This is a randomized, multicenter, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effects of Seasonale, an extended-regimen oral contraceptive, on bone mineral density in adolescent females who have had their menstrual period but now have secondary amenorrhea and also have osteopenia. The duration of the study for each patient will be approximately two years.

  • Seasonale (levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol)Drug

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mean percent change in the lumbar spine bone mineral density at month 12

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Interim and 24 month mean percent change in lumbar spine bone mineral density

  2. Mean percent change in the proximal femur (hip) bone mineral density

  3. Mean percent change in total body bone mineral density

  4. Mean change in biochemical markers of bone resorption and bone formation

  5. Change in body weight

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Seasonale (levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol) in people with Osteopenia, run by Duramed Research.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Aug 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean percent change in the lumbar spine bone mineral density at month 12. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Aug 2013.
