That is some great colour on the benefits of Nextstellis. Negligible effects on many hormone and metabolic parameters, especially compared to competition.

Abstract

Objectives

To evaluate the effect on endocrine and metabolic parameters of a new combined oral contraceptive (COC) containing estetrol (E4) and drospirenone (DRSP).
Study design

Randomized, open-label, controlled, 3-arm, parallel study. Healthy subjects received either E4 15 mg/DRSP 3 mg (E4/DRSP) (n = 38), or ethinylestradiol (EE) 30 µg/levonorgestrel (LNG) 150 µg (n = 29), or EE 20 µg/DRSP 3 mg (n = 31) for 6 treatment cycles. Median percentage change from baseline to cycle 3 and to cycle 6 were evaluated for endocrine parameters, liver proteins, lipid profile, and carbohydrate metabolism.
Results

At cycle 6, E4/DRSP treatment had less effect on gonadotropins (follicle stimulating hormone [FSH] +30.5%, luteinizing hormone [LH] −7.5%) compared to EE/LNG (FSH −84.0%, LH −92.0%) and EE/DRSP (FSH −64.0%, LH −90.0%). With E4/DRSP increases in total cortisol (+26.0%) and cortisol binding globulin ([CBG] (+40.0%) were less compared to EE/LNG (cortisol +109.0%, CBG +152.0%) and EE/DRSP (cortisol +107.0%, CBG +140.0%). Liver proteins, except CRP, increased, but the effect was less pronounced with E4/DRSP for angiotensinogen (+75.0%) compared to EE/LNG (+170.0%) and EE/DRSP (+206.5%) and for sex hormone binding globulin ([SHBG] +55.0%), compared to EE/LNG (+74.0%) and EE/DRSP (+251.0%). E4/DRSP had minimal impact on lipid parameters; the largest effect was observed for triglycerides (+24.0%), which was less compared to EE/LNG (+28.0%) and EE/DRSP (+65.5%). E4/DRSP had no effect on carbohydrate metabolism.
Conclusions

E4/DRSP treatment has limited effects on endocrine and metabolic parameters. The effects on gonadotropins, cortisol, CBG, angiotensinogen, SHBG and triglycerides were less pronounced compared to EE-containing products.
Implications statement

Combining E4 15 mg with DRSP 3 mg resulted in a COC with a different metabolic profile in comparison to EE-containing products. The clinical relevance of these findings needs to be further assessed, using clinical endpoints to establish the safety profile of this new COC.

(Captain barnacles thinks the implications will be that you don't want to take the other ones any more.)
