Trial Outcomes & Findings for Treatment of Menstrually Related Disorders With Continuous v. Interrupted Oral Contraceptives (NCT NCT00089414)
NCT ID: NCT00089414
Last Updated: 2017-08-25
Results Overview
The PMTS observer scales assess symptoms in ten different domains including irritability-hostility; tension; efficiency; dysphoria; moodiness; motor coordination; mental-cognitive functioning; eating habits; sexual drive and activity; physical symptoms and social impairment. They have been used to measure premenstrual symptom severity and response to treatment in several clinical trials and prevalence studies. Score ranges from no symptoms to severe symptoms on a scale of 0 to 6, with 0 being no symptoms and 6 being severely symptomatic.

Continuous Yasmin
Treatment arm # 1 consists of the continuous administration of Yasmin oral contraceptive (a combination of 30 µg of ethinyl estradiol and 3 mg of drospirenone) for 15 weeks starting on day 2 to 5 of the first menstrual cycle.
|
Interrupted Yasmin
Treatment arm # 2 (interrupted Yasmin administration) will be identical to arm # 1 with the exception that the continuous administration of Yasmin will be interrupted by the substitution of placebo for Yasmin for one week during weeks 3, 8, and 14 of the study. The women participating in this treatment arm will experience episodes of menstruation after Yasmin withdrawal (when they are on placebo).
|
Continuous Yasmin Plus Progesterone Antagonist
Yasmin oral contraceptive; CDB 2914 progesterone antagonist. Treatment arm # 3 is identical to treatment arm # 1 with the exception that the continuous administration of Yasmin will also include the administration of progesterone antagonist CDB-2914 during weeks 3, 8, and 14. Menses is anticipated to occur within 2-3 days of CDB-2914 administration. Women in treatment arms # 3 and # 1 will be exposed to continuous levels of Yasmin, but due to the local effects of the progesterone antagonist on the endometrium, women in arm # 3 will experience menses.

Baseline characteristics by cohort
| Measure |
Continuous OCP Plus Placebo
n=2 Participants
Treatment arm # 1 (extended ethinyl estradiol and progestin \[EE/P\]) consists of the continuous administration of 30 µg of ethinyl estradiol and 3 mg of drospirenone (Yasmin) for 15 weeks starting on day 2 to 5 of the first menstrual cycle.
|
Interrupted OC
n=1 Participants
Treatment arm # 2 (interrupted EE/P administration) will be identical to arm # 1 with the exception that the continuous administration of EE/P will be interrupted by the substitution of placebo for EE/P for one week during weeks 3, 8, and 14 of the study. The women participating in this treatment arm will experience episodes of menstruation after EE/P withdrawal (placebo).
|
Continuous OC Plus PR Antagonist
n=2 Participants
Yasmin oral contraceptive; CDB 2914 progesterone antagonist. Treatment arm # 3 (extended EE/P with menses) is identical to treatment arm # 1 except the progesterone antagonist CDB-2914 will be administered during weeks 3, 8, and 14. Menses is anticipated to occur within 2-3 days of CDB-2914 administration. As such, menses will occur in these women at approximately the same interval as experienced by those women in treatment arm # 2 due to the local effects of the progesterone receptor antagonist on the endometrium (lining of the uterus). Thus, women in treatment arms # 3 and # 1 will be exposed to continuous levels of ethinyl estradiol and progestin, but due to the local effects of the progesterone antagonist on the endometrium, women in arm # 3 will experience menses.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Every 2 weeks for 3 monthsPopulation: This study was terminated early due to confounding factors in design. Protocol terminated after receiving information from manufacturer (Pharma) that CDB-2914 crosses the blood-brain barrier, invalidating Arm #3 due to potential Central Nervous System effect of the compound on behavior.

The CGI was developed for use in NIMH-sponsored clinical trials to provide a brief, stand-alone assessment of the clinician's view of the patient's global functioning prior to and after initiating a study medication.1 The CGI provides an overall clinician-determined summary measure that takes into account all available information, including a knowledge of the patient's history, psychosocial circumstances, symptoms, behavior, and the impact of the symptoms on the patient's ability to function. The CGI actually comprises two companion one-item measures evaluating the following: (a) severity of psychopathology from 1 to 7 and (b) change from the initiation of treatment on a similar seven-point scale, with 1 being normal/more improved and 7 being severe/worse.

The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)is a 21-question multiple-choice self-report inventory, one of the most widely used instruments for measuring the severity of depression. Total scores are interpreted per these ranges: 0-9: indicates minimal depression 10-18: indicates mild depression 19-29: indicates moderate depression 30-63: indicates severe depression.
