A Study to Investigate the Repeat-dose Pharmacokinetics of a Combined Oral Contraceptive When Given Alone and in Combination With Ganfeborole in Female Participants of Non-childbearing Potential

This study is designed to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of Ganfeborole and Microgynon, an oral contraceptive containing ethinylestradiol (EE) and levonorgestrel (LNG), when Microgynon is administered alone and in combination with Ganfeborole in healthy female participants of non-childbearing potential.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Participant is 18 to <65 years of age, inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
  • Participants who are healthy as determined by the investigator or medically qualified designee based on a medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and cardiac monitoring (history and ECG).
  • A creatinine clearance of >=75 mL/min.
  • Normal echocardiogram or echocardiogram with normal left ventricular function with at most trace to mild valvular regurgitation is allowed and no valvular stenosis.
  • Body weight >=40.0 kg (99 pounds [lbs]) and body mass index within the range 18.5 up to 30.0 kg/m^2 (inclusive).
  • Participant of Non-childbearing Potential. Participants in the following categories are considered female PONCBP: Postmenopausal female.

A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause.

  • A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a postmenopausal state in individuals not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). However, in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, confirmation with more than one FSH measurement is required, within the Screening period.
  • Females on HRT and whose menopausal status is in doubt must discontinue HRT at least 30 days prior to the start of Treatment Period 1 to allow confirmation of postmenopausal status before study enrollment.
  • Participant is capable of giving signed informed consent which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the Informed Consent Form (ICF) and in the protocol.
  • Additional inclusion criteria:
  • Two FSH tests
  • Negative pregnancy test

Exclusion criteria

  • Any acute laboratory abnormality at Screening which, in the opinion of the investigator, should preclude participation in the study of an investigational compound.
  • Participants with haemoglobin <8.0 g/dL.
  • Any Grade 3 to 4 laboratory abnormality at Screening, inclusive of creatine phosphokinase and lipid abnormalities and ALT, excludes a participant from the study unless the investigator provided a compelling explanation for the laboratory result(s) and has the assent of the sponsor. A single repeat of any laboratory abnormality is allowed within a single screening period to determine eligibility.
