    Default So why is Big Pharma not interested in this male contraceptive?

    From http://www.nationalpost.com/m/wp/new...any-to-sell-it

    Doctors are on the cusp of launching the first new male contraceptive in more than a century. But rather than a Big Pharma lab, the breakthrough is emerging from a university startup in the heart of rural India.





    Years of human trials on the injectable, sperm-zapping product are coming to an end, and researchers are preparing to submit it for regulatory approval. Results so far show it’s safe, effective and easy to use-but gaining little traction with drugmakers. That’s frustrating its inventor, who says his technique could play a crucial role in condom-averse populations.
    A new birth control method for men has the potential to win as much as half the $10 billion market for female contraceptives worldwide and cut into the $3.2 billion of annual condom sales, businesses dominated by pharmaceutical giants Bayer AG, Pfizer Inc. and Merck & Co., according to estimates from the last major drug company to explore the area. India’s reversible procedure could cost as little as $10 in poor countries, and may provide males with years-long fertility control, overcoming compliance problems and avoiding ongoing costs associated with condoms and the female birth-control pill, which is usually taken daily.
    It could also ease the burden on the 225 million women in developing countries, who the World Health Organization says have an unmet need for contraception. Yet so far only a U.S. non-profit has taken up development of the technology abroad.
    For Sujoy Guha, 76, the biomedical engineer who invented the product, the challenge is to find a company that wants to sell it. But male contraception is an area Big Pharma has so far shown little interest in.
    “The fact that the big companies are run by white, middle-aged males who have the same feeling-that they would never do it-plays a major role,” said Herjan Coelingh Bennink, a gynecology professor who helped develop the contraceptives Implanon and Cerazette as head of research and development in women’s health for Organon International from 1987 to 2000. “If those companies were run by women, it would be totally different.”
    Guha’s technique for impairing male fertility relies on a polymer gel that’s injected into the sperm-carrying tubes in the scrotum. The gel, which has the consistency of melted chocolate, carries a positive charge that acts as a buffer on negatively charged sperm, damaging their heads and tails, and rendering them infertile.

    The treatment, known as reversible inhibition of sperm under guidance, or RISUG, is reversed with a second shot that breaks down the gel, allowing sperm to reach the penis normally.
    The expected launch of RISUG over the next two years will contribute to the Indian contraceptive market’s 17 percent growth through 2021, according to a report last year from Pharmaion Consultants, based near New Delhi.
    The procedure is 98 percent effective at preventing pregnancy-about the same as condoms if they are used every time-and has no major side effects, according to R. S. Sharma, head of reproductive biology and maternal health at the Indian Council of Medical Research. About 540 men have received it in India, where it continues to prevent pregnancies in their partners 13 years after treatment, he said.
    A submission to regulators this year will seek approval for RISUG as a permanent method of birth control. That will be appended with clinical data supporting reversibility, Sharma said. India has more married women with an unmet need for family planning than any other country, and social stigma and a lack of privacy in stores has kept condom use to less than 6 percent.Read More: Durex Wants to Break India’s Condom-Buying Taboo
    Globally, men tend to take a back seat in matters of contraception. Almost 60 percent of women in spousal relationships used the contraceptive pill or some other form of modern contraception worldwide in 2015, according to a United Nations report. In contrast, 8 percent relied on their male partner using a condom.
    Sumit Dayal / BloombergA sign for the reversible inhibition of sperm under guidance (RISUG) male contraceptive treatment research and development laboratory stands at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur campus, in Kharagpur, West Bengal, India, on Feb. 16, 2017. The new birth control method for men could win as much as half the $10 billion market for female contraceptives worldwide and cut into the $3.2 billion of annual condom sales, businesses dominated by pharmaceutical giants Bayer, Pfizer and Merck.

