Summary:
The AMPOWER study is testing the safety and effectiveness of Amphora®, a new, investigational, non-hormonal form of birth control that is to be used up to 1 hour before sex. The birth control is believed to work by maintaining the pH of the vagina in order to prevent sperm mobility and preventing sperm from reaching an egg.
You may be able to take part in the AMPOWER study if you meet the necessary criteria for participation. If you:
- are between 18 and 35 years of age
- are sexually active, at risk of pregnancy, and desiring contraception
- have been in a steady relationship with the same man for at least 3 months
you may be able to take part. There are other study criteria you must meet.
Qualified Participants May Receive:
If you join the study, your participation time will be 7 menstrual cycles with three study visits plus a phone call with the study team. In addition, you will have one final visit about 14 to 30 days after your last cycle. You will receive study medications and medical tests at no cost to you. There are other assessments and tests you will undergo at each study visit. Additional tests and procedures will be explained to you if you decide you want to learn more.
