Receives: Drug: Sino-implant (II)

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the contraceptive effectiveness of Sino-implant (II) during 4 years of use.

    Pearl Index (number of pregnancies per 100 woman-years) over 4 years of use of Sino-implant (II).

    Measured: 4 years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Evaluate the contraceptive effectiveness of Sino-implant (II) during 5 years of use

    Pearl Index over 5 years of use of Sino-implant (II) ; continuation \& reasons for discontinuation in both groups.

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Compare concentrations of levonorgestrel through 5 years after insertion of Sino-implant (II) and Jadelle

    annual and cumulative probability of pregnancy during 5 years of use of Sino-implant (II);

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Compare pharmacokinetic profiles of Sino-implant (II) and Jadelle during the first 6 months of use in a sub-group of users undergoing intensive levonorgestrel sampling

    The PK profile of LNG during the first 6 months post-insertion including the following parameters in a sub-group of users undergoing intensive LNG sampling:

    Mean LNG concentrations at 6 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 7 days and 90 days post-insertion Concentration-time profiles of LNG (individual and pooled) Maximal concentration (Cmax) and time to maximal concentration (Tmax) AUC0-7 days, AUC0-1mon, AUC0-3mon and AUC0-6mon

    Measured: 5 years

  4. Compare the safety and acceptability of Sino-implant (II) and Jadelle during 5 years of use

    Adverse event rates in both treatment groups Annual and cumulative probability of early discontinuation in both treatment groups Reasons for discontinuation in both treatment groups Responses on acceptability questionnaires in both treatment groups

    Measured: 5 years

  5. Compare free levonorgestrel index through 5 years after insertion of Sino-implant (II) and Jadelle in a sub-group of approximately 150 users.

    free levonorgestrel index, estimated as the ratio of levonorgestrel to sex hormone binding globulin at various point during 5 years of product use in a sub-group of approximately 150 women.

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Jadelle and Sino-implant (II) in people with Contraception, run by FHI 360 at 1 site in Dominican Republic.

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 10 inclusion and 12 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Sep 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Dominican Republic. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Evaluate the contraceptive effectiveness of Sino-implant (II) during 4 years of use. (time frame: 4 years). 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 21 Sep 2017.
