The study was conducted to assess the efficacy of a low-dose combined oral contraceptive (COC) containing drospirenone (drsp) 3 mg/ethinylestradiol (EE) 20 mcg administered for 24 days of active treatment followed by a 4-day hormone-free interval (24/4 regimen).
In this open-label uncontrolled study conducted in 50 European centers, healthy females aged 18-35 years with a body mass index of less than 30 kg/m(2) received drsp 3 mg/EE 20 mcg 24/4 over 13 cycles. The primary efficacy variable was the number of unintended pregnancies.
Five pregnancies occurred among 1101 women over 13,248 treatment cycles, resulting in a Pearl Index (PI) of 0.49 with an upper two-sided 95% CI limit of 1.14. Of these pregnancies, three were attributed to noncompliance with tablet use resulting in an adjusted PI for 'perfect use' of 0.22 (upper limit of two-sided 95% CI: 0.80) based on 11,755 cycles.
Drospirenone 3 mg/EE 20 mcg 24/4 is a highly effective COC in nonobese women.
本研究旨在评估一种低剂量复方口服避孕药(COC)的疗效,该避孕药含3毫克屈螺酮(drsp)/20微克炔雌醇(EE),进行24天的积极治疗,随后是4天的无激素间隔期(24/4方案)。
在欧洲50个中心进行的这项开放标签非对照研究中,18至35岁、体重指数小于30kg/m²的健康女性接受了13个周期的3毫克drsp/20微克EE 24/4方案治疗。主要疗效变量是意外怀孕的数量。
在13248个治疗周期中的1101名女性中发生了5次怀孕,Pearl指数(PI)为0.49,双侧95%CI上限为1.14。在这些怀孕中,3次归因于未按规定服药,基于11755个周期,“完美使用”的调整后PI为0.22(双侧95%CI上限:0.80)。
3毫克屈螺酮/20微克EE 24/4方案对于非肥胖女性是一种高效的复方口服避孕药。
