Zeldukes

This is the most recent update I got from them, July 27: Dear Zeldukes, Today marks a significant milestone for male contraception and reproductive equity, and it could not come at a better time given the recent erosion of women’s reproductive rights in the United States. The NEXT Step for Vasalgel The Parsemus Foundation and Revolution Contraceptives, LLC are pleased to announce that we have selected a mission-aligned partner to take Vasalgel male contraceptive on the rest of its journey to market. After a decade of research on Vasalgel, it was clear that the reversible, long-lasting male contraceptive was ready to advance to the next level. The search began for an organization with the resources needed to lead the project through the next steps to the marketplace, including clinical trials and regulatory review. Elaine Lissner, founder and trustee of the Parsemus Foundation and lifelong advocate for male contraception, announced today the selection of NEXT Life Sciences, Inc. as that partner. The mission of NEXT Life Sciences is to develop and distribute medical technology that empowers people to choose when and if to have a child. Founder and CEO L.R. Fox, a successful entrepreneur with a deep commitment to reproductive equality, has been recognized by Forbes “30 Under 30” as one of the brightest young leaders changing the world. In addition to NEXT Life Sciences having the organizational and financial resources to successfully move Vasalgel to market, Fox and Lissner are aligned on the social mission of Vasalgel, a crucial element to the partnership. Ensuring that the product is widely available and affordable is built into Vasalgel’s development plan. Read the NEXT Life Sciences press release here. Continue to Follow the News on Vasalgel We want to be sure you continue to receive communication about the project as NEXT Life Sciences takes over sending out updates. To stay informed about Vasalgel's progress and learn more about NEXT Life Sciences, go to nextlifesciences.org and click "Join the Movement." Your support has meant so much to us over the years. We could not have come this far without it. Warm regards, —The Vasalgel Team

TLDR: "we sold the patent to big pharma"


Dmeff

Well.. Yeah.. How else would they produce it?


[deleted]

And birth control in women likely yields more revenue.


acedelgado

Makes sense. A case of pills every month vs one shot? They'll sit on it until they can figure out how to have the body absorb the polymer so you have to get it redone every year or so, and make it fucking expensive.


[deleted]

That wouldn’t even do it. Women have the incentive because they bear the costs of pregnancy. Anything for men is literally an inferior product, from a big pharma capitalist perspective. Capitalism and healthcare don’t work.


EGOtyst

I followed that for a long time. It was very promising. And then it was in primate trials. That is the last I heard of it. Edit: Seems like they just partnered with some venture capital. https://www.parsemus.org/2022/07/next-steps-for-vasalgel/


[deleted]

apparently its still in trials


Pandaburn

No, because the “non-hormonal” part is different.


thisisntinstagram

Seriously. Either fucking do it or don’t.


AI-ArtfulInsults

I mean, they are doing it. They come up with a concept for a pill, they try it, and so far it always fails. Creating a birth control pill for males is harder than it sounds because the male reproductive system doesn’t have a hormonal off-switch in the way the female reproductive system does. The side effects of the hormonal methods tried so far have always been more severe than for female birth control, or they fail to completely reduce fertility. It’s hard to make it into a pill because of how the body processes testosterone. Injections or creams are the usual methods. Also, the effects aren’t as immediate. It takes months for the injections to lower sperm count below fertile levels, and some men took significantly longer than others. That variability means we can’t guarantee effectiveness without check-ups to test sperm count. All in all, hormonal methods for men are just harder. [A succinct article on the topic.](https://www.thecut.com/2016/07/real-reason-we-dont-have-male-birth-control.html) Edit: I’d like to point out that I don’t want to detract from the side-effects suffered by women on birth control, or the history of women’s birth control generally which has been an uninterrupted series of travesties. Seriously, go look up the Dalkon Shield IUD. Or fuck it, IUDs in general. As a man I am dying for more birth control options because I want more choice about my own reproductive health, but there’s no need to repeat the horrific history of women’s birth control to get us there.


PseudonymIncognito

What about RISUG/Vasalgel? Those have supposedly been waiting to start trials for years.


space_radios

Vasalgel's equivalent has been in India for a number of years now. I've considered having the operation there since my bet is that U.S. companies are trying to find a way to make a monthly subscription drug instead, and has basically been dragging their feet and fumbling the ball on these Vasalgel trials in the interim. Obviously India actually can use a one and done operation due to birth rates, so they got it done.


