Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
All Users Pregnancy Rates Based on Pearl Index (PI) Analyses for 28-Day Cycles and Broken Out by Subpopulations Defined by Participant Weight, Using the 7-Day Rule
Time Frame: thirteen 28-day cycles
Contraceptive failure is measured by the pregnancy rate calculated using the Pearl Index (PI) and the 7-day rule (a standardized process for calculating pregnancy rates). PI used all pregnancies, as determined by a positive urine and/or serum pregnancy test, except those for which the date of conception was before starting DR-102 or > 7 days after stopping the combination desogestrel/ethinyl estradiol (DSG/EE) or ethinyl estradiol (EE) treatment of DR-102.The PI is defined as number of contraceptive failures per 100 women-years of exposure: (100)*(total number of pregnancies)*(13)/(total number of 28-day cycles). Seven-day rule: a pregnancy was considered "on drug" if the date of conception was on or after the date of first dose of investigational product (IP), but no more than 7 days after the last tablet was taken; last tablet included combination hormonal or EE tablets.

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Deaths, and Discontinuations Due to AEs
Time Frame: Serious adverse Event (SAE) reporting period began upon signed informed consent and ended at the Final Study or the Early Withdrawal Visit. AEs were reported at each study visit (Weeks 0 through Week 53). Treatment duration with IP was up to one year.
AEs summarized are those that began or worsened after treatment with investigational product (IP). An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or clinical investigation subject participating in a clinical study and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment or clinical study. Severity of AEs was assessed as mild, moderate or severe. A severe AE was defined as incapacitating, with inability to perform usual activity. An AE was defined as treatment-related when there is reasonable possibility that the AE was caused by or attributed to the IP and/or a causal relationship cannot be ruled out. An SAE was defined as one that meets any one of the following criteria: fatal or life-threatening; requires or prolongs in-patient hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect; important medical event.
Serious adverse Event (SAE) reporting period began upon signed informed consent and ended at the Final Study or the Early Withdrawal Visit. AEs were reported at each study visit (Weeks 0 through Week 53). Treatment duration with IP was up to one year.
Endometrial Biopsy Classification Results for Endometrial Tissue/Glands at Baseline and Endpoint
Time Frame: Baseline (at Enrollment), Endpoint (Week 51/Early Withdrawal)
A subset of study participants agreed to have baseline and endpoint (Week 51/Early Withdrawal) endometrial biopsies. Results were provided for assessment of endometrial tissue/glands. Atrophic: scant or moderate amount of tissue, consists of tiny strips and wisps of surface endometrium or small tubular glands with scant or absent luminal secretions. Inactive: tubular glands lined by epithelial cells with mild pseudostratified and elongated nuclei. Proliferative: tubular or elongated glands lined by cells with elongated, dense, pseudostratified nuclei. Secretory: glands are tortuous or coiled with subnuclear vacuolation, secretion, and intraluminal tufts. Hyperplasia: proliferative type of glands showing glandular crowding with irregular shapes and sizes of enlargement, budding, and branching. Menstrual: glandular and stromal breakdown with fibrin thrombi in small vessels, condensed and collapsed stroma, and necrotic debris.
