Measure Type	Secondary
Measure Title	Number of Participants With an Occurrence of Continued Withdrawal Bleeding
Measure Description	Cycle control was evaluated on the basis of vaginal bleeding pattern as recorded daily by participants using diary booklets. Participants documented whether vaginal bleeding was present, and if present, indicated whether it was considered to be spotting or bleeding. Continued withdrawal bleeding was defined as any withdrawal bleeding that continued into the "expected non-bleeding period" of the next cycle. Expected non-bleeding period: NOMAC-E2: 21-day period starting on Day 4 of the cycle; LNG-EE: 21-day period starting on Day 1 of the cycle.
Time Frame	Every 28-day cycle for 5 cycles
Safety Issue	No

Population Description

Explanation of how the number of participants for analysis was determined. Includes whether analysis was per protocol, intention to treat, or another method. Also provides relevant details such as imputation technique, as appropriate.
The ITT group consisted of all participants who were treated; ITT analyses of vaginal bleeding patterns were based on all participants in the ITT group who had at least one evaluable cycle. Cycles were considered to be non-evaluable in case of insufficient bleeding data or improper cycle length.

Certain Agreements:

Principal Investigators are NOT employed by the organization sponsoring the study.

There IS an agreement between Principal Investigators and the Sponsor (or its agents) that restricts the PI's rights to discuss or publish trial results after the trial is completed.

The agreement is:

	The only disclosure restriction on the PI is that the sponsor can review results communications prior to public release and can embargo communications regarding trial results for a period that is less than or equal to 60 days. The sponsor cannot require changes to the communication and cannot extend the embargo.
	The only disclosure restriction on the PI is that the sponsor can review results communications prior to public release and can embargo communications regarding trial results for a period that is more than 60 days but less than or equal to 180 days. The sponsor cannot require changes to the communication and cannot extend the embargo.
	Other disclosure agreement that restricts the right of the PI to discuss or publish trial results after the trial is completed. Restriction Description: The SPONSOR recognizes the right of the investigator(s) to publish, but all publications must be based on data validated and released by the SPONSOR. Any such scientific paper, presentation, or other communication concerning the clinical trial will first be submitted to the SPONSOR, at least six weeks ahead of estimated publication or presentation, for consent, which shall not be withheld unreasonably.

Limitations and Caveats

Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data
