Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Isavuconazole and oral contraceptive	Oral Contraceptive (ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone)	Arm description(as needed): Subjects receive single dose of oral contraceptive consisting of ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone on Days 1 and 13 and oral doses of isavuconazole every 8 hours on Days 9 and 10 followed by a once a day dose in the mornings on Days 11 through 16.
Isavuconazole and oral contraceptive	isavuconazole	Arm description(as needed): Subjects receive single dose of oral contraceptive consisting of ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone on Days 1 and 13 and oral doses of isavuconazole every 8 hours on Days 9 and 10 followed by a once a day dose in the mornings on Days 11 through 16.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pharmacokinetic (PK) variables for ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone (in plasma): AUCinf , AUClast, and Cmax	For Days 1 and 13: predose and 12 times post dose; for Days 2, 3, 4, 5, 14, 15, 16, and 17: one time each day	AUC from time 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUCinf), Area under the curve (AUC) from time of dosing to last quantifiable concentration (AUClast ), and maximum concentration (Cmax)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
PK variable for ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone (in plasma): tmax , t1/2 , Vz /F, and CL/F	For Days 1 and 13: pre-dose and 12 times post dose; for Days 2, 3, 4, 5, 14, 15, 16, and 17: one time each day	Time to attain Cmax (tmax) , apparent terminal elimination half-life (t1/2 ), apparent volume of distribution (Vz /F), apparent body clearance after oral dosing (CL/F)
PK variable for isavuconazole (in plasma): Ctrough	For Day 11: predose; for Days 12 and 13: predose and 12 times post dose; for Day 14 and 15: predose; and for Day 16: predose and 24 hours post dose	trough concentration (Ctrough)
PK variable for isavuconazole (in plasma): AUCtau, Cmax, and tmax	For Days 12 and 13: predose and 12 times post dose	Area under the concentration-time curve during the time interval between consecutive dosing (AUCtau)
Safety assessed by recording adverse events, laboratory assessments, vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs)	Day 1 through Day 24 ± 2 days
