  1. The FutureofContraception

  2. The Future of Contraception • Impact of Generics • Review of new methods • Current • In clinical trial or development • Contraception OTC

  3. The ImpactofGenerics

  4. GenericsWhat can be Patented? • The chemical • The combination (dose) • Administration regimen

  5. Generics • All current estrogens are off patent • Drospirenone is still on patent (Yasmin, YAZ) • New OCPs using other progestins = different doses or different administration regimens

  6. New OCPsExtended or No Cycle Seasonale 84/7 (150 g levonorgestrel + 30 g EE Seasonique 84/7 (Seasonale but 7 = 10 g EE) Lybrel continuous (90 g levonorgestrel + 20 g EE) Generic

  7. New OCPsExtended Cycle 24/4 LoEstrin 24 YAZ

  8. Extended-Cycle OC Trial: Regimens Regimens Formulation 150 g levonorgestrel/30 g ethinyl estradiol (SEASONALE) 150 g levonorgestrel/30 g ethinyl estradiol (Nordette) 100 g levonorgestrel/20 g ethinyl estradiol (SEASONALE Ultra-Lo) 100 g levonorgestrel/20 g ethinyl estradiol (Levlite) Extended 84/7 Conventional 21/7 Extended 84/7 Conventional 21/7 Anderson FD. Obstet Gynecol 2002;99(suppl)265; Poster presented at ACOG 50th Annual Clinical Meeting; May 4-8, 2002; Los Angeles, CA

  9. Extended-Cycle OC Trial: Summary • 91-day extended-cycle OC regimen is as effective a contraceptive as 28-day OC (>99% with perfect use); typical use efficacy lower than class labeling • Produces 4 cycles per year compared with 13 with 28-day cycle OC • Breakthrough bleeding comparable to 28-day cycle OC, especially by 3rd and 4th 91-day cycle

  10. Lybrel • 90 g levonorgestrel • 20 g ethinyl estradiol Take 1 pill every day No pill free interval Package insert

  11. Lybrel Efficacy comparable to standard OCPs

  12. Lybrel Month 6 48% no bleeding Month 12 59% no bleeding 20% spotting (no protection) Package insert

  22. Bone Mineral Density and ENG Rod • Head-to-head study of ENG rod with non-medicated IUD (copper) • No differences in BMD changes between 2 groups • Authors concluded that although ENG rod is a progestin-only method, no bone loss occurs during use Beerthuizen R, et al. Hum Reprod. 2000;15:118–122.

  25. Vaginal Ring Patient Management • Patient inserts ring and it is supposed to remain in the vagina for 3 weeks • Ring is removed during the fourth week, menstrual period should begin • If ring is removed or slips out of place for > 3 hrs, back-up contraception is necessary for 7 days

  26. Vaginal Ring Summary • Good cycle control • Irregular bleeding was rare (2.6% - 6.4% of evaluable cycles) • Withdrawal bleeding occurred (97.9% - 99.4% of evaluable cycles) • Compliance with the regimen was met in 90.8% of cycles Roumen FJ, et al. Hum Reprod. 2001;16(3):469-475.
