Safer contraception? new pill aims to lower artery risks

NCT ID NCT07536763

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 3 trial compares a new combined oral contraceptive pill (estetrol-drospirenone) to a standard one (ethinylestradiol-levonorgestrel) in 98 women aged 18-49. Researchers will measure artery function, blood pressure, and metabolic markers over 12 months to see if the new pill has fewer vascular risks. The goal is to find a safer contraceptive option.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Estetrol-drospirenone (a new combined oral contraceptive pill)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could show that the new pill is safer for the heart and blood vessels than current options, offering a better choice for contraception.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial (98 participants) comparing two pills, not testing a cure. Results may not apply to all women, and the new pill could still carry risks.
