Long-Term Evaluation of Scapular-Inserted Etonogestrel Contraceptive Implants
This study is looking at how well the etonogestrel contraceptive implant works and its side effects when it's placed in a new spot: over your shoulder blade (scapula). Researchers want to see how much of the drug is in your body over time and what side effects you might experience. You can join if you are a woman between 18 and 45 years old, in good general health, and willing to follow study procedures. The study will measure the levels of etonogestrel in your blood every six months for up to three years to see if this new insertion site is effective. The current recruitment status is unclear, and the study plans to enroll 62 participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific treatment. It aims to enroll 62 women.
- What's involved
- You would have the etonogestrel contraceptive implant inserted over your shoulder blade. Your blood will be tested every 6 months for up to 36 months (3 years).
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- You will be followed for up to 36 months (3 years) after the implant insertion.
