Sponsor:	Bayer
Information provided by:	Bayer
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00754065

Purpose

The objective of the study is to compare the oral contraceptive (OC) SH T00658ID over Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo administered for 13 cycles to healthy female volunteers between 18 and 50 years of age who request oral contraceptive protection. Subjects on a LNG, NGM, or norethindrone/norethindrone acetate containing oral contraceptive in a 21-day regimen suffering from hormone withdrawal-associated symptoms such of pelvic pain or headache or both, and willing to continue OC use but to switch to SH T00658ID or Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo.

Primary Outcome Measures:

The change of pelvic pain (stratum 1) or the change of headache (stratum 2) as determined by the change of average VAS (Visual Analog Scale) during cycle days 22 to 28 [ Time Frame: From Baseline to Cycle 6. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Change in VAS of the hormone withdrawal-associated symptoms pelvic pain or headache [ Time Frame: During cycle days 22 to 28 from Baseline to Cycle 3 and Baseline to Cycle 13 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Rescue medication consumption [ Time Frame: Baseline to Cycle 6 and Baseline to Cycle 13 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Frequency and intensity of other hormone-related symptoms (bloating or swelling, breast tenderness, and nausea or vomiting) [ Time Frame: During cycle days 22 to 28, Baseline to Cycle 6 and Baseline to Cycle 13 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Prevalence of individual hormone-related symptoms [ Time Frame: During cycle days 1 to 21, Baseline to Cycle 6 and Baseline to Cycle 13 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Prevalence of individual hormone-related symptoms during hormone-free interval [ Time Frame: Cycle days 27+28 for EV/DNG capsules and cycle days 22 to 28 for the comparator ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Bleeding pattern and cycle control [ Time Frame: Baseline to Cycle 13 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
QoL Questionnaires [ Time Frame: Baseline to Cycle 13 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
