简要总结
A combined oral contraceptive (COC) containing 15 mg E4 and 3 mg DRSP administered for 24 days followed by 4 placebo tablets, is being evaluated for further development. This study will investigate the effect of this COC on ovarian function inhibition, levels of serum luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol (E2) and progesterone during 3 treatment cycles in comparison with the reference COC 20 mcg EE/3 mg DRSP.

结局指标
主要结局
Proportion of subjects with ovarian inhibition at treatment Cycle 1
时间窗: All assessments will be performed once every 3 days starting treatment Cycle 1 Day 3 (± 1 day) until Day 27 (± 1 day) (one treatment cycle = 28 days).
Ovarian inhibition will be assessed by rating the suppression of ovaries using the Hoogland score. This score is based on: * the follicular size assessed by transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) * endogenous hormone levels: serum E2, and serum progesterone.
Proportion of subjects with ovarian inhibition at treatment Cycle 3
时间窗: All assessments will be performed once every 3 days starting treatment Cycle 3 Day 3 (± 1 day) until Day 27 (± 1 day) (one treatment cycle = 28 days).
Ovarian inhibition will be assessed by rating the suppression of ovaries using the Hoogland score. This score is based on: * the follicular size assessed by TVUS * endogenous hormone levels: serum E2, and serum progesterone.
