Contraceptive Vaginal Gel Study

Contraceptive Vaginal Gel Study

Our research study is testing an innovative contraceptive vaginal gel that is designed to prevent pregnancy while reducing common vaginal infections at the same time. This product also shows promise in reducing the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. This double purpose contraceptive would offer great advantages to women who have trouble convincing their partner to use condoms.

What Couples will Do in the Vaginal Gel Study

You will be randomly assigned to use either the experimental Amphora Vaginal Gel or the FDA approved Conceptrol® Vaginal Gel as your only method of birth control for six months or at least six menstrual cycles. You may also be invited to participate in the study for a full year. The female partner will receive gynecologic exams and tests including a blood sample. You will be asked to complete study diaries every day to track your use of the study assigned vaginal gel. The diaries will record when you have vaginal intercourse, your menstrual periods and other information.

Compensation

Couples can earn up to $700 over the course of the study. All study supplies and exams are provided free of charge.
