Summary

This phase 3 study is testing a new contraceptive patch (MR-130A-01) that delivers a progestin-only hormone through the skin. About 1630 healthy women of childbearing potential will use the patch for 13 cycles to see how well it prevents pregnancy and how safe it is. The study is open-label and single-arm, meaning all participants receive the patch.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
progestin-only contraceptive patch (MR-130A-01)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a new, easy-to-use contraceptive option for women, especially those who cannot take estrogen.
What could go wrong
This is a single-arm study without a comparison group, so results may be less definitive. The patch may cause skin irritation or have lower effectiveness in some women.