    A new option for male birth control could garner as much as half the female contraceptives market, according to research by Organon in the 1990s, when the Dutch drugmaker partnered with Germany’s Schering AG on the last major effort to develop a male birth control pill. Demand would come from couples in long-term relationships looking to share family-planning responsibilities and single men looking for an alternative to condoms to prevent an unintended pregnancy from casual sex, Coelingh Bennink said.
    Still, there were questions at Organon about whether it would be worthwhile financially to develop a new entrant in the low-margin contraceptives market, and the project was eventually shelved, he said.
    Efforts on a hormone-based male contraceptive continued in 2008 in a study co-funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and UN agencies that was published in October. While the injected regimen’s efficacy was “relatively good” compared to other methods, the study was terminated early after a safety review. The authors noted a “relatively high” frequency of mild to moderate mood disorders, sparking a media uproar over perceived double standards in the development of contraceptives because the side effects seemed similar to those women experience on the pill.
    Bayer, which bought Schering in 2006, stopped all research and development activities around male fertility control about a decade ago, said Astrid Kranz, a company spokeswoman.
    Although an earlier clinical trial involving the administration of hormones via injection and an implant was “efficient, with a tolerable side effect profile,” Kranz said, the Leverkusen, Germany-based drugmaker wasn’t convinced this “inconvenient” regimen would find sufficient market acceptance.

    Male contraception isn’t an area of active research for Pfizer and Merck either, representatives said. Both companies sell products for female fertility control.
    Side effects aside, it would take about $100 million and 10 years to bring a hormone-based male birth control pill to market-a low-priority undertaking for pharmaceutical executives, Coelingh Bennink said.
    That’s now the dilemma Indian inventor Guha faces.
    “In doing anything abroad, quite substantial money is required, and that can only come from the pharmaceutical industry,” Guha said, surrounded by dusty stacks of paper, books and prototype inventions that bury every surface in his office at the Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur, about 80 miles (130 kilometers) west of Kolkata.
    In the face of disinterest from the pharmaceutical industry, Guha licensed the technology to the Parsemus Foundation, a U.S.-based non-profit, to help establish a market for it outside India, he said.
    Parsemus is working on its own version, called Vasalgel, that it plans to manufacture and distribute at near cost-or potentially $10 to $20 per person in low- and middle-income countries-and $400 to $600 per person in wealthier markets, Elaine Lissner, the foundation’s founder, said in an email.
    The foundation, based in Berkeley, California, is seeking donations to fund costly human trials starting next year after a study in 16 rhesus monkeys published last month showed Vasalgel was successful in preventing conception while the primates fraternized with females for 5 to 24 months.
    Guha meantime has registered a startup in India called IcubedG Ideas Pvt. Ltd. through which he is pushing ahead with introducing the technology in his home country. He leased space in a New Delhi industrial zone in January after developing a method of mass production using a government grant. Three couples who participated in the clinical trials gathered in his Kharagpur office in February to attest to the need.
    Kinkar Ari, 39, a day laborer from a nearby village, said that when he and his wife decided they didn’t want more children they had a choice between tubal ligation for her or vasectomy for him, but neither could afford the time off to recuperate from the surgery.
    When a public health worker told the couple about Guha’s promising alternative, Ari decided to enroll in the study. The injection took 15 minutes with local anesthesia, and after half an hour of observation at the clinic, he said, he was able to walk the 2.5 kilometers home. Two days later, he was back at work. Ari was so enthused by the procedure he convinced two other couples to have it done, he said.
    Such stories encourage Guha to persist, he said, even though patents on his invention have long since expired and he won’t see any personal financial gain even if it takes off worldwide.
    “Why should the burden be borne by the female only?” he said in his office after the three couples had left. “There has to be an equal partnership.”

    Because men would rather be right about women being cum trapping gold diggers than take responsibility for their actions.

    Because male contraceptive would probably contradict with Viagra and horny men would rather have stiff dicks and "spread their seed" than have no sperm.

    Because in a misogynistic country if any partner of a relationship has to be affected by side affects of pharmaceuticals (for the sake of family planning) it's going to be the woman.

    I could also see the competition with condoms and lots of reckless men being like hey let me fuck you raw I'm on the male pill and can't get you pregnant - while totally disregarding std transmission thus possibly creating a rise in sexually transmitted diseases.

    Agree with wreckless raw fucking, std/hiv spreading. There's lots of jerks out there now, who remove condoms while having sex and will probably try to justify it being ok bc he's on the pill.

    I would not trust a man to be responsible enough to take birth control, unless it was a shot they get like depo that last 3-4 months or longer (in one shot) and they could produce paperwork. A man saying "I'm on the pill (or whatever)" to get some a** doesn't seem realistic. They don't have to worry about a pregnancy, so the responsibility isn't as "in your face." Still would need condoms of course and plan B just in case....dating these days sucks.

    ^^^^exactly. I'd be like oh you're on the male birth control cool cause where still going to use condoms anyway.

