About
The main objective of this trial is to demonstrate the contraceptive efficacy of LPRI424, Additional goals of the trial are to demonstrate the safety and tolerability of LPRI424.
Full description
This trial is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, non-controlled trial in postmenarcheal and premenopausal female subjects, including adolescents, between the ages of 13 and 45 who present to the clinic seeking contraception.
At screening, informed consent will be obtained and the screening procedures will be performed. After confirmation of the subject's eligibility, the subject will be provided with the investigational product and trained in the use of an electronic diary. Afterwards, the subjects will visit the clinical site on Day 20±3 of the 1st, 3rd, 6th and 9th cycles and on Day 29+3 of the 13th cycle. The last clinical site visit will occur 10-14 days after the 13th cycle visit.
The trial will include women who have never used hormonal contraceptives before consent (naïve users), women who have used hormonal contraceptives in the past but have had a contraceptive-free period before consent and a full menstrual cycle during the drug-free period (previous users) as well as women directly switching from another hormonal method (switchers).
Adverse events and safety information will be collected throughout the study.

Be able and willing to provide written informed consent or assent if the subject is adolescent, prior to undergoing any trial-related procedure.
Willing to use trial contraception for thirteen 28-day cycles.
Be willing to have intercourse in each cycle of the trial without the need to use back-up contraceptive.

Women ≥21 years of age with a Papanicolaou (pap) smear reading low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LGSIL) or higher at screening (or six months prior to screening date).

Venous thromboembolism - existing VTE (even under treatment with anticoagulants) or history of VTE* (e.g., deep venous thrombosis [DVT] or pulmonary embolism [PE])
*including a positive family history (VTE ever in a sibling or parent in particular at an age before 50 years)
Known hereditary or acquired predisposition for VTE, e.g., activated protein C (APC) resistance (including Factor V Leiden), antithrombin III deficiency, protein C deficiency, protein S deficiency, or prothrombin-related thrombophilia
Major surgery with prolonged periods of immobilization
High risk of venous thromboembolism due to the presence of multiple risk factors
Presence or risk of an arterial thromboembolism (ATE)
Arterial thromboembolism - existing ATE, history of ATE (e.g., myocardial infarction) or prodromal condition (e.g., angina pectoris)
Cerebrovascular disease - existing stroke, stroke or prodromal disorder (e.g., history of transient ischemic attack [TIA])
Known hereditary or acquired predisposition for ATE, e.g., hyperhomocysteinemia and antiphospholipid antibodies (anticardiolipin antibodies, lupus anticoagulants)
History of migraine with focal neurological symptoms
High risk of arterial thromboembolism due to multiple risk factors or to the presence of one serious risk factor such as diabetes mellitus with vascular damage, severe hypertension, severe dyslipoproteinemia, smokers or existing or previous pancreatitis, if it is associated with severe hypertriglyceridemia
Existing or previous liver diseases in which liver function has not returned to normal (also Dubin-Johnson and Rotor syndrome)
Existing or previous liver tumors
Known or suspected sex hormone-dependent malignant tumors (e.g., breast or endometrium)
Unexplained vaginal bleeding
Hypersensitivity to the active ingredients or any of the excipients

Long-term treatment (longer than seven consecutive days within a month prior to V1b) of any medication that might interfere with the efficacy of hormonal contraceptives, e.g.:
Prohibited medication including the regular intake or use of estrogens, progestogens, activated charcoal, microsomal enzyme-inducing drugs
Administration of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) or intake of co-medication containing hCG within a month prior to V1b).
Progestin-releasing intra-uterine device (IUD) or contraceptive implant received or in place within the last two months prior to consent/assent.
Planned regular concomitant use of barrier contraceptive methods, spermicides, IUDs or other contraceptive measures (except occasional use for safety reasons, e.g., to reduce risk of infection).
Evidence or history of clinically significant psychiatric illness, such as major depression or schizophrenia, that in the investigator's opinion contraindicates participation in the trialor suicide risk.
Planned surgery during the anticipated time of participation in this trial requiring withdrawal of an oral contraceptive.
Participation in another trial of an investigational drug or device parallel to the current trial or less than 90 days before consent/assent, or previous participation in the current trial and dispensed trial medication.
