Good morning! Kamala Harris breaks her silence after the election, warns Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Trump against tariffs and warn AssetsNina Ajemian reports on the state of male birth control – a turbulent political environment for the health of women and drugs. I wish you a relaxing weekend.
– Control. Proponents of reproductive freedom have been waiting for the arrival of male birth control (in addition to condoms and vasectomies) for years. New options are finally approaching the market – exactly when the second Trump administration penetrates the White House.
This is a problem in which the Trump White House could be a bit of a wildcard. On the one hand, the conservative roadmap project 2025 threatens access to birth control for women, From the permission to limit employers from covering the coverage methods that can be covered in the Affordable Care Act. But male birth control has the luxury of “being removed from the entire debate about abortion,” says Darlene Walley, CEO of Plan A, a male contraceptive in development. Most women know that treatments for men and women are often viewed differently, e.g. B. how insurers treat birth control Compared to Viagra. Trump’s candidate for health and human services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Drug authorities Just like looking for new treatments according to the FDA signing.
“We are in a time of transition and it is the time that male contraception really goes out and comes onto the market,” says Heather Vahdat, Managing Director of the Advocacy Group, the male contraceptive initiative. Efforts have already been made to bring products onto the market, but no male contraceptive has removed three attempts. A lack of funds from pharmaceutical companies and serious side effects have been in the way. (Men were rather reserved Tolerate side effects And treatments were more difficult because pregnancy is not a physical risk for men.)
One of these birth control methods is the next life sciences. Plan AA non -hormonal, reversible contraceptive for men that last 10 years and are inserted into an outpatient procedure. Prerequisite for clinical studies in the first quarter of 2025, plan a hydrogel that looks like a filter to prevent the sperm from moving through the VAS deferens. The company plans that the FDA submission, approval and commercialization will be passed through in 2027. “We hope that by granting the other half of the population we give the opportunity to take part in the birth control that we can have a profound influence on pregnancies,” says Walley. Another is Contraline, that is also develop A hydrogel – called Adam – and has been expected in clinical studies with FDA approval by 2027 for two years.
It may not be fair that male birth control is seen as a topic separated from abortion rights, while the birth control is guided by women as a political flash, but the introduction of male contraceptives can ultimately benefit women. Even founders of women’s health companies see it that way. “My passion project after this business would be to bring male birth control to the mainstream because I only think it is so unfair that everything falls on women,” says Jamie Norwood, a co -founder of the Winx women’s health brand.
“Male contraception is a female product of reproductive health,” argues Vahdat. “The goal will be not to obtain it more than male and female contraception. In the end, every contraception tries to prevent unintentional pregnancy.”
