Participant Flow

Recruitment Details This is an open-label, 2-period, fixed-sequence, Phase I trial in order to investigate the effect of nintedanib on the pharmacokinetics of a combination of ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel in female patients with Systemic Sclerosis associated Interstitial Lung Disease (SSc-ILD).
Pre-assignment Detail All patients were screened for eligibility prior to participation in the trial. Patients attended a specialist site which ensured that they (the patients) strictly met all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria. Patients were not to be allocated to a treatment group if any of the entry criteria were violated.
Arm/Group Title Microgynon / Microgynon + Nintedanib
Arm/Group Description Period 1 consisted of a Microgynon alone treatment. All patients received a single dose of Microgynon: 1 tablet of 30 μg ethinylestradiol and 150 μg levonorgestrel at trial Day -3 (Reference treatment, R). Period 2 consisted of a Microgynon + nintedanib combination treatment. All patients received a continuous stable dose of nintedanib, soft gelatine capsule of 150 milligrams (mg) twice daily (bid) (300 mg total per day), starting from trial Day 1 over a period of at least 14 days to approximately 28 days. After at least 10 days of nintedanib treatment, all patients received a second single dose of Microgynon: 1 tablet of 30 μg ethinylestradiol and 150 μg levonorgestrel on trial Day 11 (Test treatment, T). All treatments were to be taken with food, swallowed whole with approximately 250 milliliters (mL) of water and was not to be chewed or crushed.

For Microgynon (ethinylestradiol + levonorgestrel) alone (Reference treatment, R) and Microgynon (ethinylestradiol + levonorgestrel) + nintedanib (Test treatment, T) plasma concentrations of ethinylestradiol were measured 35 minutes (min) before and at 30 min, 1 hour (h), 1h 30 min, 2h, 3h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 11h 55 min, 23h 55 min, 47h 55 min after Microgynon administration alone or in combination with nintedanib.
Time Frame 35 minutes (min) before and at 30 min, 1 hour (h), 1h 30 min, 2h, 3h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 11h 55 min, 23h 55 min, 47h 55 min after microgynon administration alone or in combination with nintedanib.

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
Pharmacokinetic parameter analysis set (PKS): The PKS included all subjects in the treated set (TS) who provided at least 1 pharmacokinetic (PK) endpoint that had been defined as primary or secondary and was not excluded due to a protocol deviation relevant to the evaluation of PK or due to PK non-evaluability.
Arm/Group Title Microgynon Alone (Reference Treatment, R) Microgynon + Nintedanib (Test Treatment, T)
Arm/Group Description Period 1 consisted of a Microgynon alone treatment. All patients received a single dose of Microgynon: 1 tablet of 30 μg ethinylestradiol and 150 μg levonorgestrel at trial Day -3 (Reference treatment, R). The treatment was to be taken with food, swallowed whole with approximately 250 milliliters (mL) of water and was not to be chewed or crushed. Period 2 consisted of a Microgynon + nintedanib combination treatment. All patients received a continuous stable dose of nintedanib, soft gelatine capsule of 150 milligrams (mg) twice daily (bid) (300 mg total per day), starting from trial Day 1 over a period of at least 14 days to approximately 28 days. After at least 10 days of nintedanib treatment, all patients received a second single dose of Microgynon: 1 tablet of 30 μg ethinylestradiol and 150 μg levonorgestrel on trial Day 11 (Test treatment, T). The treatment was to be taken with food, swallowed whole with approximately 250 milliliters (mL) of water and was not to be chewed or crushed.

Adverse Events

Time Frame The adverse events collection time frame started at the day of first administration of the treatment till 2 days after for Microgynon alone, till 10 days after for nintedanib (before combination treatment), till 2 days after for Microgynon + nintedanib and as from 3 days after the combination treatment for nintedanib alone.
Adverse Event Reporting Description Treated set (TS): The TS included all subjects who had been enrolled and treated with at least 1 dose of study drug. The treated set was used for safety analyses.

All patients received a continuous stable dose of nintedanib, 150 mg twice daily (bid) (300 mg total per day), soft gelatine capsule from trial Day 1 for at least 10 consecutive days. The treatment was to be taken with food, swallowed whole with approximately 250 mL of water and was not to be chewed or crushed. Period 2 consisted of a Microgynon + nintedanib combination treatment. All patients received a continuous stable dose of nintedanib, soft gelatine capsule of 150 milligrams (mg) twice daily (bid) (300 mg total per day), starting from trial Day 1 over a period of at least 14 days to approximately 28 days. After at least 10 days of nintedanib treatment, all patients received a second single dose of Microgynon: 1 tablet of 30 μg ethinylestradiol and 150 μg levonorgestrel on trial Day 11 (Test treatment, T). The treatment was to be taken with food, swallowed whole with approximately 250 mL of water and was not to be chewed or crushed. All patients continued to receive a stable dose of nintedanib, 150 mg bid (300 mg total per day), soft gelatine capsule after the combination treatment on trial Days 12 and 13. The treatment was to be taken with food, swallowed whole with approximately 250 mL of water and was not to be chewed or crushed. AE's are considered to have occurred on nintedanib alone (after combination treatment) if occurring on Day 14 or later, i.e. at least 3 days after combination treatment.
