What's being measured
Primary outcomes are the specific endpoints the trial is designed to prove or disprove.
-
Relative Change in Plasma Oxytocin
Time frame: From baseline (0 min) to 300 minutes post-dose.
The primary endpoint is the relative change in plasma oxytocin (OXT) concentrations (pg/mL respectively pM) from baseline to the maximum observed value within 300 minutes after administration of oral estradiol valerate (EV) or ethinylestradiol (EE). Baseline is defined as 100% of the initial pre-dose concentration. -
Relative Change in Neurophysin-1
Time frame: From baseline (0 min) to 300 minutes post-dose.
The primary endpoint is the relative change in neurophysin-1 (NP-1) concentrations (pg/mL respectively pM) from baseline to the maximum observed value within 300 minutes after administration of oral estradiol valerate (EV) or ethinylestradiol (EE). Baseline is defined as 100% of the initial pre-dose concentration.
Sponsor's own description
The PHOENIX study aims to investigate whether oral estradiol valerate (EV) and ethinylestradiol (EE) can stimulate oxytocin (OXT) and neurophysin-1 (NP-1) release in humans. The goal is to assess their potential as a safe diagnostic stimulation test for oxytocin deficiency, particularly in patients with arginine vasopressin (AVP) deficiency.
