A single mid-follicular dose of CDB-2914, a new antiprogestin, inhibits folliculogenesis and endometrial differentiation in normally cycling women.

Previous studies in women have shown that the antiprogestin mifepristone delays or inhibits folliculogenesis. The purpose of this study was to explore whether a new analogue, CDB-2914, has similar effects on folliculogenesis, ovulation, or on subsequent luteal phase endometrial maturation. Forty-four normally cycling, healthy women recorded urine LH and vaginal bleeding during pre-treatment, treatment, and post-treatment cycles.
