Lower Dose Depo Provera® Contraceptive Injection

June 12, 2018 updated by: FHI 360

A Study to Evaluate Suppression of Ovulation Following a Single Subcutaneous Administration of Various Doses of Depo-Provera CI

This is a randomized, partially-blinded, multi-center, parallel-group study to evaluate and compare the PD and PK of MPA after a single SC injection of either 45 mg/0.3 mL, 75 mg/0.5 mL or 105 mg/0.7 mL of Depo-Provera CI, and one cycle of Depo-subQ 104 use when injected in the abdomen, in women of reproductive age with confirmed ovulatory baseline cycle

Detailed Description

This is a randomized, partially-blinded, multi-center, parallel-group study to evaluate and compare the PD and PK of MPA after a single SC injection of either 45 mg/0.3 mL, 75 mg/0.5 mL or 105 mg/0.7 mL of Depo-Provera CI, and one cycle of Depo-subQ 104 use when injected in the abdomen, in women of reproductive age with confirmed ovulatory baseline cycle. Baseline ovulation will be confirmed in all women by measuring serum progesterone (P) approximately twice a week during the 2-3 weeks preceding expected menses. Between 48 and 60 participants (12-15 per group) with confirmed ovulation who meet other eligibility criteria will be enrolled and randomized to receive a single SC injection in the abdomen of 1 of 3 doses of Depo-Provera CI: 45 mg/0.3 mL, 75 mg/0.5 mL or 105 mg/0.7 mL or a single dose of Depo-subQ Provera (104 mg/0.65mL). Participants will be followed for 32 weeks (7.5 months) after the injection During the study participants will provide blood samples for MPA, P and estradiol (E2) prior to injection and then frequently at predefined time points through 7.5 months. In addition, for more accurate ascertainment of the PD response we will perform transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) and assess cervical mucus at predefined time points through 7.5 months. Information on adverse events and concomitant medications will be collected throughout the study. Information on acceptability will be collected at predefined time points through 7.5 months.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 40 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time to ovulation
Time Frame: 32 weeks after receiving drug
Time to ovulation indicated by time to reach rupture of the lead follicle based on transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) findings followed by serum progesterone level of >=4.7 ng/mL. The primary objective will be assessed by estimating the cumulative probability of return to ovulation through Month 7.5 from start of therapy in each test group based on the Kaplan-Meier product-limit method, with 95% confidence intervals derived using the complementary log-log transformation.
32 weeks after receiving drug

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure

Measurement of serum MPA concentrations
Time Frame: 32 weeks after receiving drug
Measure of Peak Concentrations (Cmax)
