Trial Outcomes & Findings for A 6-month Observational Study on Combined Oral Contraceptives and Body Weight in Pre-Menopausal Women With Overweight or Obesity (NCT NCT05061472)

NCT ID: NCT05061472

Last Updated: 2024-12-11

Results Overview

The investigators aim to recruit \~10 women per month for 6 months (N=24; n=12 COCs, n=12 NHCs; \>20% in each group of African American or Hispanic race/ethnicity) and assess feasibility of completion of outcome measures. The investigators hypothesize that at least 80% of participants will continue their chosen contraceptive method and complete outcome measures within a 2-week window at 6 months. The 6-month date was calculated as baseline outcome date + 182 days. A 2-week window was considered a +/- 14 days from the calculated 6-month outcome date.
