Frequently asked questions about Microgynon

What is Microgynon used for?

Microgynon is an investigational small molecule being studied for drug interactions and pharmacokinetics. It is developed by Bayer AG. In clinical trials, it has been evaluated in healthy postmenopausal women and healthy female volunteers to assess its effects and how it is processed in the body.

Who makes Microgynon?

Bayer AG (ticker: BAYRY) is the developer of Microgynon. The company is conducting clinical research on this investigational drug, focusing on its pharmacokinetics and potential drug interactions.

What phase is Microgynon in?

Microgynon is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, meaning it is not yet approved for any medical use. All completed trials for Microgynon are Phase 1 studies.

What clinical trials is Microgynon in?

Microgynon has been studied in two completed Phase 1 trials. NCT02159326 examined drug interactions in healthy postmenopausal women, and NCT02170038 investigated the conversion of norethisterone to ethinylestradiol in healthy female volunteers. Both trials were conducted in Germany.

Is Microgynon the same as other contraceptive compounds?

Microgynon is a small molecule drug being studied for its pharmacokinetic properties. In one clinical trial, researchers investigated how the contraceptive compound norethisterone is converted within the body to ethinylestradiol, but Microgynon itself is the drug under investigation.
