Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to to determine pharmacodynamic effects of a vaginal ring delivering either 1,500 or 2,500 μg of CDB-2914 per day during 6 months of treatment on:

  1. follicular function and inhibition of ovulation

  2. the endometrium

  3. bleeding patterns; and also to assess safety including effects on the endometrium

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. The primary efficacy variable will be ovulation suppression measured by progesterone serum levels. [All women will use the assigned CVR for 6 months]

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Regular follow-up of follicle diameter will be made with USS to determine the timing of ovulation or, in the absence of ovulation, the fate of the dominant follicle. [All women will use the assigned CVR for 6 months]

  2. Clinical safety will be evaluated and the effects on the endometrium will be measured. [All women will use the assigned CVR for 6 months]

  • Past history of deep vein thrombophlebitis or thromboembolic disorders

  • Past or current cerebrovascular or coronary artery disease

  • Migraine with focal aura

  • Known or suspected carcinoma of the breast

  • Carcinoma of the endometrium or other known or suspected estrogen-dependent neoplasia

  • Undiagnosed abnormal genital bleeding

  • Cholestatic jaundice of pregnancy or jaundice with prior pill use

  • Hepatic adenomas or carcinomas

  • Known or suspected pregnancy

  • Desire to get pregnant during the study (through the use of reproductive technology for sterilized women or vasectomy reversal for sterilized partners)

  • Breastfeeding

  • Undiagnosed vaginal discharge or vaginal lesions or abnormalities

  • Elevated Prolactin levels (above laboratory normal values)

  • Women with a current abnormal Pap

  • In accordance with the Bethesda system of classification smear suggestive of high-grade pre-cancerous lesion(s), including HGSIL, are excluded

  • Women with LGSIL or ASCUS/high-risk HPV positive may participate if further evaluated with colposcopy and biopsy and no evidence of a lesion with a severity > CIN I is present and/or endocervical curettage is negative

  • Women with a biopsy finding of CIN I should have follow up for this finding per standard of care; women are excluded it treatment is indicated

  • In accordance with other Pap class systems

  • Women with high grade dysplasia are excluded

  • Women with low grade dysplasia or CIN I interpretation on Pap smear may participate based on Investigator discretion and provided there is appropriate follow up in accordance with local standards of care

  • Body mass index(BMI) > 29.0

  • Smoking in women who are 35 years and over or will be 35 years during the course of the trial; women < 35 years who smoke greater than 15 cigarettes per day must be evaluated by the PI for inclusion based on risk factors that would increase their risk for CVD and thromboembolism, e.g. lipid levels, glucose level, BP, BMI, family history of CVD at a young age

  • Women with severe cystoceles or rectoceles

  • Use within the past 2 months of any implanted hormonal contraceptives including Mirena [progestin containing intrauterine system (IUS)] or Norplant (subdermal implant delivering LNG) NOTE: Removal of implanted hormonal contraceptives must have been for personal reasons unrelated to the purpose of enrollment in this study

  • Current use of a non-hormone containing IUD. NOTE: Removal of an IUD must have been for personal reasons unrelated to the purpose of enrollment in this study
