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

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

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
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

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
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 42.5 26 Half-life of nomegestrol acetate is as long as 46h 18
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
Incidence of unscheduled bleeding or spotting episodes per evaluable cycle (B) The incidence of absence of scheduled bleeding episodes per cycle (B) 20
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
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
