Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a study on a new low dose levonorgestrel contraceptive intrauterine systems (LCS). The purpose of the study is to investigate which of the 2 administered doses is the lowest effective intrauterine dose of Levonorgestrel (LNG) administered via the LCS for contraception during 3 years. The study was amended: the LCS16 arm will be extended up to 5 years
