| Main Objective: The primary objective of the study is: • To demonstrate the contraceptive efficacy of the EE30/LNG150 84+7 extended-cycle regimen (provisional fantasy name: Lisa Lang) according to the requirements of the EMA “Guideline on clinical investigation of steroid contraceptives in women” (EMEA/CPMP/EWP/519/98 Rev 1).;Secondary Objective: 2.2 Secondary Objectives The “key secondary objective” of the study consists of the investigation of the superiority of the Lisa Lang extended-cycle regimen in comparison with the 21+7 conventional-cycle regimen (provisional fantasy name: Lisa Kurz) in reducing the total number of bleeding days over the study. Other secondary objectives of the study are: • To investigate and to compare the effect of the Lisa Lang extended-cycle regimen and the effect of the Lisa Kurz conventional-cycle regimen on bleeding patterns, cycle-associated complaints, acceptability of regimens. • To investigate general safety and tolerability of the Lisa Lang extended-cycle regimen and of the Lisa Kurz conventional-cycle regimen. • To follow-up the time to return of fertility up to one year in all subjects discontinuing oral contraceptive treatment, on cessation of the study medication, for wish of pregnancy.;Primary end point(s): Primary efficacy endpoint: • (unadjusted) Pearl Index ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After completion of the study. | — |
