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.
