Improving the Effectiveness of Orally Dosed Emergency Contraceptives in Obese Women - PK and PD of 30mg and 60mg UPA
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating UPA-ECx1 and UPA-ECx2 for Obesity and Contraception. Completed, enrolled 64 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Obese women are significantly more likely than their normal BMI counterparts to experience failure of orally-dosed emergency contraceptives. Our preliminary data provides evidence for testing a dose escalation strategy in an effort to provide improved efficacy from orally-dosed emergency contraceptives in obese women. More data is needed regarding emergency contraception containing ulipristal acetate. The overall project will be focused on both levonorgestrel (LNG) - and ulipristal acetate (UPA)-containing emergency contraception but this protocol registration is for the UPA aspect of the study procedures.
