About this trial
This study will measure the effects of multiple doses of AZD6234, AZD9550 and a combination of AZD9550 and AZD6234 given as injection(s) on pharmacokinetics (PK) of combined oral contraceptive (CoC) ethinyl estradiol (EE)/levonorgestrel (LEVO) in healthy female participants with obesity.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity (AUCinf) of EE and LEVO
To assess the effect of multiple doses of AZD6234, multiple doses of co-administered AZD9550 and AZD6234, and multiple doses of AZD9550 on the PK of single doses of CoC EE/LEVO.
Area under the concentration-time curve from time of dosing to the last measurable concentration (AUClast) of EE and LEVO
To assess the effect of multiple doses of AZD6234, multiple doses of co-administered AZD9550 and AZD6234, and multiple doses of AZD9550 on the PK of single doses of CoC EE/LEVO.
Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of EE and LEVO
To assess the effect of multiple doses of AZD6234, multiple doses of co-administered AZD9550 and AZD6234, and multiple doses of AZD9550 on the PK of single doses of CoC EE/LEVO.
Time to reach maximum drug concentration in plasma (tmax) of EE and LEVO
To assess the effect of multiple doses of AZD6234, multiple doses of co-administered AZD9550 and AZD6234, and multiple doses of AZD9550 on the PK of single doses of CoC EE/LEVO.
Secondary outcomes
Number of participants with adverse events (AEs)
