ClinConnect Summary
The International Active Surveillance Study is looking at a new type of birth control pill called estetrol (E4) combined with drospirenone (DRSP). This study aims to understand how safe this new pill is compared to other commonly used birth control pills that contain different hormone combinations. The main concern the study is focusing on is the risk of blood clots, known as venous thromboembolism (VTE), in women taking these pills.
To be eligible for this study, you must be a new user of one of the birth control pills being compared, such as E4/DRSP or other combinations like EE/DRSP. However, women who have had a baby in the last six weeks will not be able to participate. The study is currently not recruiting, which means they haven’t started signing up participants yet. If you join, you'll be part of a group that helps researchers learn more about the safety of these contraceptive options in real-life settings.
