Recruitment details

Phase I study to investigate the effect of multiple oral doses of nintedanib on the single dose kinetics of a combination of ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel (Microgynon®) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Pre-assignment details

All patients were screened for eligibility to participate in the trial. Patients attended specialist sites to ensure that all subjects met all inclusion/exclusion criteria. Patients were not to be entered to trial treatment if any one of the specific entry criteria were not met.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
All Patients
Patients were orally administered one tablet of Microgynon® (combination of 30 microgram ethinylestradiol and 150 microgram levonorgestrel per tablet) after a standardised breakfast in Period 1. Patients were orally administered one tablet of Microgynon® after continuous 2x2 nintedanib soft gelatine capsule containing 100 mg per day (with dose reduction to 2x1 capsule containing 150 mg, if required) for at least 7 consecutive days in Period 2. Nintedanib was to be taken continuously throughout Period 2. In case of a temporary interruption of nintedanib intake, patients could receive Microgynon® in Period 2 only if they had taken nintedanib for at least 7 consecutive days before intake of Microgynon®. Same subjects were continued to Period 2, hence baseline characteristics are presented by Period 1.
