Participant Flow

Healthy young women, aged 18 - 38 years inclusive, who were nonsmokers were enrolled from 16 August 2006 to 4 July 2007 at one center in Germany.

147 female volunteers were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria to determine that the volunteer was in a good state of health and appropriate for inclusion in the study, and 48 volunteers were randomized at one center.

single oral administration of 1 film-coated SHT04532A tablet (with ethinylestradiol (EE) as clathtrate), containing 0.030 mg EE + 3 mg drospirenone (DRSP) + 0.451 mg Metafolin (L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate calcium \[L-5-MTHF Ca\])
Mean Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Administration up to 72h AUC(0-72h) of DRSP
352 ng∙h/mL
Interval 323.0 to 383.0
366 ng∙h/mL
Interval 346.0 to 388.0

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: up to 168 hours after administration

Population: Note that not all samples were evaluable for each outcome measure. Therefore the number of participants analyzed not necessarily matches the number of completers.

Tmax refers to the time after dosing when a drug attains its highest measurable concentration (Cmax). It is obtained by collecting a series of blood samples at various times after dosing, and measuring them for drug content
