About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Open-label, Multi-center, Single Arm Study to Assess Contraceptive Efficacy and Safety of the Etonogestrel (MK-8415) Implant During Extended Use From 3 Years After Insertion in Females 35 Years of Age or Younger

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.

What is being measured

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

  1. 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.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  2. 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.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  3. 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.

    Measured: Up to approximately 27 months

  4. 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.

    Measured: Up to approximately 24 months

Secondary outcomes (16)
  1. 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.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  2. 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.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  3. 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.

    Measured: Up to 60 months (From 3 years prior to study entry to 2 years after study entry)

  4. 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.

    Measured: Up to 48 months (From 3 years prior to study entry to 1 year after study entry)

  5. 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.

    Measured: Up to 60 months (From 3 years prior to study entry to 2 years after study entry)

  6. 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.

    Measured: Up to 60 months (From 3 years prior to study entry to 2 years after study entry)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Radiopaque Etonogestrel (ENG) Implant in people with Contraception, run by Organon and Co at 67 sites in 2 countries.

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 7 inclusion and 25 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 18 Feb 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 67 sites in United States, Puerto Rico. 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.

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 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?

Pregnancy Rate (Pearl Index) for At Risk Cycles During Extended-Duration Use (time frame: Up to 24 months). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 Feb 2026.
