Study Description

Brief Summary:

The investigators are doing this study to look at how different doses of the Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) shot effect weight gain and bone mineral density in teens. The investigators hope that what the investigators learn from this study will be used to develop ways to keep girls from gaining weight or losing bone density when receiving DMPA.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Weight Gain; Disorder of Bone Density and Structure, Unspecified; Uterine Bleeding	Drug: Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA)	Phase 3

Detailed Description:

Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) is a generic form of the DepoProvera® shot. When receiving the birth control shot some girls gain a lot of weight while others do not. Some girls also lose bone mineral density (BMD). Bone mineral density is the amount of weight and thickness of the bones.

In this study 1 of 3 doses of DMPA will be given as an injection into the muscle in the arm. The 150mg dose is approved for use in this age group by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) when given into the muscle. The 104mg dose is approved for use in this age group by the FDA only when given under the skin therefore it is considered experimental. The 75mg dose is also considered experimental as this dose is not FDA approved regardless of how it is given.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Percent Change in Lumbar Spine Bone Mineral Density (BMD) From Baseline to 48 Weeks [ Time Frame: Percent change from baseline to 48 Weeks ]
   Lumbar spine bone mineral density measured at baseline and 48 weeks. Percent change over this time was calculated.
2. Proportion of Participants With >5% Weight Gain at 24 Weeks [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]
   Individual subjects will be assessed after their Week 24 visit.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Percent Change in Total Hip BMD From Baseline to 48 Weeks [ Time Frame: Percent change from baseline to 48 weeks ]
   Total hip bone mineral density was assessed at baseline and 48 weeks. Percent change from baseline to 48 weeks was calculated.
