A Multi-Center, Non-Randomized Pharmacokinetic Study of Makena® (Hydroxyprogesterone Caproate Injection, 250 mg/mL) and Its Metabolites in Blood and Urine of Women With a Singleton Pregnancy and a Previous Singleton Spontaneous Preterm Delivery

This study will evaluate the levels of hydroxyprogesterone caproate and it's metabolites in
blood and urine throughout pregnancy

There will be 3 cohorts of subjects

Cohort 1 (6 subjects) will have daily urine samples collected and blood draws in the morning
at approximately the same time each day for one week following their first dose of Makena
and will have a urine sample collected and blood drawn immediately prior to 2 successive
Makena doses during Epoch 1 (24 - 28 weeks) and Epoch 2 (32 - 36 weeks)

Cohort 2 (8 subjects) will have a urine sample collected and blood drawn to determine the
trough concentration 7 days after their first dose of Makena. Subjects will have daily
urine samples collected and blood draws for one week following a dose of Makena given in
Epoch 1 (24 - 28 weeks) and a urine sample collected and blood drawn immediately prior to 2
successive doses during Epoch 2 (32 - 36 weeks)

Cohort 3 (16 subjects) will have a urine sample collected and blood drawn to determine the
trough concentration 7 days after their first dose of Makena. Subjects will have a urine
sample collected and blood drawn immediately prior to 2 successive doses in Epoch 1 (24 -
28 weeks) and a daily urine sample collected and blood draws for one week following a dose
of Makena given during Epoch 2 (32 - 36 weeks)

A maximum of 10 subjects will be monitored on selected days following a completed course of
Makena therapy to determine the terminal elimination phase.
