Healthy Human Volunteers  Bleeding during use of Copper T  
 
Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Coated Copper T  Copper Containing intra Uterine Device coated with an FDA approved biodegradable polymer which will degrade in the body to original monomers lactic acid and glycolic acid.The degradation products are easily metabolized in the body and are eliminated. The safe polymer coating will modulate the bulk release of copper ions from the copper T device, reducing side effects such as excessive bleeding and pain. 
Comparator Agent  Copper T 380 A  Copper containing Intra uterine device, available in the market for contraception.

Summary

Bleeding is one of the most common complications in IUD users.  Copper T Intra uterine devices (IUD) represent an important contraceptive option for a very large number of women, about 160 million worldwide. We have clinically evaluated the efficacy of Coated Copper T (CCT) in reducing the bleeding side effects as compared with Ordinary Copper T 380A(OCT). 

This multicentre, randomized, single-blind, parallel-arm clinical trial was performed on 200 women in multiple sites from June 2016 to May 2018, in India. Participants were allocated into two equal groups for receiving CCT or OCT IUDs in simple randomized method (1:1). Data were collected by demographic questionnaires and pictorial blood assessment chart (PBAC) and quality of life assessments after IUD insertion. 

In this trial, between July 23 2016 and March 20 2017, 200 eligible participants were randomly assigned, of whom 100 patients were enrolled in CCT group and 100 were enrolled in OCT group. The Mean score bleeding in the first three months to 12 months after IUD insertion in IUD CCT users was significantly (p<0·05) lower than IUD Copper T 380A group. The number of times a participant reported either moderate or severe pain was more in the OCT group as compared to the CCT group. No pregnancies or expulsion of IUD was reported in either of the study groups.

CCT has shown promise in our study in decreasing the menstrual blood loss and pain significantly when compared to the group using conventional OCT device.
