6.1 Clinical Trial Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to the rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The clinical trials that evaluated the safety of ANNOVERA were obtained from three 13- cycle trials.
One trial was conducted entirely in the U.S.
(15 sites), and the other two were global studies that included 5 U.S.
sites and 7 international sites (Australia, Brazil, Chile, Dominican Republic, Finland, Hungary, Sweden).
All three trials were open label and enrolled healthy females, desiring contraception, 18 to 40 years of age.
At about 50% enrollment, females with BMI >29 kg/m 2 were excluded due to the occurrence of two VTEs in this subgroup.
In total, 2,308 females contributed 21,590 cycles of exposure for safety evaluation and 999 completed 13 cycles;
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Thrombotic Disorders and Other Vascular Problems: Stop ANNOVERA if a thrombotic or thromboembolic event occurs.
Stop ANNOVERA at least 4 weeks before and through 2 weeks after major surgery.
Start ANNOVERA no earlier than 4 weeks after delivery, in females who are not breastfeeding.
Consider cardiovascular risk factors before initiating in all females, particularly those over 35 years.