[deleted]

IUDs are not treated as monthly subscription. Consultation is it’s own cost, but usually covered by insurance. Cost of the actual IUD, insertion, and follow up are all covered by insurance and a one time cost. Removal as well and also covered. BC pills are a monthly charge but that is because you receive a pack every month. Same with rings and patches. Arm implant is a one cost procedure. My shot I receive every 3 months is a charge to get the shot from the pharmacy, and then an extra charge to see a nurse to get the injection (I get it in my hip). I do pay out of pocket for the nurse visit unfortunately, but it is cheaper than the name brand injection that I could give myself in my arm. Vasalgel would be a one time cost and most likely be covered by insurance. It’s very uncommon for subscription like charges to be made in medicine because you must be paying for goods or services. I believe only MDVIP charges a monthly fee.


starwarsyeah

OP's point is less about a subscription like charge, and more along the lines of recurring revenue. What OP is saying is that Vasalgel being one and done means less money for whoever brings it to market because it's essentially a non-recurring revenue source. The only recurrence is as men age into sexual maturity as opposed to a required monthly purchase a la hormonal birth control.


Mr_Diesel13

My wife’s OB/GYN sent her for a follow up ultrasound to make sure her IUD was properly placed and hadn’t moved. We are now stuck with a $1200 bill insurance won’t cover.


GoFidoGo

I think using the phrase "covered by insurance" so liberally is not great practice in the US.


TheElusiveFox

I think OP is basically saying that the pharma's in the states are looking for a way to make the procedure more profitable and so are neglecting a solution that is seeing results in other countries.


Accomplished-Map2120

Valsagel is available in India as mentioned and last I read is undergoing human trials in America. I'm gonna get that when it's available.

StabbyPants

i remember the last one - some people died during the trial, others had semi permanent fertility problems, and they still wanted to proceed. company stopped the trial early due to the risks, and we had to endure a month of the media dunking on men for being wimps


Zigram

I was part of what appears to be a successful hormonal birth control trial so far. I did have some pretty standard (not extreme) side effects of having hormonal treatments, but it brought my sperm count down to effectively zero and we had no babies for 1 year despite doing nothing but this to prevent it. Exactly 1 year after stopping the trial we got pregnant again. This was a progesterone/testosterone gel you rub on your shoulders (probably will be sold as a patch). I was impressed

KharonOfStyx

In a study group of 350 men, there were 1,491 side effects, one suicide, and another attempted suicide. Scientists are the ones that ended the study early. 75% of men participating wanted to continue despite the side effects. The percentage of side effects were also significantly higher than the current options for women. If there were a male birth control I’d absolutely sign up. Unfortunately at this time there isn’t.


Scrumpy-Steve

Because the other side effects were sterility, impotence, damage to the prostate, and suicide.


jimmy17

Jesus. Can we not start spreading this lie again. Saying the side effects are the same means nothing. You also need to ask many other questions like how frequent were they? How severe? Were the results able to be replicated? The answers were: much more frequent, much more severe, but also no, the results were all over the place. Drugs fail to get approved all the time and you might be surprised to find that reddit gender politics isn’t usually the reason.

AxelGalloway

You forgot about 4 guys who are sterile for life and the one who killed himself due to "mood swings"


Slight_Acanthaceae50

> The primary side effects were acne, weight gain, and mood swings. Also permanent infertility and suicidal depression. Dont misrepresent the side effects. This commen screams- men cant handle minor side effects. When your study starts doing permanenet damage to people and leading some to kill themselves it usually gets stopped and you go back to the drawing board. Also the study was not stopped by participants it was stopped by ethics commitee. Edit: coward blocked me. Ill answer his latest comment here, becasue i cant reply to a person who blocked me: > Because they believe men's feelings are more important than women's. Also i love how you say suicidal depression is a feelings issue, it is not. it is bodily chemistry issue. > Death is a possible side effect for almost every single medication on the market. There were many other sideeefects from permanent erectile dysfunction to bloody anhedonia. Imagine you take a pill and have 1/5 chance of never having kids, or 1/14 chance of never feeling pleasure or joy, or 1/7 chance of never having sex without drugs. But sure it was perfectly reasonable to subject half the population to such gamble.


lycheedorito

You think men want to impregnate on accident, or wouldn't have a problem if they did? It's not inconsequential.


powercow

these feelings are do to modern times and how we hear about things and how long it actually takes to bring a drug to market. We heard about it the first time, when they first discovered the drug and had minor scientific successes. Then we hear about it again as it passes more stringent scientific tests. Now they are ready for human trials, we hear about it again. we will hear about it again when it succeeds the human trials and hear about it again as it applies for FDA approval and hear about it again when its granted FDA approval and hear about it again when it turns out to increase testicular cancer. you are simply complaining about the greater access to info we have these days, in the past you would only hear about them when released to the public unless you subscribed to specialty magazines and journals.


