Trial Information

Summary: Would you like to try a new contraceptive pill?

A combined oral contraceptive pill is being studied in women throughout the world as part of a large medical research study.

For the first time, this new pill uses natural estrogen (just like the body’s own hormone) in the place of the synthetic alternative (ethinyl estradiol) that’s used in existing combined oral contraceptives. The progestogen hormone being used in the pill is also new in its use for contraception.

This study aims to confirm the efficacy and safety of the new pill, and will also examine other effects of this new combination of hormones, such as how they affect mood, sexuality and symptoms related to the menstrual period.

You may qualify to participate if you are:

  • A sexually active woman
  • Needing contraception and willing to use a pill for 12 months
  • At least 18 but not older than 50 years
  • In good physical and mental health

Patient Exclusion Criteria

  • Not willing to take oral contraception for 1 year.
