"On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains."

*Terms & Conditions apply.
Simbec-Orion Clinical Pharmacology will soon be running a study to investigate a new study drug being developed as a potential treatment for a condition known as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), which is a neurological condition in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the protective lining surrounding nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord causing damage and inflammation.
The main objectives of the study are as follows:
If you participate in this study, you will be required to stay at the Simbec-Orion clinical unit for a maximum period of 22 days (21 overnight stays) and complete a post study follow-up visit on Day 30 (a minimum of 10 days following the last dose of study drug). Therefore, you should ensure that you are able to commit to completing all visits before agreeing to participate in this study.
Purpose and Timeline
This study is classed as a drug-drug interaction study and will consist of up to 22 healthy female participants. This means that participants will be given a drug (combined oral contraceptive pill) which has known effects and a known method of breakdown in the body and also given the study drug to determine if there is any interaction between the drugs in the body and whether administration of the study drug affects the safety, tolerability and levels of the pill in the blood.
On Days 5-16, participants will take once daily doses of the study drug before taking a single dose of both the study drug and combined oral contraceptive pill together on Day 17 with the final dose of the study drug to be administered on Day 18. Each participant will receive the study drug and the combined oral contraceptive pill in the form of coated tablets which participants will swallow with water.
