A study to evaluate pharmacokinetic profile, wearability and safety of AG200-15, transdermal delivery of levonorgestrel (LNG) and ethinyl estradiol (EE), under normal conditions and external conditions of heat, humidity, cold water and exercise.
Normal conditions - average daily living activities, Dry Sauna - 10 minutes at 168.8 - 179.6 degrees Fahrenheit, Whirlpool - 10 minutes at 102.2 - 105.8 degrees Fahrenheit, Treadmill - 20 - 30 minutes at 60-80% max heart rate, Cold Water - 5 - 15 minutes at 71.6 degrees Fahrenheit. There will be three treatment periods. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of the five conditions for the treatment period. The subject will be exposed daily to the condition assigned while wearing the patch. The study patch will be worn for a 7 day treatment period, followed by a 7 day washout period. The total duration of the study is 6 weeks.

Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC) (0-168) Profile of Levonorgestrel (LNG)
AUC(0-168) profile of LNG for each external condition including dry sauna, normal, whirlpool, cold water, and treadmill exercise. The blood sampling for the pharmacokinetic evaluations was performed at the following time points: 0 hour (immediately prior to dosing) and at 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours (1 day), 48 hours (2 days), 72 hours (3 days), 120 hours (5 days), 144 hours (6 days), and 168 hours (7 days) following application of the patch.
Time frame: 6 weeks
AUC(0-168) Profile of Ethinyl Estradiol (EE)
AUC(0-168) profile of EE for external condition including dry sauna, normal, whirlpool, cold water, and treadmill exercise. The blood sampling for the pharmacokinetic evaluations was performed at the following time points: 0 hour (immediately prior to dosing) and at 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours (1 day), 48 hours (2 days), 72 hours (3 days), 120 hours (5 days), 144 hours (6 days), and 168 hours (7 days) following application of the patch.
Time frame: 6 weeks
Steady-state Concentration (Css) (48-168) Profile of LNG
Css (48-168) profile of LNG for external condition including dry sauna, normal, whirlpool, cold water, and treadmill exercise.

Patch Adhesion
Patch adhesion scores by investigator evaluation by external condition; including dry sauna, whirlpool, treadmill exercise, normal, and cold water conditions; using the following scale: 0: \>90% adhered (essentially no lift off of the skin) 1. \>75% adhered but \<90% (some edges showing lift) 2. \>50% adhered but \<75% (half of system lifts off) 3. \<50% (\> half of system lifts off, but undetached) 4. patch completely detached Patches were assessed prior to patch removal.
Time frame: 6 weeks