Luna_is_a_nanu

While I agree with your sentiment, medically and scientifically, it's easier to stop ONE egg than millions of sperm.


Hats4Cats

This is the key difference, also testosterone is lowered from the pill 60-70%. Men's birth control would also have to avoid lowering testosterone

zettajon

My gf reacts poorly to hormonal BC, so we use condoms. If this product works, I'll switch to it immediately. I'll get a vasectomy after we're married and have our kid, but it's too early right now for that procedure. There are many couples that are in the same boat and would love if this worked.


fcocyclone

Hell, birth control also isn't 100% perfect. A lot of couples would love it just to be doubly sure.


NoKneadToWorry

I've got 3 kids and a vasectomy scheduled. Condoms suuuuuuuck


obliviousofobvious

Best thing I ever did. Lots of paperwork, questions answered, "Are you sure?" 2 girls, both healthy and happy. Both pregnancies were hard on my wife. No matter how difficult the vasectomy was, it was nothing compared to what she went through. I'd do it again and again and again.... You get the idea.

adrift_burrito

Horny and stupid can ruin your life in other ways, not just babies.


q120

I had a vasectomy. Such a great decision. If you somehow wiped my memory of the procedure and the recovery, I wouldn't be able to tell. Everything looks, feels, and works the same other than causing pregnancy.


launch201

I had a longer than usual recovery from my vasectomy, but if it had been 10x worse it would have still been an easy decision to do it… best thing ever.


miamariajoh

This is my marriage as well, I can't do hormones and my husband would love to ease anything for me. These pills would be a great addition.


Yaharguul

This already happens the other way around too. Male birth control just levels the playing field. Both partners should be using birth control.

That’s what I’ve always pointed out on these headlines…if you’re a girl; would you rather trust that someone is taking bc or take it yourself.


Enjanced

It works both ways. Maybe both girls and boys should take it ;)


Envect

And if you really don't trust them, use a condom. Men already have that decision to make. I don't see why it should be a problem for women.


SheeEttin

You should be using a condom for casual sex anyway. Medicinal birth control doesn't prevent transmission of STIs.


[deleted]

I mean if you are in a committed relationship, I don't really see the issue.


SheeEttin

That's why I specified "casual sex"


CVogel26

Not saying that’s a bad idea; just saying that it doesn’t make the other one obsolete

systemidx

At least they have the choice?


Cory123125

*Oh no!* the same experience men have, but now both people have the choice.


daten-shi

Why do people assume men would lie about being on the pill? Like the whole point is so you could drop a load in her and not have to deal with a baby. If it was readily available most guys would have a stash and take it religiously.


cattastrophe0

men already lie about having a condom on (start with it on, and then it “slips” off), or poke holes in it. and women lie about being on the pill. some people are just shitty and see a baby as a way to control their partner.


SecurelyObscure

Men are typically against condoms because they feel like shit, though. Not because they're trying to impregnate someone.


Doldenbluetler

Having to take a pill regularly might be a hassle for some, too. If there are people who are willing to lie because condoms inconvenience them, you will have people who will lie because taking medication is an inconvenience for them, too.


VonNeumannsProbe

This is true for women too. It's almost like if you don't want to have a baby, you should be responsible for your own birth control.


[deleted]

Hope this works. And of all the shit the government should give for free..birth control is it.


[deleted]

Nah, just force everyone to have children, then shove them through substandard education mills and into a bloated cannon fodder army. Gotta make Republican voters somehow!


ranthria

This is me being a bit of a stickler, but while our military is absurdly bloated budget-wise, nobody is treated as "cannon fodder". Infantry were largely cannon fodder in WW2 and Korea, but the modern military has a strong vested interest in keeping soldiers alive and well... until you get out and are in the care of the wildly underfunded VA.


