| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: - descriptive comparison of the effect of Test and Reference on bleeding pattern over 6 cycles of treatment - assessment of pregnancy rates under treatment with Test and Reference over 6 cycles of treatment - descriptive comparison of the effect of Test and Reference on haemostasis parameters over 6 cycles of treatment - descriptive characterisation of the safety (including local tolerability) of Test and Reference over 6 cycles of treatment ;Secondary Objective: - descriptive characterisation of the safety (including local tolerability) of Test and Reference over a total of 13 cycles of treatment (including 7 cycles of safety follow-up);Primary end point(s): bleeding pattern assessment of pregnancy rates haemostasis parameter (prothrombin fragment 1+2, APC resistance (ETP-based), APC resistance (APTT-based), d-dimer, factor VII, factor VIII, factor II, antithrombin, protein S activity, protein C activity, SHBG) safety (including local tolerability);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: bleeding pattern, pregnancy rates, haemostasis after 6 cycles safety (AEs, local tolerability) after 6 cycles | — |
