A Drug-drug Interaction Trial in Healthy Female Participants to Investigate the Effect of Aprocitentan on Combined Hormonal Contraceptives

The main objective of the trial is to evaluate the influence of aprocitentan at steady-state on the single-dose pharmacokinetics (PK) of combined oral contraceptives.

19 healthy female participants will be enrolled to have at least 16 evaluable participants.

Following a screening period (from full signature of the informed consent form \[ICF\] to enrollment; 10 to 28 days prior to first trial intervention administration), eligible participants (meeting all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria) will be enrolled in the trial to participate in two sequential trial periods, Trial Period A and Trial Period B, with an in-between period of at least 7 days. Trial Period B will be split into two sequential sub-periods, Trial Period B1 and Trial Period B2.

* Trial Period A: Starts with a single administration of trial intervention on Day 1 and ends with an End-of-Trial Period (EoTP) assessment on Day 5. Trial intervention administration on Day 1 will be followed by a 96-hour observation period for safety monitoring and PK sampling. * Trial Period B1: Trial intervention will be administered from Day 1 to Day 9, with assessments for PK sampling and safety monitoring performed throughout. * Trial Period B2: Starts with administration of trial intervention on Day 10 and ends with an EoTP assessment on Day 14. Trial intervention will be administered from Day 10 to Day 13, with assessments for PK sampling and safety monitoring performed throughout.

Trial participation of an individual participant ends with the completion of the Participant Last Visit, which will be performed 10-14 days after the last administration of trial intervention. A post-trial safety follow up is performed 30-40 days after last administration of trial intervention.
