Clinical Trial Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the etonogestrel (ENG) contraceptive implant during participants' fourth and fifth years of use when used as the only method of contraception. The ENG implant is currently approved for a 3-year duration, and this study aims to confirm available evidence suggesting that the ENG implant remains highly effective when used up to 5 years.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Pregnancy Rate (Pearl Index) for At Risk Cycles During Extended-Duration Use The Pearl Index is expressed as the number of on-treatment pregnancies per 100 woman-years of exposure. An on-treatment pregnancy is defined as a confirmed pregnancy with an estimated date of conception 36 months to 60 months since the date of implant insertion. Exposure in 100 woman-years is equal to the number of cycles of use/1300, and one woman-year is defined as a period of 13 treatment cycles, each 28 days long. Only "at risk" cycles for conception will be included in this Pearl Index calculation. An at risk cycle is defined as a cycle during which participants with ENG implant had affirmed heterosexual intercourse without the use of additional contraception. Up to 24 months
Primary Pregnancy Rate (Pearl Index) for Alternative At Risk Cycles During Extended-Duration Use The Pearl Index is expressed as the number of on-treatment pregnancies per 100 woman-years of exposure. An on-treatment pregnancy is defined as a confirmed pregnancy conceived with an estimated date of conception 36 months to 60 months since the date of implant insertion. Exposure in 100 woman-years is equal to the number of cycles of use/1300, and one woman-year is defined as a period of 13 treatment cycles, each 28 days long. Only "alternative at risk" cycles will be included in this Pearl Index calculation. An alternative at risk cycle is defined as a cycle in which participants with ENG implant did not use additional contraception, but without the requirement for affirmed heterosexual intercourse. Up to 24 months
Primary Number of Participants Who Experience One or More Adverse Events During Extended-Duration Use An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. Up to approximately 27 months
Primary Number of Participants Who Discontinue Treatment (Implant Removed) Due to an Adverse Event During Extended-Duration Use An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. Up to approximately 24 months
Secondary Pregnancy Rate (Pearl Index) for At Risk Cycles During Year 4 of Implant Use Pearl Index will be calculated as the number of on-treatment pregnancies per 100 woman-years of exposure. Exposure in 100 woman-years is equal to the number of cycles of use/1300, and one woman-year is defined as a period of 13 treatment cycles, each 28 days long. Only "at risk" cycles for conception will be included in this Pearl Index calculation. An at risk cycle is defined as a cycle during which participants with ENG implant had affirmed heterosexual intercourse without the use of additional contraception. Up to 12 months
Secondary Pregnancy Rate (Pearl Index) for At Risk Cycles During Year 5 of Implant Use Pearl Index will be calculated as the number of on-treatment pregnancies per 100 woman-years of exposure. Exposure in 100 woman-years is equal to the number of cycles of use/1300, and one woman-year is defined as a period of 13 treatment cycles, each 28 days long. Only "at risk" cycles for conception will be included in this Pearl Index calculation. An at risk cycle is defined as a cycle during which participants with ENG implant had affirmed heterosexual intercourse without the use of additional contraception. Up to 12 months
Secondary Cumulative Pregnancy Rate During 5 Years of Implant Use Cumulative on-treatment pregnancy rate will be calculated based on life table analysis over 5 years of implant use. Up to 60 months (From 3 years prior to study entry to 2 years after study entry)
Secondary Cumulative Pregnancy Rate During 4 Years of Implant Use Cumulative on-treatment pregnancy rate will be calculated based on life table analysis over 4 years of implant use. Up to 48 months (From 3 years prior to study entry to 1 year after study entry)
Secondary Pregnancy Rate (Pearl Index) for At Risk Cycles During 5 Years of Implant Use Pearl Index will be calculated as the number of on-treatment pregnancies per 100 woman-years of exposure. Exposure in 100 woman-years is equal to the number of cycles of use/1300, and one woman-year is defined as a period of 13 treatment cycles, each 28 days long. Only "at risk" cycles for conception will be included in this Pearl Index calculation. An at risk cycle is defined as a cycle during which participants with ENG implant had affirmed heterosexual intercourse without the use of additional contraception. The number of at-risk cycles of use for each of the 3 years prior to study entry will be estimated. Up to 60 months (From 3 years prior to study entry to 2 years after study entry)
Secondary Pregnancy Rate (Pearl Index) for Alternative At Risk Cycles During 5 Years of Implant Use Pearl Index will be calculated as the number of on-treatment pregnancies per 100 woman-years of exposure. Exposure in 100 woman-years is equal to the number of cycles of use/1300, and one woman-year is defined as a period of 13 treatment cycles, each 28 days long. Only "alternative at risk" cycles will be included in this Pearl Index calculation. An alternative at risk cycle is defined as a cycle in which participants with ENG implant did not use additional contraception, but without the requirement for affirmed heterosexual intercourse. The number of alternative at risk cycles of use for each of the 3 years prior to study entry will be estimated. Up to 60 months (From 3 years prior to study entry to 2 years after study entry)
