Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Discontinuation rate by treatment group
at 12 months
Number of Bleeding Days
Last 90 days in Contraception Phase and first 360 days in Hormone-Replacement Therapy (HRT) Phase

Measured by using Subject Diaries (Subject Reported Data)

Number of Spotting Days
Last 90 days in Contraception Phase and first 360 days in HRT Phase

Measured by using Subject Diaries (Subject Reported Data)

Percentage of Participants With Successful Treatment
Last 90 days in Contraception Phase and first 360 days in HRT Phase

Definition of successful treatment: * Completion of HRT phase, and * Both, the number of bleeding days and the number of spotting days during HRT was equal to or less than during contraceptive phase, and * The number of bleeding days and the number of spotting days could be calculated for at least 3 out of the first 4 reference periods in HRT

Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
Arm 1EXPERIMENTAL -
Arm 2ACTIVE_COMPARATOR -
LNG IUSEXPERIMENTALLevonorgestrel Intrauterine System (LNG IUS) (initial in vitro release 20 µg/24h) intrauterine for minimum of 9 months and maximum of 60 months - 2 phases: a) Contraception Phase b) Hormone-Replacement Therapy (HRT) Phase. For outcome measures (vaginal bleeding variables), five 90-day Reference Periods were defined, which were used for comparison during statistical analysis: Reference Period -1 in Contraception Phase; Reference Periods 1-4 in HRT Phase. 90-day reference periods for analyzing vaginal bleeding data are defined by World Health Organization (WHO) guideline. Reference Period -1 is the last 90-day reference period that the subject had before starting the HRT. Reference Period 1 covers the first 90-days of the HRT phase, Reference Period 2 covers days 91 to 180, Reference Period 3 days 181 to 270, and Reference Period 4 days 271 to 360 of the HRT phase.

Frequently asked questions about LNG-IUS

What is LNG-IUS?

LNG-IUS is a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system developed by Bayer AG. It is an investigational small molecule in Phase 3 clinical development for two indications: contraception and menopause. LNG-IUS is also known as BAY 86-5028.

What is LNG-IUS used for?

LNG-IUS is being studied for contraception and for menopause, specifically as part of hormone replacement therapy. One Phase 3 trial evaluated its use as a contraceptive, and another assessed the transfer from contraceptive use to use as part of hormone replacement therapy.

Who makes LNG-IUS?

LNG-IUS is developed by Bayer AG, which trades under the ticker BAYRY. Bayer is the sponsor of the clinical development program for this levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system.

What phase is LNG-IUS in?

LNG-IUS is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is investigational and has not been approved. The program includes completed Phase 3 trials in contraception and menopause, with a combined enrollment of more than 1,100 participants across the two studies.

What clinical trials is LNG-IUS in?

LNG-IUS has been studied in two completed Phase 3 trials. NCT01397097 compared LNG-IUS with the etonogestrel subdermal implant Nexplanon in 766 participants for contraception. NCT00185458 assessed transfer from contraceptive use to hormone replacement therapy use in 394 menopausal participants.

Is LNG-IUS the same as BAY 86-5028?

Yes. LNG-IUS is also known as BAY 86-5028 and LNG IUS. These names refer to the same levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system developed by Bayer AG for contraception and menopause.
