Summary
Obese women are significantly more likely than their normal BMI counterparts to experience
failure of orally-dosed emergency contraceptives. The PI's preliminary data provides evidence
for testing a dose escalation strategy in an effort to provide improved efficacy from
orally-dosed emergency contraceptives in obese women. The overall project will be focused on
both levonorgestrel (LNG) - and ulipristal acetate-containing emergency contraception but
this protocol registration is for the LNG aspect of the study procedures.
