This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.865), provides $1,295,474 to Yale University to conduct a prospective two-year study on the use of the etonogestrel (ENG) contraceptive implant when inserted at an alternative subdermal scapular site. The study aims to collect long-term pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data on the ENG implant inserted at this alternative site, which may help alleviate rare but serious insertion-related side effects associated with the standard arm insertion location. The research will involve a cohort of 62 healthy, reproductive-age females, with serial pharmacokinetic measurements taken every 6 months over the 2-year study period. The findings will be used to evaluate the bioequivalence of this alternative insertion approach compared to the standard method. The award period runs from Sep 15, 2025 through Aug 31, 2027, with the goal of supporting the potential clinical use of the scapular-site inserted ENG implant for its full 3-year approved duration of use.
