Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants With Ovulation Incidence, by Cycle
Day 1 of Treatment Cycle 1 through Day 28 of Treatment Cycle 3 (Up to ~92 days)

Ovulation was defined as having 2 or more consecutive progesterone concentrations \>16 nmol/L within 5 days, confirmed by ultrasound evidence of ovulation (follicular rupture or preceding presence of a follicle-like structure \>15 mm in size).

Percentage of Participants With Progesterone Concentrations >16 Nmol/L, by Cycle
Day 1 of Treatment Cycle 1 through Day 28 of Treatment Cycle 3 (Up to ~92 days)

Maximum progesterone (Max P) was defined as the maximum progesterone value. Ovulation was defined as 2 or more consecutive progesterone concentrations \>16 nmol/L within 5 days during the 3 treatment cycles, supported by ultrasound evidence of ovulation. The Max P values greater than 16 nmol/L are presented by vaginal ring group and cycle.

Percentage of Participants With Breakthrough Bleeding and/or Spotting During Cycle 3
Day 1 Cycle 3 through Day 28 Cycle 3 (Up to ~28 days)

Breakthrough bleeding and/or spotting (BTB-S) is defined as any bleeding or spotting episode that occurred during the expected non-bleeding period that was neither an early nor a continued withdrawal bleeding. Bleeding = any bloody vaginal discharge that required one or more sanitary pads or tampons per day; Spotting = any bloody vaginal discharge that required no sanitary pads or tampons per day.

Secondary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants With Absence of Withdrawal Bleeding and/or Spotting During Cycle 2
Day 1 Cycle 2 through Day 28 Cycle 2 (Up to ~28 days)
Intensity of Withdrawal Bleeding During Cycle 2
Day 1 Cycle 2 through Day 28 Cycle 2 (Up to ~28 days)

Frequently asked questions about nomegestrol and estradiol

What is nomegestrol and estradiol used for?

Nomegestrol and estradiol is being developed for contraception. It is a small molecule combination product studied in a Phase 2 dose-finding trial evaluating ovarian function and vaginal bleeding in a next-generation vaginal ring. The trial enrolled 666 healthy female volunteers aged 18 years and older.

What does nomegestrol and estradiol target?

Nomegestrol and estradiol targets the progesterone receptor (PGR) as an agonist. Nomegestrol acetate acts as a progestin agonist at PGR, while estradiol provides estrogenic activity. This combination supports contraceptive effects through hormonal regulation of the reproductive cycle.

Who is developing nomegestrol and estradiol?

Nomegestrol and estradiol is being developed by Organon & Co., which trades under the ticker OGN. Organon is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating this combination for contraception.

What phase is nomegestrol and estradiol in?

Nomegestrol and estradiol is in Phase 2 development. The completed Phase 2 trial was a dose-finding study assessing ovarian function and vaginal bleeding. It is an investigational product and has not been approved by the FDA for the studied indication.

What clinical trials is nomegestrol and estradiol in?

Nomegestrol and estradiol has been studied in one completed Phase 2 trial, NCT01709318, titled A Dose-Finding Study to Evaluate Ovarian Function and Vaginal Bleeding in Next Generation Rings. The trial was randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, and enrolled 666 healthy female volunteers.

Is nomegestrol and estradiol the same as nomegestrol acetate?

Nomegestrol and estradiol is also known as nomegestrol acetate and estradiol, and the progestin component is often abbreviated as NOMAC or referred to as nomegestrol. These names refer to the same combination product containing nomegestrol acetate and estradiol.
