Actavis has announced that the initial results of ACCESS IUS (A Comprehensive Contraceptive Efficacy and Safety Study of an IUS) were published online in the medical journal Contraception. The study found that Liletta (levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system) 52 mg, is 99.45% effective for the prevention of pregnancy for up to three years of use in women aged 16-35 regardless of race, parity (previous births), or body mass index (BMI). The ACCESS IUS trial is still ongoing and will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Liletta for up to seven years of use.
