Dr. Marie Foegh, Chief Medical Officer and Vice President, Clinical Research and Development of Agile Therapeutics, said, "There is a significant unmet need for more convenient contraceptive options that are safe and easy for patients to use.

We are working diligently to bring this unique product to market as quickly as we can and have recently submitted our New Drug Application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration."
AG200-15, developed by Agile Therapeutics, is a combination hormonal contraceptive patch, which in clinical studies has been shown to deliver a low dose of ethinyl estradiol, as well as a dose of levonorgestrel that is consistent with the efficacy and safety profile of low-dose oral contraceptives. Agile Therapeutics initiated its Phase III clinical trials, NEW CHOICE STUDY and NEW CHOICE II, for AG200-15 in August 2010. The phase III trials, which enrolled more than 2,000 women, will form the basis for the Company's application to the US Food and Drug Administration in 2012.
The AG200-15 patch is applied once weekly for three weeks, followed by a fourth, patch-free week. The patch may be applied to the abdomen, buttocks, or upper torso, is soft and flexible with a cloth-like, silky feel, and is designed to provide excellent adhesion, comfort, and appearance.
Agile Therapeutics is a pharmaceutical development company specializing in Women's Healthcare products, with an initial focus on providing women with more options and more convenient methods of hormonal contraception. The company's lead product, AG200-15, is a once-weekly contraceptive patch that recently completed Phase III clinical trials. In addition, Agile is also developing a low dose, progestin-only contraceptive patch, AG890 (formerly AG900). Both AG200-15 and AG890 incorporate proprietary transdermal delivery technology, Skinfusion®, developed by Agile, consisting of an active and peripheral adhesive system that allows stable drug delivery and dependable adhesion over seven days.
