Definitions
- the menstrual cycle In the majority of woman, the menstrual cycle lasts about 25 to 30 days.
- the menstrual cycle can be divided into two phases: (1) the follicular phase, at which time new follicles are recruited and their growth and development eventually lead to a single mature follicle; (2) the luteal phase, at which time the matured oocyte has been released and a new structure, the corpus luteum, is formed.
- the follicular phase and the luteal phase In a typical cycle of 28 days, the follicular phase and the luteal phase are of equal length.
- the endometrial tissue responds to the changes of hormones such as, estrogen and progestin.
- Menstruation signifies the beginning of a new menstrual cycle and the first day of menses is, by definition, counted as DAY ONE.
- the superficial layers of the endometrium are sloughed because the demise of the corpus luteum is associated with a loss of progesterone secretion in the non- fertile menstrual cycle.
- Ovarian follicular maturation occurs resulting in a rise in the circulating levels of estrogen, which in turn leads to new endometrial proliferation.
- the dominant ovarian follicle undergoes ovulation, which is induced by the gonadotropin surge, generally between menstrual cycle days 12 to 16 and is converted from a predominantly estrogen source to a predominantly progesterone source (the corpus luteum).
- the increasing level of progesterone in the uterus converts the endometrium from a proliferative phase to a secretory phase in which tissue proliferation has promptly abated, leading to the formation of endometrial glands or organs.
- the secretory endometrium and the conceptus interact to bring about implantation, beginning about 6 to 8 days after fertilization.
- a process call "implantation" may occur, resulting in the establishment of an ongoing pregnancy.
- the embryo will attach and burrow into the secretory endometrium and begin to produce human chorionic gonadotropin.
- the human chorionic gonadotropin in turn stimulates corpus luteum function and maintains an elevated progesterone level.
- menses does not occur in the fertile menstrual cycle.
- Pregnancy is then established.
- the waning level of progesterone in the blood causes the endometrial tissue to slough. This starts a subsequent menstrual cycle.
- estradiol is known to decrease gonadotropin release, such as follicle-stimulation hormone, by feedback inhibition. By the negative feedback loop, estradiol can also inhibit luteinizing hormone secretion.
- estrogen may also can cause a positive effect for the releasing of the gonadotropins.
- Estradiol just before the ovulation cause the luteinizing hormone surge which is responsible for the final maturation and ovulation of the oocyte. Giving a woman high-doses estrogen immediately post-coitally also can prevent conception probably by interference with implantation.
- progestin makes the cervical mucus thick, tenacious and cellular. These changes in female reproductive system are believed to impede spermatozoal transport. Administration of progestin also inhibits luteinizing hormone secretion and blocks ovulation in humans. Therefore, progestins can also provide contraception.
- the most used medication for oral contraception is a pill that has both an estrogen and a progestin component, a so-called combined oral contraceptive preparation.
- An alternative hormonal method of oral contraception is a pill that contains progestin only.
- progestin-only preparations have a more varied spectrum of side effects than the combined preparations, an example being breakthrough bleeding. It is also less efficacious than the combined oral contraceptives.
- the combined preparations are the preferred oral contraceptives in use today (Sheth et al., Contraception 25:243, 1982).
- Pat. No. 4,390,531 shows a tri-phasic medication in which each phase uses about 20-40 meg ethinyl estradiol.
- the phases 1 and 3 use 0.3-0.8 norethindrone and phase 2 doubles the amount of the norethindrone. In a 28 day cycle, these three phases account for the first 21 days.
- Pat. No. 490,531 shows a tri-phasic medication in which each phase uses about 20-40 meg ethinyl estradiol.
- the phases 1 and 3 use 0.3-0.8 norethindrone and phase 2 doubles the amount of the norethindrone. In a 28 day cycle, these three phases account for the first 21 days.
- Pat. No. 5,098,714 (U.S.) describes an osmotic, oral dosage form. One pill is taken each day but the administration is, in effect, polyphasic.
- the dosage form is constructed such that it provides an initial pulse delivery of estrogen and progestin followed by prolonged delivery of estrogen.
- the Pat. No. 0 253 607 shows a monophasic contraceptive preparation containing units having 0.008-0.03 g of ethinyl estradiol and 0.025-0.1 mg of desogestrel and a medication where the preparation is administered over a 23-25 day period, preferably 24 days, followed by a 2-5 day of pill-free period.
- the object of this medication is to provide contraceptive protection and for hormonal replacement therapy the pre-menopausal woman in need thereof by supplying a low dose of an estrogen combined with a low dose of a progestogen.
- Pat. No. 5,552,394 shows a female contraception method.
- the method is characterized by a reduced incidence of breakthrough bleeding after the first cycle which involves administering a combination of estrogen and progestin for 23-25 consecutive days of a 28 day cycle in a monophasic fashion.
- the daily amounts of estrogen and progestin are equivalent to about 5-35 ⁇ g of ethinyl estradiol and about 0.025 to 10 mg of norethindrone acetate, respectively.
- the weight ratio of estrogen to progestin is at least 1 :45, calculated as ethinyl estradiol to norethindrone acetate.
- the medication enhances compliance by involving fewer stop/start transitions per year and also results in less blood loss in patients with anemia. Having fewer menstrual intervals can enhance lifestyles and convenience.
- the fewer "pill-free intervals" also should contribute to increased efficacy since they eliminate the intervals around which errors of compliance can occur and allow follicular development and occasional development of "dominant follicles" that cannot be corrected subsequently by the subsequent intake of estrogen / progestin tablets.
- This invention describes a method of female contraception which is characterized by a reduced number of withdrawal menses per year.