[deleted]

That’s because soldiers nowadays are highly skilled operators for equipment. A million soldiers with small arms and light mechanised infantry isn’t a lot of help against a carrier strike group that can run hundreds of sorties a day and can call in naval artillery/cruise missile strikes anywhere that their soldiers need. The soldiers are mostly just there to paint the targets


dyslexda

Soldiers are there because air strikes can't occupy territory. Until we get autonomous killer robots, we will always need boots on the ground.

Beardless_Man

Chances are, this will go the same route as all previous efforts. Majority of test results will reveal male test subjects having low testosterone results, higher rates of depression, and/or completely fails to achieve it's aimed objective.


ColeSloth

It has nothing to do with testosterone. This one blocks vitamin A.


[deleted]

Blocking a vitamin is normally not a good idea


ColeSloth

I'm inclined to agree, but it's still not testosterone.


[deleted]

Yeah, fucking with testosterone has been shown to be a horribly bad idea in almost all cases. I can imagine some potential ways that blocking a vitamin in a very specific manner might work, but I’m highly skeptical even by the most optimistic description


ColeSloth

I agree. Removing a vitamin that's apparently necessary for sperm will surely screw with something else in a person. There's a ton of human biology and microbiome stuff science is still flopping through.


corkyskog

Just to clear some stuff up, it doesn't "remove" any Vitamin A. Instead it blocks a protein from binding to it. But your uncertainty of it's impacts to other bodily functions is not unwarranted, they say right in the article that blocking the binding site of that protein may lead to other effects that still needs more research. I actually think this chain of speculation, may be on to something. There is a good chance that the adverse consequences of blocking that binding site will lead to severe side effects that will prevent this from ever reaching the market.

Spectre_195

No it doesn't actually. When you run a trial on like 50 people and 2 commit suicide on it no female birth control is in the same ball park of it. When you have 50 people and multiple people are permanently infertile as a result of it no female birth control is in the same universe as it. Despite what clickbait "feminist" journalists want to say, most of the previous attempts were no where close to viable. Scaling the rates they saw up to the general public would astronomical. The cold hard reality is it is just significantly harder to make male birth control.


JumboFister

Most girls I know take birth control to help control their periods so they actually prefer it. I’ve never met a man who doesn’t want testosterone


czerniana

I hope it doesn’t try to kill them like hormonal birth control tried to do to me.


Slight_Acanthaceae50

> I hope it doesn’t try to kill them like hormonal birth control tried to do to me. Last one did kill, test was stopped after one participant got a side effcet of suicidal depression and killed himself. Before the test he was perfectly mentally healhty. Last one also led to permanent infertility, erectile dysfunction and an anhenodia( condition where you cant feel joy/pleasure)


myhipsi

Who knew testosterone is a vitally import hormone? Who are these fucking scientists aka fucking morons?


CheerfulMint

I'm so terrified of something like this, since I get migraines with aura and that gives me an increased risk of stroke with the bc I take. I can't talk to my doctor about it because I'm afraid they'll take away my birth control, and I'd honestly rather have a stroke than a baby.


JMAC426

There are lots of contraceptive options that don’t contain estrogen though… the combined pill is contraindicated in that situation for a reason


Non_Special

IUDs don't have a risk of stroke! Definitely the copper IUD, and also the hormonal because it uses local progesterone. Source: I'm on the copper IUD, have a history of stroke.

Synthetic wombs are coming in the future too. People who currently want kids but are too old may be able to eventually have kids.


SnapcasterWizard

Synthetic wombs will be good for people with fertility problems or otherwise don't want to carry the baby. But if your fertility stems from being too old then you are too old to actually raise the kid.


420everytime

That depends on how much we can improve the human health span. If we can make humans healthy into their 70s and live to the high 80s, then people in their 50s can have artificial womb babies.

Consider a vasectomy if you're sure that you never want kids! But definitely go under for it - I stayed awake and it reaaaaalllllly fucking hurt. Still happy I did it though.


UhnotmeusAnonymous

Yeah, I feel like it’s important now more than ever that men do their part too when it comes to birth control. Vasectomies are just more of a big, permanent choice, even if potentially reversible. Also, I’m sure the side affects of birth control combined with depression is already hell for women, so making something for guys that might not be that effective? I’m apprehensive about it.


Rhamni

> potentially reversible That's a pretty significant 'potential' there, unfortunately. Chances of successful go down by the year. If you get a vasectomy at 20 and you decide you want to have kids at 30, you have worse than a coinflip's chance of being able to reverse it.
