Summary

The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of the oral contraceptive YASMIN (containing: drospirenone 3 mg/ethinyl estradiol 30 mcg) in comparison with the oral contraceptive MICROGYNON (containing: levonorgestrel 150 mcg/ethinyl estradiol 30mcg) on factors of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis in female subjects

Clinical Details

Official title: Single Center, Double Blind, Randomized, Crossover Study to Investigate the Impact of the Oral Contraceptive Yasmin (30 µg EE / 3 mg DRSP) Compared to Microgynon (30 µg / 150 LNG) on Hemostasis Parameters in 40 Female Volunteers

Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Active Control, Crossover Assignment, Safety Study

Primary outcome:

Pro-coagulatory parameters: Factor VIII (activity), Fibrinogen

Anti-coagulatory parameters: Protein C (activity), Antithrombin III(activity), APC resistance (factor V mutation)

Secondary outcome:

Rosing test: APC sensitivity ratio

Pro-coagulatory parameters: Factor VIII (activity), Activation markers: D-dimer, Prothrombin fragment 1+2

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: 35 Years. Gender(s): Female.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

- Clinically normal safety laboratory results.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Standard contraindications for use of combined oral contraceptives (class label).

- Including:

- Presence or history of thromboembolic process in veins (such as deep venous

thrombosis, pulmonary embolism) or arteries (e. g., stroke, myocardial infarction) or a known genetic component (homozygous), venous thromboembolic event in a close relative (parents or siblings) at younger age (<= 40 years).

- Acute and chronic severe liver dysfunction or disease. There should be an interval of

at least 6 months between the subsidence of a viral hepatitis (normalization of the liver parameters) and the start of the study medication.
