About this trial
The goal of this multicenter prospective observational study and registry of U.S. adolescents and young adults with heritable bleeding disorders is to determine the bleeding outcomes, satisfaction, hemostatic parameter changes, and patient reported quality of life after 6 months of use of either of two commonly used hormonal treatments for menstrual suppression - levonorgestrel intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) and norethindrone acetate (NETA). Under this application the study will compare the two treatments and compare outcomes after LNG-IUD treatment results to a control group without a bleeding disorder, with the goal of determining the benefits and expected outcomes of these treatment options for this population.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Treatment success rate
Proportion with pictorial blood loss assessment score \<50 points
Secondary outcomes
Median Pictorial Blood Assessment Chart (PBAC) score
Group median of pictorial blood loss assessment score. PBAC scores start at 0 to represent no bleeding with higher PBAC scores representing heavy menstrual bleeding. There is no maximum PBAC score.
Patient-reported treatment success rate
Proportion with patient-reported treatment success. Treatment success will be measured with Yes or No bivariate response.
Change in Adolescent Menstrual Bleeding Questionnaire (aMBQ) score
Group median of individual change in adolescent menstrual bleeding questionnaire score. aMBQ scores can range from 0 to 77 with higher scores representing worse health-related quality of life.
Change in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS-25 or PROMIS-29) scores
Group median of individual change in patient-reported outcomes measurement information system score after treatment. PROMIS-25 and PROMIS-29 scores are measured on a standardized scale of T-scores with a score of 50 representing the population average and higher scores representing worse outcomes. Participants who will be age 18 or older at six months after treatment initiation will be administered the PROMIS-25 adult version and age \<18 will be administered the PROMIS-29 pediatric version.
