Study Evaluating the Bioequivalence of Levonorgestrel/Ethinyl Estradiol Combinations in Cycling Women
Phase 1
Withdrawn
- Conditions
- Contraception
- Registration Number
- NCT00447863
- Lead Sponsor
- Wyeth is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer
- Brief Summary
Levonorgestrel/ethinyl estradiol (LNG/EE) is an investigational drug that is being developed as an oral contraceptive (birth control pill). The purpose of this trial is to compare different preparations of LNG/EE by assessing the way they are absorbed into the blood.
