The subject has a history of a documented spontaneous singleton preterm delivery (hospital or clinic record, letter from healthcare provider, or birth certificate) from 20 0/7 to 35 0/7 weeks gestational age with the immediate preceding pregnancy or has a cervical length of 2.5 cm or less measured by transvaginal ultrasound with the current pregnancy. “Spontaneous preterm delivery" is a delivery (=65 years) no F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion criteria

The subject has active thrombophlebitis or a thromboembolic disorder, or a history of hormone-associated thrombophlebitis or thromboembolic disorders. 5. The subject has liver dysfunction or disease. 6. The subject has known or suspected malignancy of the breast. 7. The subject is currently participating in another investigational study or has participated in an investigational drug study within one month prior to screening for this study. 8. The subject’s current pregnancy is complicated by a major fetal anomaly or known chromosomal abnormality. 9. The subject has a uterine anatomic malformation (bicornuate uterus, septate uterus) 10.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: A reduction in the frequency of delivery at =32 0/7 weeks gestational age in subjects who have had a previous preterm delivery.;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy parameter in this study is the proportion of subjects with a delivery = 32 0/7 weeks gestational age in subjects who have had a previous preterm delivery. A supplemental parameter in this study is the frequency of significant morbidity in infants during the initial hospitalization after birth.;Secondary Objective: 1.Frequency of delivery at =32 0/7 weeks gestational age in subjects who have had a previous preterm delivery or only a short cervix (= 2.5 cm). 2. Frequency of delivery at = 28 0/7 weeks, = 35 0/7 weeks, and = 36 6/7 weeks gestation. 3. Frequency of delivery at = 32 0/7 weeks gestation in both compliant subjects and non-compliant subjects.
