Skin response study of an estradiol and levonorgestrel patch in healthy postmenopausal women
This study tests a new skin patch that releases two hormones (estradiol and levonorgestrel) to see how it affects the skin. It is for healthy postmenopausal women and checks for any irritation or allergic reactions.

This trial tests a new contraceptive patch to see if it can prevent ovulation (the release of an egg). If you are a healthy woman looking for a non-hormonal birth control option, this study may be a good fit.
This study looks at how estrogen levels affect heart health in women after menopause. You may be asked to wear an estrogen patch to see if it helps your heart and blood vessels.
This early-stage study tests whether adding an estrogen skin patch (estradiol) can change how your body releases key reproductive hormones in adults with PCOS. It may help researchers better understand PCOS-related hormone control and signaling.
This study tests whether a hormone called estradiol (given as a patch and pill) changes how the brain and body respond to reward in some midlife women with low pleasure and/or psychosis symptoms during menopause transition. It may help researchers understand whether estrogen treatment can improve mood-related “reward” function in this group.
This trial tests a skin patch containing two hormones (estrogen and progestin) to see if it can stop irregular bleeding in women who have a contraceptive implant. If you're having unpredictable or prolonged bleeding with your implant, this treatment may help regulate your periods.
