New male contraceptive device aims to be reversible
NCT ID NCT07361120
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new device called Plan A that blocks sperm from passing through the vas deferens, similar to a vasectomy, but designed to be reversed later. Forty healthy men aged 25 to 65 will receive the device and be monitored for safety and effectiveness. The goal is to see if it can reliably prevent pregnancy and then be reversed to restore fertility.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Plan A Male Contraceptive System (a device that blocks the vas deferens)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a long-term, reversible male contraceptive option similar to a vasectomy but designed to be reversed.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 40 participants. The device may not reliably block sperm or be safely reversible, and side effects are still being studied.
