- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>To investigate whether BAF312 administered daily at a dose of 4 mg can affect<br /><br>exposure (Cmax and AUC) to a daily administered monophasic oral contraceptive<br /><br>(OC) regimen containing 30 µg of ethinylestradiol (EE) and 150 µg of<br /><br>levonorgestrel (LVG).</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>- To assess the effect of oral BAF312 (4 mg q.d.) on the pharmacodynamics of a<br /><br>monophasic OC determined by Hoogland score, FSH, LH, estradiol,<br /><br>progesterone,SHBG concentrations and ovarian follicle size<br /><br>- To assess the safety and tolerability of oral BAF312 (4 mg q.d.) in<br /><br>co-administration with a monophasic OC,<br /><br>- To assess the PK profile of oral BAF312 (4 mg q.d.) when combined with a<br /><br>daily administered monophasic oral contraceptive (OC) regimen containing 30 µg<br /><br>of EE and 150 µg of LVG.</p><br>