- This is a new method of female contraception which involves administering, preferably in a monophasic fashion, a combination of estrogen and progestin for 180-364 consecutive days followed by 3-5 days of no administration, in which the daily amounts of the estrogen and progestin are equivalent to about 5-35 meg of ethinyl estradiol and about 0.050-0.150 mg of levonorgestrel, respectively,
- a women in need of contraception is administered a combined dosage form of estrogen and progestin, preferably in a monophasic fashion, for 180-364 consecutive days, followed by an administration- free interval of 3 to 5 days, preferably about 3 days.
- the daily amounts of estrogen and progestin are equivalent to about 5-35 ⁇ g of ethinyl estradiol and about 0.050-0.150 mg of levonorgestrel, respectively.
- the preferred estrogen is ethinyl estradiol and progestins is levonorgestrel.
- the weight ratio of these two active ingredients is at least 1 :5.
- the preferable amount of ethinyl estradiol is about 10-20 ⁇ g and the preferable amount of levonorgestrel is about 0.050-0.150 mg.
- Other estrogens vary in potency from ethinyl estradiol. For example, 30 ⁇ g of ethinyl estradiol is approximately equivalent to 60 ⁇ g of mestranol or 2,000 ⁇ g of 17-beta- estradiol.
- other progestins vary in potency from norethindrone acetate.
- 1 mg of levonorgestrel is roughly equivalent to 3.5 mg of norethindrone acetate or 1mg of desogestrel and 3-ketodesogestrel, 0.7 mg of gestodene, 10 mg of TMG (Wyeth) or 2 mg of chlormadinone.
- the values given above are for the ethinyl estradiol and the norethindrone acetate and if a different estrogen or progestin is employed, an adjustment in the amount based on the relative potency should be made.
- the relative potency of the various estrogens and progestins are known.
- estrogens cannot be used. These estrogens include the esters of estradiol, estrone and ethinyl estradiol such as the acetate, sulfate, valerate or benzoate, conjugated equine estrogens, agnostic anti-estrogens, and selective estrogen receptor modulators.
- the estrogen is administered in the conventional manner by any route where it is absorbed, such as orally or transdermally. Most of the estrogens are orally active and that route of administration is therefore preferred.
- the forms of administration of estrogen and progestin can be tablets, dragees, capsules or pills which contain the estrogen or progestin and a pharmaceutically appropriate carrier.
- the pharmaceutical formulations which contain progestin and a suitable carrier, can be solid oral dosage forms which includes tablets, capsules, cachets, pellets, pills, powders or granules; topical dosage forms which includes solutions, powders, fluid emulsions, fluid suspensions, semi-solids, ointments, pastes, creams, gels or jellies, foams and controlled release depot entities; and parenteral dosage forms which includes solutions, suspensions, emulsions or dry powder comprising an effective amount of progestin in this invention.
- the progestin which is the active drug, can be contained in such formulations in addition to pharmaceutically acceptable diluents, fillers, disintegrants, binders, lubricants, surfactants, hydrophobic vehicles, water soluble vehicles, emulsifiers, buffers, humectants, moisturizers, solubilizers, preservatives and the like.
- pharmaceutically acceptable diluents fillers, disintegrants, binders, lubricants, surfactants, hydrophobic vehicles, water soluble vehicles, emulsifiers, buffers, humectants, moisturizers, solubilizers, preservatives and the like.
- the methods for administration are known in the art and an artisan can refer to various pharmacologic references for guidance. For example, “Modern Pharmaceutics", Banker & Rhodes, Marcel Dekker, Inc. 1979; “Goodman & Gilman's The Pharmaceutical Basis of Therapeutics", 6th Edition, MacMillan Publishing Co.
- the pharmaceutical formulations may be provided in kit form containing 28 active tablets to be taken once daily on successive days. The completion of one kit is immediately followed by the start of the next kit and the patient will take the tablets continuously for 180 to 364 days.
- the studies begin with spontaneous menstruation in a pretreatment control cycle. At the onset of the next spontaneous menses, alternatively, they are assigned to receive on cycle day one an ultra low dose oral contraceptive for either 60 consecutive days, followed by 3 non-treatment days or 84 consecutive days, followed by a 7 non-treatment days. These regimens are continued through three treatment cycles. The study concludes with each group of primates being followed during a post-treatment spontaneous ovarian menstrual cycle.
- Femoral blood is collected daily and the serum frozen for subsequent RIA of estradiol, progesterone, FSH and LH in the pretreatment and post-treatment cycles and every 3rd day during all three treatment cycles, except daily through the "pill free" interval.
- Bleeding profiles are kept by daily vaginal swabs, indicating spontaneous menstruation, withdrawal bleeding, breakthrough bleeding, or withdrawal amenorrhea. Breakthrough bleeding is defined as detectable blood in the vagina outside of the first 8 days after the last dose of oral contraceptive or the onset of spontaneous menses in non-treatment cycles.
- the medication is adjusted to fit the smaller (than human) body weight of these laboratory primates.
- the dose of ethinyl estradiol is 1.2 ⁇ g/day, while the dose of norethindrone acetate is 0.06 mg/day.
- This "in-house" reformulation is achieved by grinding to powder a commercially available monophasic pill (Loestrin 1/20, Parke Davis, Morris Plains, N.J.), which originally contained 1 mg of norethindrone acetate and 20 ⁇ g of ethinyl estradiol per tablet, contained in a conventional 21 -day pack along with 7 iron- containing placebos.
- the daily dose received by the monkeys is about 12 ⁇ g of ethinyl estradiol and 0.6 mg of norethindrone acetate.
- this ultra low dose oral contraceptive formulation presented a 40% reduction in daily estrogen- progestin exposure as compared to one of the lowest estrogen dose combination oral contraceptives commercially available today in America or Europe.
