Effects of SH T00658ID on Libido

Multi-center, Double-blind, Randomized Study to Investigate the Impact of a Sequential Oral Contraceptive Containing Estradiol Valerate and Dienogest (SH T00658ID) Compared to a Monophasic Contraceptive Containing Ethinylestradiol and Levonorgestrel (Microgynon) Over 6 Treatment Cycles on Alleviating Complaints of Reduced Libido in Women With Acquired Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) Associated With Oral Contraceptive Use

The aim of the study is to investigate whether women on oral contraceptives (OCs) suffering from acquired OC-associated female sexual dysfunction (FSD) for at least 3 months but no longer than one year will express the same level of sexual distress when taking SH T00658ID compared to Microgynon, the usual OC prescribed for women with OC-associated FSD.

Inclusion Criteria:

• OC-associated female sexual dysfunction (FSD) for at least 3 months but no longer than one year and willingness to continue OC use but to switch to SH T00658ID or Microgynon
• Combined score of the sexual desire and arousal domains of the FSFI questionnaire of 18 or below at screening and baseline

Exclusion Criteria:

• Contraindications for oral contraceptive use, for example but not limited to: presence or history of venous or arterial thrombotic / thromboembolic events, hypertension, presence or history of severe hepatic disease
