First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 02, 2026 · Updated 32 times

Summary

This early-stage study tested a single injection of a hormone-based drug called DMAU in 106 healthy men to see if it is safe and tolerable as a potential male contraceptive. The drug aims to temporarily lower sperm production without affecting sexual function or mood. The study focused on safety and how the body processes the drug, not on preventing pregnancy directly.
