Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Cohort 2 (adults aged 18-45) Hormonal Treatment ArmExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects in the USA will choose to use the LF111 tablets or drospirenone (DRSP) 3.5 mg chewable tablets; 1/3 of subjects in the USA should receive DRSP 3.5 mg chewable tablets. Only LF111 will be available to subjects in Europe.
Group II: Cohort 1 (adolescents aged 14-17) Hormonal Treatment ArmExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects in the USA will choose to use the LF111 tablets or drospirenone (DRSP) 3.5 mg chewable tablets; 1/3 of subjects in the USA should receive DRSP 3.5 mg chewable tablets. Only LF111 will be available to subjects in Europe.
Group III: Cohort 1 (adolescents aged 14-17) Non-Hormonal Contraceptive ArmActive Control1 Intervention
Subjects in this group will not receive any investigational product. They will be free to use a non-hormonal contraceptive method of their choice. Non-hormonal contraceptive methods include barrier contraceptive methods (condoms, female condoms, cervical caps, diaphragms, and contraceptive sponges), double barrier methods, non-hormonal IUD (e.g., copper IUD), surgical female sterilization, vasectomized partner, spermicides, and sexual abstinence.
Group IV: Cohort 2 (adults aged 18-45) Non-Hormonal Contraceptive Method ArmActive Control1 Intervention
Subjects in this group will not receive any investigational product. They will be free to use a non-hormonal contraceptive method of their choice. Non-hormonal contraceptive methods include barrier contraceptive methods (condoms, female condoms, cervical caps, diaphragms, and contraceptive sponges), double barrier methods, non-hormonal IUD (e.g., copper IUD), surgical female sterilization, vasectomized partner, spermicides, and sexual abstinence.
