Brief summary

Study of the efficacy of a contraceptive patch in 2100 healthy women for up to one year.

Detailed description

AG200-15 is used in a 4-week (28-day) treatment cycle: a patch is applied and replaced every 7 days for 3 consecutive weeks, followed by a 1-week patch-free period.

Contraception Efficacy of AG200-15 in Subjects ≤ 35 Years of Age Regardless of BMI, Intent-to-treat (ITT) Dataset.1 yearThe Pearl Index will serve as the primary contraceptive efficacy endpoint for evaluation of pregnancy rates for the study. Pearl Index is the number of on-therapy pregnancies times 1300 divided by the number of 28-day on-therapy cycles and is an estimate of the number of pregnancies per 100 woman-years of product use.

Outcome results

Primary

Contraception Efficacy of AG200-15 in Subjects ≤ 35 Years of Age Regardless of BMI, Intent-to-treat (ITT) Dataset.

The Pearl Index will serve as the primary contraceptive efficacy endpoint for evaluation of pregnancy rates for the study. Pearl Index is the number of on-therapy pregnancies times 1300 divided by the number of 28-day on-therapy cycles and is an estimate of the number of pregnancies per 100 woman-years of product use.

Time frame: 1 year

Population: ITT population: all complete or incomplete on-therapy cycles in which intercourse occurred and no back-up contraception was used.
