Chief Medical Officer to Discuss Company's Experiences in AG200-15 Phase III Trials

Princeton, NJ (Marketwire) - Agile Therapeutics announced today that Dr. Marie Foegh, Chief Medical Officer and Vice President of Clinical Research and Development, will be presenting at CBI's Forum on Phase II-III Clinical Study Optimization. The event takes place September 20-21, 2012 in Chicago.

Dr. Foegh's presentation will focus on the recent decline in compliance in clinical trials. It will examine recent patterns of clinical trial enrollment in the United States, the importance of enrolling minorities in clinical trials, predictors of noncompliance, and possible solutions to the problem of noncompliance. Dr. Foegh will also discuss her experience leading the Phase III trials for Agile's investigational once weekly contraceptive patch, AG200-15, which is designed to deliver a low daily estrogen dose.

Agile recently filed the NDA for AG200-15 and anticipates a response in the first quarter of 2013.

"I am looking forward to sharing our experience with compliance in the Phase III trials of AG200-15 at CBI's forum," said Dr. Foegh. "Our recent studies have allowed us to gain valuable insights into the issue of noncompliance in clinical studies and I am excited to discuss our experience and to share with conference attendees possible strategies to help address the problem."
