Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Female volunteers, aged 18-35 years old who met all Inclusion and no Exclusion Criteria, were enrolled in this study. All participants were current users of a standard 21/7 oral contraceptive regimen (21 days of combination progestin/estrogen followed by 7 days placebo) and had completed at least one 28-day cycle prior to beginning the Cycle 1 baseline cycle. After completing screening, all enrolled participants continued to receive the same regimen of 150 μg DSG /20 μg EE combination pills once daily for 21 days followed by placebo once daily for 7 days during Cycle 1 (the Run-In phase). Following completion of Cycle 1, participants were randomly assigned to receive either DR-1021 or Mircette during Cycle 2. All participants who completed Cycle 2 were to receive Kariva during Cycle 3; however, participants were only followed for the first 21 days of this 28-day regimen, after which they were considered study completers.
