Phase 1 Interventional AbbVie · NCT07502417

This will test whether repeated doses of ABBV-722 change blood levels of ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel in healthy adult female volunteers.

What this trial studies

This is a Phase 1, open-label pharmacokinetic interaction study in healthy adult female participants. Participants receive a single dose of ethinyl estradiol plus levonorgestrel while also receiving repeated doses of ABBV-722, with blood sampling to measure drug concentrations over time. Safety monitoring includes physical exams, vital signs, laboratory tests, and 12-lead ECGs, and participants must meet specified lab and health criteria. The protocol excludes recent tobacco/nicotine use, recent significant illness or surgery, recent exposure to ABBV-722, and requires avoidance of certain foods and beverages before dosing.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are healthy adult women who meet the protocol's lab, ECG, and medical criteria, are not recent tobacco/nicotine users, and can adhere to pre-visit restrictions and onsite visits in Grayslake, Illinois.

Not a fit: Individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have recent major illness or surgery, use tobacco/nicotine within 90 days, have abnormal screening labs/ECG, or cannot comply with dietary or visit requirements are unlikely to benefit from participation.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, results could clarify whether ABBV-722 affects hormonal contraceptive levels and guide safe coadministration recommendations.

How similar studies have performed: Pharmacokinetic interaction studies between new drugs and oral contraceptives are a common approach to identify meaningful interactions, but the effect of ABBV-722 specifically on these hormones has not been previously established and is being tested here.
