Randomized trial to evaluate contraceptive efficacy, safety and acceptability of a two-rod contraceptive implant over 4 years in the Dominican Republic

This Sino-implant (II) pivotal clinical trial in the Dominican Republic collected safety and efficacy data for World Health Organization (WHO) prequalification, a quality standard allowing global donors to procure a pharmaceutical product. Based on data from this trial, WHO prequalified Sino-implant (II), marketed globally as Levoplant, as a three-year contraceptive method in June 2017, resulting in the distribution of more than one million units in the following year.

The data show that several brands had a range of product quality defects that could increase the risk to users for STIs or unwanted pregnancies. This research emphasizes the need for continued vigilance to increase regulatory and market surveillance efforts that protect public health interests.
