), and AUClast for NOMAC; and baseline adjusted AUC72 and Cmax for E2. Blood samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluation of NOMAC were collected at predose (0 hour) and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, and 144 hours postdose Day 1.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 0 hours to t1/2 (blood samples were collected for E2 evaluation up to 96 hours postdose)

Population: The # of plasma profiles analyzed is based on the # of single-dose administration periods actually completed (some participants discontinued without completing all 4 dosing periods). Part 1 analyses also excluded certain data from participants who were misdosed, and Part 2 analyses excluded participants who did not receive drug.
