On May 6, 2017, the Company announced the presentation of additional results of its Phase 3 SECURE clinical trial of its investigational low-dose combination hormone contraceptive patch, Twirla® (AG200-15). Anita Nelson, MD, Professor and Chair of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific, presented a summary of SECURE clinical trial results, which included new data on the bleeding profile of clinical trial subjects during a poster presentation at the 2017 Annual Clinical and Scientific Meeting of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) in San Diego, California.
Dr. Nelson presented a summary of efficacy and safety results from the Company’s SECURE clinical trial, which were previously reported in January 2017. The poster presentation also reported analyses on the bleeding profile, which demonstrated that unscheduled bleeding/spotting days per month decreased from a mean of 3.1 days in Cycle 1 to 1.6 days in Cycle 13. In addition, scheduled bleeding/spotting remained consistent during all cycles, with a reported mean of 3.1 to 3.7 days per month. Dr. Nelson also discussed the role of study designs and populations in contraceptive clinical trials.
Copies of the Company’s press release and poster presentation are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and 99.3, respectively, and are hereby incorporated by reference herein.
