Eligibility Criteria

Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study:

18 Years to 45 Years

Sexes Eligible for Study:

Female

Accepts Healthy Volunteers:

Yes

Inclusion Criteria:

Females of childbearing potential, who:
have been taking for at least 3 months a monophasic combined oral contraceptives (COC) (21 repeat-days administration + 7-days washout) containing ethinyloestradiol 30µg and levonorgestrel 150 µg;
are willing to continue a monophasic COC containing ethinyloestradiol 30µg and levonorgestrel 150 µg from at least the commencement of their last normal period prior to the first dose of study medication;
are willing to continue a monophasic COC containing ethinyloestradiol 30µg and levonorgestrel 150 µg until 14 days after last treatment or until the first normal period (defined as normal for the woman, both in terms of duration and quantity of menses) after last treatment, whichever is the longest.
Women should have a regular menstrual cycle of approximately 4 weeks duration in the preceding 3 months.
Females of childbearing potential will be required to use other adequate contraception, in addition to the COC
Aged 18-45 years inclusive.
Healthy subjects, defined as individuals who are free from clinically significant illness or disease as determined by their medical and psychiatric history (including family), physical examination, laboratory studies, and other tests.
Body weight ≥ 45 kg for women and BMI within the range 18.5-29.9 kg/m2 inclusive;
Demonstrates no evidence of active disease, physical or significant mental impairment.
Self-administered Beck Depression Inventory II scale total score no greater than 9, and suicide question score of zero.
Non-smoker (abstinence from smoking for at least 6 months before the start of the study).
Agrees to abstain from ingesting caffeine or xanthine-containing products for 24 hours prior to the start of dosing until collection of the final pharmacokinetic sample.
Agree to abstain from alcohol for 24 hours prior to the start of dosing until collection of the final pharmacokinetic sample.

Subject who has a history of peptic ulcer disease (PUD) with known aetiology must provide documentation by a gastroenterologist of the aetiology of the PUD and that effective treatment was provided with full eradication of ulcers and symptoms. For such subjects appropriate steps must also have been taken to minimize reoccurrence of risk (i.e. if PUD was nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug [NSAID] induced, the subject should no longer be taking NSAID medications; if cause was H. pylori, the subject should have been appropriately treated). Subjects with a history of PUD >10 years ago, without recurrence, may be included after discussion with the medical monitor even if documentation from treating physician is not available or aetiology unclear.
