Purpose
This is an open-label, multi-centre, comparative study in young, healthy, female volunteers of reproductive age.
Primary objective:
- To investigate the effect of 2 dosages of estetrol combined with P1 or P2, on vaginal bleeding patterns (cycle control), in comparison with a combined oral contraceptive containing estradiol valerate and dienogest
Secondary objectives:
- To investigate ovulation inhibition
- To investigate the effect on SHBG
- To assess pregnancy rate
- To evaluate subject satisfaction, dysmenorrhoea, acne, and body weight
- To investigate return of menstruation after treatment
- To evaluate general safety and acceptability

- Recording of vaginal bleeding events (diary) as a measure of Cycle control [ Time Frame: 6 cycles of 28 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Measurement of pregnandiol glucuronide in urine as a measure of Ovulation inhibition [ Time Frame: 6 cycles of 28 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Patient Reported Outcome questionnaire as a measure of Subject satisfaction [ Time Frame: 6 cycles of 28 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Contacts patient-investigator to document Return of menstruation [ Time Frame: for up to 1 year follow-up ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ](only in case the patient does not start up a new hormonal contraceptive method or in case of pregnancy wish)
- Recording of adverse events, physical examination and laboratory parameters as a measure of Safety and Tolerability [ Time Frame: up to 8 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Measurement of SHBG in blood samples to assess the effect of treatment on SHBG [ Time Frame: 6 cycles of 28 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Reporting of in-treatment pregnancies as a measure of pregnancy rate [ Time Frame: 6 cycles of 28 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
