Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Health
  • Contraceptive Development
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Contraceptive research has declined in the U.S. but continues internationally.
  • Current research emphasizes long-acting, non-coital methods.
  • Existing barrier methods show poor adherence and acceptability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current landscape of contraceptive research and development.
  • To highlight advancements in long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs).
  • To identify future directions and potential innovations in male contraception.

Main Methods:

  • Review of ongoing international contraceptive research.
  • Analysis of clinical data on vaginal rings and intrauterine devices.
  • Exploration of hormonal approaches for male contraception.

Main Results:

  • Progestogen-only and progestogen-estrogen vaginal rings are under development.
  • Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine devices demonstrate high efficacy and potential for reducing pelvic inflammatory disease.
  • Male contraceptive development shows promise with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists/antagonists and testosterone.

Conclusions:

  • International research is driving innovation in long-acting contraceptives.
  • There is a significant need for improved and acceptable barrier contraceptives.
  • Future male contraceptive strategies hold potential for expanding reproductive options.
