2 L` evoluzione dell`estroprogestinico dosaggio estrogeno e progestinici Contraccezione con solo progestinico Sintesi e/o impiego di progestinici a minor impatto androgenico o selettivi Nuove vie di somministrazione Nuovi regimi di somministrazione Introduzione di estrogeni naturali 2

3 1957 Enovidcon 150 mcg di mestranolo 9,85 mg di noretinodrel 2001 EP con EE 15 mcg+ Gestodene 60 mcg Estrogeni naturali 1973 Microgynon 50 mcg di EE+Lng 150mcg 2009: Klaira, E 2 V/DNG In regime quadrifasico : Schering sviluppa Etinilestradiolo 1961: Anovlar EE 50 mcg + NETA 4mg 2000:OC con drospirenone Yasmin 2006: YAZ drospirenone 3mg /EE 20 mcg 24/4 regimen Sintesi Clorrmadinone ac. 3

4 Riduzione della dose di EE 50 mcgee 30 mcg EE 20 mcg EE 15 mcg EE rischio cardiovascolare effetti collaterali estrogeno correlati ( peso, nausea, tensione mammaria, cefalea ) stimolo sintesi sistema renina angiotensina stimolo sintesi epatica trigliceridi e VLDL Limite per deficit estrogenico Rischio di TVE e dosaggio EE nelle OC users Osteopenia, bleeding attività secretiva mucose produzione HDL colesterolo 4

5 Adverse events associated with EE : WHY? effects on liver metabolism higher exposure due to greater bioavailability extended half-life. 5

6 17β -E2 vs ethinylestradiol: Different metabolisms (1) 17α-Ethinyl Estradiol OH C CH HO H H H Endogenous and synthetic exogenous estradiol are extensively biotransformed to estrogen conjugates Limitation of EE conjugation Limitation of EE metabolism 6

7 L impatto metabolico di EE ed E2 è lo stesso? Etinilestradiolo Importante impatto su markers epatici SHBG Angiotensinogeno Markers Coagulazione HDL-colesterolo NO HDL E2 Potenza relativa di estrogeni diversi(%) SHBG Angiotensinogeno E EE Markers coagulazione SHBG HDL colesterolo 7

8 E2- based pills: Why only now? Historically, the development of E2- containing pills was stopped due to bleeding irregularities when administered as monophasic or biphasic regimens The first E2 pill with an acceptable bleeding profile was introduced in several markets in 2009: It combines estradiol valerate with dienogest administered in a quadriphasic, 26-day pill regimen ( dynamic dosing regimen ) 8

9 E2- based pills: Seeking the ideal progestin The challenge remains to combine a progestin that: Offers good cycle control Leads to an easy-to-use regimen (monophasic regimen) 9

17 Nomegestrol acetate s ID High affinity for progesterone receptor High selective antigonadotropic activity Mild antiandrogenic activity No estrogenic, androgenic, and mineralo-glucocorticoid effects To preserve 17β- estradiol benefits, it is preferable to use a progestin devoid of glucocorticoid, androgenic and estrogenic effects 17

18 Progestins in COCs with various half-lifelife Half-life of various progestins Half-life can be given in a range of values for a few progestins 55 E2-based pills EE-based pills Half-life of nomegestrol acetate is as long as 46h 18

19 NOMAC Pharmacodynamic Endometrial effect of EE and estrogen withdrawal bleeding Progestogens induce the conversion of E2 in to E1 in the endometrial cells via stimulation of 17β-estradiol dehydrogenase type 2 This mechanism occurs only with combinations of progestogens (as NOMAC) with E2, as ethinylestradiol is not a substrate for this enzyme Endometrial proliferation breaks down Silent menstruations 19

20 Incidence of unscheduled bleeding or spotting episodes per evaluable cycle (B) The incidence of absence of scheduled bleeding episodes per cycle (B) 20

21 Cycle control analysis Absence of withdrawal bleeding Absence of withdrawal bleeding ranged over the cycles 1-12 from 18% to 32% of cycles in the Zoely group Early absence of withdrawal bleeding, occurring during the first months of Zoely use, is predictive of a persistent absence of bleeding with time: 21

22 Bleeding profile: Potential users of Zoely should be counseled regarding the absence of withdrawal bleeding, which is not a sign of reduced contraceptive efficacy* 22
