A Multi-center, Single-blind, Randomized Clinical Trial to Compare Two Copper IUDs: Mona Lisa NT Cu380 Mini and ParaGard

This will be a multi-site, participant-blinded, randomized clinical trial. The investigators
will randomize 1000 eligible participants in a 4:1 ratio to two different copper IUDs: 800 to
Mona Lisa NT Cu380 Mini and 200 to ParaGard.

The total duration of the study for each participant is expected to be approximately 39
months: including screening and enrollment (up to 30 days to meet enrollment criteria), 37
months of participation, and a post-removal follow up telephone call 17 days post-removal.
After enrollment, subject visits occur at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months,
with telephone calls at 9, 18, and 30 months and seen again at 37 months for their final
visit. Subjects will use a home pregnancy test 17 days post-removal of the IUD or Exit Visit
procedures, whichever occurs first, and called by the site for the result and for safety
follow-up.

Subject recruitment is expected to begin Q2 (in the second quarter of) 2017 and is planned to
continue through Q2 2018. However, if the enrollment rate declines, the enrollment period may
be extended beyond this date. If this enrollment timeline is met, all subjects should finish
active treatment by approximately the end of Q2 2021. The total duration of the study will be
approximately 48 months for each study site including pre- and post- trial activities. The
end of the study will occur when the last subject to be enrolled has completed her
post-removal pregnancy test telephone call.

Total duration of the project is expected to be five years. Preliminary results of the study
are expected to be available Q4 of 2019 based on the current study plan.
