|---|---|
| Main Objective: To demonstrate that the pregnancy rate observed after taking CDB-2914 30 mg within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse is statistically significantly lower than the expected pregnancy rate in the absence of emergency contraception.;Secondary Objective: - To demonstrate that the pregnancy rate observed after taking CDB-2914 30 mg within 72 hours/120 hours of unprotected intercourse is statistically significantly lower than 4% considered as a clinical irrelevance threshold -To demonstrate the non-inferiority of CDB-2914 30 mg versus LNG1.5 mg as emergency contraception within 72 hours/120 hours of unprotected intercourse; - To demonstrate that the pregnancy rate observed after taking CDB-2914 30mg within 120 hours of unprotected intercourse is statistically significantly lower than the expected pregnancy rate in the absence of emergency contraception; - To compare the trend in pregnancy rates over time since intercourse of CDB-2914 30 mg to LNG 1.5mg; - To compare the contraceptive effectiveness (prevented fraction) between treatment groups; - To assess the impact of CDB-2914 30mg on menstrual cycle compared to LNG; - To evaluate safety and tolerability profile of CDB-2914 30mg in comparison to LNG 1.5 mg. ;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy parameter is the pregnancy rate calculated as the number of subjects being pregnant after the intake of emergency contraception, divided by the number of subjects having received emergency contraception. Subjects with pregnancies not detected at screening but identified as having started before emergency contraception intake (as measured by pre-treatment serum bêta- hCG level assayed once pregnancy diagnosis has been made and gestational age confirmed by transvaginal ultrasound) or as “not compatible” with an emergency contraception failure, based on independent evaluation will be excluded from efficacy analysis. | — |
