AG1000 is a low dose, progestin-only contraceptive patch currently in clinical development. The primary indication for this patch will be the prevention of pregnancy. Progestin-only contraceptives are useful in women desiring contraception who are breast-feeding and/or women where estrogen containing contraceptives are contraindicated, inappropriate or unwanted.
The patch contains levonorgestrel (LNG) and is provided in a 28-day regimen. The patch is replaced every 7 days on a continuous basis, with no "patch-free" period.
AG1000 represents a significant advance in women's healthcare and could provide a convenient alternative to progestin-only contraceptive pills. AG1000 builds upon Agile’s proprietary technology to create an exciting new option for women who would benefit from progestin-only contraception.
