Frequently asked questions about DR-1021

What is DR-1021 used for?

DR-1021 is an investigational small molecule being developed for contraception and for use in healthy volunteers. It is being studied as a low-dose 28-day oral contraceptive in women aged 18 years and older. The drug is in Phase 3 clinical development and is not yet approved by regulatory authorities.

Who makes DR-1021?

DR-1021 is being developed by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, a company publicly traded under the ticker symbol TEVA. Teva is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of DR-1021 as an oral contraceptive and in healthy female volunteers.

What phase is DR-1021 in?

DR-1021 is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by the FDA or other regulatory agencies. Two Phase 3 trials have been completed, including one large study with 1,347 participants evaluating the drug as a low-dose 28-day oral contraceptive.

What clinical trials is DR-1021 in?

DR-1021 has completed two Phase 3 clinical trials. NCT00362479 was an open-label study evaluating the safety and efficacy of a low-dose 28-day oral contraceptive in 1,347 women in the United States. NCT00544882 was a study in 61 healthy women to evaluate hormone patterns and ovarian follicular activity with DR-1021.

How does DR-1021 work?

DR-1021 is a small molecule being developed as an oral contraceptive. It is designed to be taken daily in a 28-day regimen to prevent pregnancy. The exact molecular target of DR-1021 has not been disclosed in available information, so its specific mechanism of action is not fully characterized in public data.
