Multi-center, Double-blind, Randomized Study to Investigate the Impact of a Sequential Oral Contraceptive Containing Estradiol Valerate and Dienogest (SH T00658ID) Compared to a Monophasic Contraceptive Containing Ethinylestradiol and Levonorgestrel (Microgynon) Over 6 Treatment Cycles on Alleviating Complaints of Reduced Libido in Women With Acquired Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) Associated With Oral Contraceptive Use
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating EV/DNG (Qlaira, BAY86-5027, SH T00658ID), Microgynon, and 1 other intervention for Contraception and Libido. Completed, enrolled 217 participants across 32 sites in 7 countries.
Detailed Summary
The aim of the study is to investigate whether women on oral contraceptives (OCs) suffering from acquired OC-associated female sexual dysfunction (FSD) for at least 3 months but no longer than one year will express the same level of sexual distress when taking SH T00658ID compared to Microgynon, the usual OC prescribed for women with OC-associated FSD.
