Summary

This trial tests FemBloc, a device placed into the fallopian tubes through the vagina to block them permanently, without surgery. About 573 women aged 21-50 who want permanent birth control will be followed for up to 5 years to see how well it prevents pregnancy. The main goal is to measure the pregnancy rate after one year.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
FemBloc device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer women a non-surgical, permanent birth control option that avoids incisions and recovery time.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage, single-arm trial without a comparison group. The device may fail to block the tubes, leading to pregnancy, or cause side effects like pain or infection.
