Frequently asked questions about Ethinylestradiol/Gestodene

What is Ethinylestradiol/Gestodene?

Ethinylestradiol/Gestodene is a small molecule combination product being developed for contraception. It pairs ethinylestradiol with gestodene and is delivered as a transdermal contraceptive patch. Bayer AG is developing it, and it has been studied in Phase 3 clinical trials.

What is Ethinylestradiol/Gestodene used for?

Ethinylestradiol/Gestodene is used for contraception. Clinical trials have evaluated it for preventing pregnancy, with additional studies examining ovulation inhibition and endometrial effects. The product is a transdermal patch rather than an oral tablet.

How does Ethinylestradiol/Gestodene work?

Ethinylestradiol/Gestodene works by targeting ESR1, the estrogen receptor, as an agonist. Ethinylestradiol activates this receptor, while gestodene is a progestin component. Together they act on the endocrine system to inhibit ovulation and support contraceptive efficacy.

Who makes Ethinylestradiol/Gestodene?

Bayer AG is developing Ethinylestradiol/Gestodene. The company trades on the OTC market under the ticker BAYRY. Bayer has sponsored the clinical trial program for this transdermal contraceptive patch.

What phase is Ethinylestradiol/Gestodene in?

Ethinylestradiol/Gestodene is in Phase 3 development. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA. Five clinical trials have been completed, including Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, with no active trials currently listed.

What clinical trials is Ethinylestradiol/Gestodene in?

Ethinylestradiol/Gestodene has been studied in five completed trials. These include NCT00984789, a Phase 3 birth control patch study; NCT00914693, a Phase 3 Pearl Index study; and NCT00915915 and NCT00896571, both Phase 2 studies. Total enrollment across the program was 2,460 participants.

Is Ethinylestradiol/Gestodene the same as Miranova or Yarina?

Ethinylestradiol/Gestodene is also known by several alternative names, including BAY86-5016 and FC Patch Low BAY86-5016. Other listed names such as Miranova and Yarina refer to different ethinyl estradiol combinations, with levonorgestrel and drospirenone respectively, so they are not the same product.
