The study will examine changes from baseline, pre-contraceptive dosing to post contraceptive dosing of cervico-vaginal mucosal safety and adverse events.\n\nParticipants at each site will be randomized (1:1:1:1) to one of four, marketed, approved contraceptive dosing forms: Levonorgestrel (LNG) 52 mg. Intrauterine System (IUS), Copper Intrauterine Device (IUD), etonogestrel (ETG, Nexplanon, Implanon) contraceptive implant, or DMPA SC contraceptive injection.\n\nEnrollment is expected to take approximately 8 months and each participant is expected to complete the study within 4 months.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'FEMALE', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '50 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age 18 to 50 years, inclusive\n* In general good health without any significant systemic disease and with an intact uterus and cervix.\n* History of Pap smears and follow-up consistent with standard, local clinical practice or willing to undergo a Pap smear at Visit 1\n* Willing to give voluntary consent and sign an informed consent form\n* Willing and able to comply with protocol requirements, including accepting randomization to study contraceptive products\n* If currently on a contraceptive product, willing to go off products and use condoms for birth control for a specified time\n* If in a relationship, must be with a partner who is not known to be HIV positive and has no know risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs)\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Positive pregnancy test or plans to become pregnant during the course of the study\n* Currently exclusively breastfeeding or planning to exclusively breastfeed during the course of the study\n* Less than six weeks from a delivery of an infant greater than 20 weeks gestation\n* Use of DMPA in the past 4 months\n* Clinical signs and symptoms of menopause\n* Current WHO or CDC medical eligibility criteria level 3 or 4 for any contraceptive product to which a participant could receive at the clinical site\n* History of sensitivity/allergy to any component of the study product, topical anesthetic, or to both silver nitrate and Monsel's solution\n* Current infection with Trichomonas vaginalis (TV), Neisseria gonorrhea (NG), Chlamydia trachomatis (CT)\n* Current positive test for HIV\n* History of a pulmonary embolus or deep vein thrombosis\n* Chronic or acute vulvar or vaginal symptoms (pain, irritation, spotting/bleeding, discharge, etc)\n* Known blood disorder, eg. von Willebrands disease, that could lead to prolonged or continuous bleeding with biopsy\n* Chronic use systemic corticosteroids, antibiotics, antimycobacterials, anticoagulants or other drugs known to prolong bleeding and/or promote clotting, antifungals, or antivirals or antiretrovirals.\n* Current or anticipated chronic use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or acetaminophen for the duration of the study\n* Participation in any other investigational trial with use of a drug/device within the last 30 days or planned participation in any other investigational trial with use of a drug/device during the study\n* Abnormal finding on laboratory or physical examination or a social or medical condition in which, in the opinion of the investigator, would make participation in the study unsafe or would complicate interpretation of the data"}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT04814927', 'acronym': 'UMPALA', 'briefTitle': 'Impact of Contraceptives on Cervico-Vaginal Mucosa', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Eastern Virginia Medical School'}, 'officialTitle': 'The UMPALA Study: A Clinical Study to Assess the Impact of Contraceptives on the Cervico-Vaginal Mucosa', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'CONRAD D20-149'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Copper IUD', 'description': 'The copper IUD contains approximately 176 mg of copper wire wrapped around a vertical stem.
