Brief summary

The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG20) in nulliparous and parous females of child-bearing potential who request long-term, reversible contraception for up to 10 years.

Detailed description

This is a Phase 3, randomized, open-label, multicenter evaluation of the efficacy of a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG20). The goals of the study include provision of information to understand efficacy and safety within the widest range of possible users of the LNG20. Typically, intrauterine contraceptive studies only include women 18-35 years of age for efficacy and safety, and place limits on parity and larger body size. Women outside of these characteristics also desire an effective intrauterine contraceptive. Accordingly, this study will include women who are both nulliparous and parous as well as women less than 18 years of age in the primary efficacy and safety analyses

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Pregnancies Per Year10 yearsNumber of pregnancies per year in each treatment arm.
Cumulative Pearl Index8 yearsThe Pearl Index (PI) is an estimate of the number of pregnancies per 100 women-years of contraceptive exposure. The Pearl Index is calculated as the number of on treatment pregnancies in the study divided by the total number of complete 28-day cycles of use in the study multiplied by 1,300 (13 cycles/yr x 100 years). Cycles where other birth control methods were used were excluded from this measure. The Pearl Index for MIRENA was not a pre-specified primary outcome measure and is therefore not included. There is only 8 years of data due to the early termination of the study.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Continuation Rates10 YearsThe rate of continuation of usage over time.
Return of Menses After Discontinuation5 monthsSubjects who discontinued from the trial and who were not pregnant or did not start a hormonal contraceptive were followed to assess the return of menses after IUS removal. If after three months menses had not occurred, the subject was to be evaluated for the cause of their secondary amenorrhea and continued to be followed monthly until the diagnosis was established.
Return to Fertility After Discontinuation12 monthsSubjects who discontinued from the trial and desired pregnancy were followed for up to 12 months to assess fertility after IUS removal.
Mean Plasma Levonorgestrel Concentrations (pg/mL) for Subjects in the PK Substudy5 YearsThe Mean Plasma Pharmacokinetics of LNG in a Subset of Subjects through 60 Months of Use. Non-obese was defined as a BMI less than 30 kg/m\^2. Obese was defined as a BMI of 30 kg/m\^2 or higher.
Plasma LNG Levels in All Subjects With Continuing Use From Month 36 Through Month 120month 36 through 120The Plasma LNG Levels in All Subjects With Continuing Use From Month 36 Through Month 120.
Changes in Endometrial Thickness Based on Transvaginal Ultrasonography at One Year, Five Years and Ten Years10 YearsThe Changes in Endometrial Thickness Based on Transvaginal Ultrasonography at One Year, Five Years and Ten Years.
Safety and Tolerability10 YearsThe safety and tolerability based on the report of adverse events and serious adverse events
Incidence of Bleeding and/or Spotting8 YearsFrom data based on the daily diary log, number of IUS subjects experiencing some bleeding and/or spotting.
Cumulative Pregnancy Rates8 yearsLife table methods were used to estimate the cumulative pregnancy rate after each year. Confirmed pregnancy was the failure outcome and the corresponding time to pregnancy was the failure time. Time to pregnancy was calculated as the date a confirmed pregnancy was initially reported minus the date of IUS placement plus one.
Expulsion Rate10 yearsThe expulsion rate includes the number of subjects with reported expulsions or removal of the IUS, regardless of reason.
Change in Hemoglobin Values10 yearsMeasuring the change in hemoglobin results from the screening visit and following 12 months, 60 months and 120 months of product use.
Discontinuation for Safety Reasons10 yearsTime to event was calculated as the date of continuation/expulsion/removal minus the date of IUS placement plus one. Subjects without a continuation/expulsion/removal were censored at the last contact date and failure time was calculated as the last contact date minus the date of IUS placement plus one.
Ex Vivo Analysis of IUSs That Are Removed or Expelled During the Study8 YearsAnalysis of residual LNG content from an appropriate sampling of IUSs that were removed or expelled during the study was to be summarized and plotted as a function of time of removal/expulsion. Residual drug content analysis was performed on a sampling of removed or expelled samples to determine the average in vivo drug release rate during the time the samples were implanted. All available samples were sorted and grouped by duration of use in 90-day intervals. The drug content and time of exposure of the samples analyzed were fit by an exponential regression to calculate the initial and average in vivo release rate over the duration of the study. NOTE: Year = 360 day intervals
Distribution of Bleeding Amenorrhea by 90 Day Interval8 YearsThe incidence of diary reported bleeding and/or spotting by 90-day interval, as an assessment of IUS-induced amenorrhea, is summarized as the number of subjects reporting no bleeding and/or spotting.

Pre-assignment details

Enrollment into the Mirena arm was stopped when it was determined that sufficient comparative safety data for LILETTA vs. Mirena was already available; thereafter, subjects were only assigned to LILETTA. The data cutoff date of 05 April 2021 was chosen for all LILETTA subjects as it coincides with all subjects completing through Year 8 of use (intended duration of use for the product). All Mirena participants were discontinued by the end of Year 5.

Cumulative Pregnancy Rates

Life table methods were used to estimate the cumulative pregnancy rate after each year. Confirmed pregnancy was the failure outcome and the corresponding time to pregnancy was the failure time. Time to pregnancy was calculated as the date a confirmed pregnancy was initially reported minus the date of IUS placement plus one.

Time frame: 8 years

Population: Note: a year is considered 364 days (13 women-months). Only the efficacy population (LNG20 16-35 years old) was evaluated, per protocol.

Ex Vivo Analysis of IUSs That Are Removed or Expelled During the Study

Analysis of residual LNG content from an appropriate sampling of IUSs that were removed or expelled during the study was to be summarized and plotted as a function of time of removal/expulsion. Residual drug content analysis was performed on a sampling of removed or expelled samples to determine the average in vivo drug release rate during the time the samples were implanted. All available samples were sorted and grouped by duration of use in 90-day intervals. The drug content and time of exposure of the samples analyzed were fit by an exponential regression to calculate the initial and average in vivo release rate over the duration of the study. NOTE: Year = 360 day intervals

Time frame: 8 Years

Population: In this substudy, a sampling of removed or expelled LNG20 IUSs were evaluated for residual drug content from Day 1 through Year 8. The total number of IUSs analyzed was 130 units from a total of 130 participants. All IUSs came from participants in the LNG20 (16-35 Yr Olds) arm. IUSs from participants in the Mirena arm were not evaluated in this substudy.

Return of Menses After Discontinuation

Subjects who discontinued from the trial and who were not pregnant or did not start a hormonal contraceptive were followed to assess the return of menses after IUS removal. If after three months menses had not occurred, the subject was to be evaluated for the cause of their secondary amenorrhea and continued to be followed monthly until the diagnosis was established.

Time frame: 5 months

Population: Only those subjects who completed this evaluation are included.
