项目摘要

PROJECT ABSTRACT Emergency contraception (EC) provides a woman with an additional line of defense against unintended pregnancy following an act of unprotected intercourse. Orally-dosed EC works by delaying ovulation and reduces the risk of pregnancy for a single act of unprotected intercourse by 50-70%. Unfortunately, obese women are significantly more likely than their normal BMI counterparts to experience failure of orally-dosed EC and in some instances EC is equivalent to placebo. Our preliminary data provides evidence for testing a dose escalation strategy in an effort to provide improved efficacy from orally-dosed EC in obese women. We hypothesize that increasing the dose of orally-dosed EC agents will normalize the pharmacokinetics resulting in the expected treatment effect (delay in follicle rupture) in obese women. In this proposal, we plan to perform detailed pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies of ulipristal acetate- based EC in obese women and expand upon our preliminary findings of levonorgestrel-based EC.

项目摘要紧急避孕（EC）为妇女提供针对的额外防御意外怀孕无保护的性交。口服剂量的EC作品延迟排卵并降低单一不受保护的性交的怀孕风险乘以50-70％。不幸的是，肥胖女性比正常BMI的可能性要大得多同行会经历口服EC的失败，在某些情况下，EC等同于安慰剂。我们的初步数据提供了测试剂量升级策略的证据在肥胖女性中提供口服剂量EC的疗效提高。我们假设这一点增加口服剂量EC剂的剂量将使药代动力学正常化，从而导致肥胖女性的预期治疗效果（卵泡破裂的延迟）。在这个建议中，我们计划对乙酸乌吡酯进行详细的药代动力学和药效学研究基于肥胖妇女的EC并扩展了我们基于左甲虫的初步发现 EC。