    I would never rely on a mans word he took the pill. I'd literally need to see the sealed pack from the pharmacist and watch him take the pill everyday (better not miss a day) before I believed him.

    If it was a shot I'd need to see the doctor administer the shot and make the dude set a iCal reminder the day before the next shot is due then send me a link to subscribe to the calendar - yes it's crucial and I ain't got time to be trapped for 18+ years with a scandalous dude and a bad assed kid.

    I'm guessing that big pharma isn't interested because they don't think that they can make money on it, pure and simple. I doubt that misogyny among corporate pharmaceutical executives has anything to do with it. IMHO green trumps all in these places. If they thought that they could make a shit ton of money on it, you'd bet that one of the big pharma players would have started running with this a long time ago.

    I think there are a lot of cultural factors in play here, including the following:

    1. Yes, there is some resistance by American men in doing anything that involves a sharp object near their scrotums. Some of this resistance may evolve around psychological issues with the thought of being neutered. But right or wrong, big pharma already sees the low vasectomy stats and probably figures that needles shooting gel into sperm ducts likely won't be much more popular.

    2. Many insurance plans cover female birth control, but not male procedures. This currently makes female birth control a much more cost effective choice for many couples. This reality is reflected in the vasectomy stats I discussed above, where almost all of the guys who choose to do so have higher incomes - the procedure isn't cheap.

    3. If they still have to wear condoms anyway for STD reasons, what's the upside in letting someone stab or cut into their testicles?

    I'm not trying to justify the right or wrong in why there might not be a big market for this stuff here in this day and age, but rather just discussing what I see as the hurdles.

    I can see why it wouldn't be as popular as the pill... women are the ones at risk for pregnancy, a guy can bail anytime if he wants to. So we take our pills religiously, while most guys don't really care. And if a guy wants to sleep around while using this contraceptive, he still needs a condom for STD protection (like with a vasectomy). So this isn't really an alternative to female BC... it's an alternative to a painful vasectomy.

    Notice how as mentioned above, currently women are the ones to bear the risks of side effects from pharmaceutical birth control. At least if the male birth control were an option, the couple could have an honest family planning discussion about who will take the medical birth control and to what extent the side affects and adverse reactions would impact the decision.

    I'm going to also guess part of it is a resistance from women and a lack of trust that men will use it honestly and responsibly.

    You could say that in reverse too. Plenty of men that don't trust women to take birth control responsibly. Whether it's taking a pill every day same time to renewing patches and shots on time. But in 2017 female bc is still the only pharmaceutical option?!? And I doubt it's because they want us to believe women are more trustworthy than men are at family planning.

    I'm surprised those men's rights activists and rich men who claimed women trapped them aren't pushing harder for male pharmaceutical contraceptive

    Birth control was originally meant for men but they changed it to females because men "expected a better quality of life". They also experimented with the pill on South American /central American poor women before making it to the US. Birth control has a gross sexist and racist history.

    I have a renegade theory that "the powers that be" (Illuminati?...lol) made sure birth control became widespread because historical events like the 2 world wars & the flu pandemics taught science a lot about "too many poor people too close together= problems." I'm not hating. In fact some nations have had positive social trends because they accept the logic of family planning & proper medical care (vaccines.)

    Topical Anesthesia. Voila!

    And there are countless men getting sliced in the nuts for vasectomy but you don't see them complaining.

    Also I'll trade any man for his testicles to get a one second shot in the nuts vs. pain of hours long labor and the brutal childbirth and weeks long recovery not to mention possible mommy makeover surgery once the kid stretches that pussy stomach and tits out.

    To give some men credit, men with serious zeal for good judgement do get vasectomies. My ex had one. It made life awesome. If we ever get back together it's a "plus" to me.

    Not everyone is obsessed with making babies. Seriously.

    I think there are men who would like Vasalgel. It seems less invasive then a vasectomy and isn't permanent so the man can still have children later on if he and his partner choose. It gives men an intermediate option between condom use and permanent sterilization. Also for couples that really don't want a kid both partners could be on birth control, that way if one person's birth control fails for what ever reason they are still covered.

    LOL. Men are such babies. In the meantime, women have to go through pregnancy and all that it entails and give birth, which is no easy task to say the least. A "shot in the nuts" is nothing in comparison. *eye roll*

    I still vote for vasectomies though.

    Exactly!! ^ God I hate hearing any man complain or hear their reasons why there shouldn't be male birth control. Men are selfish when it comes to this stuff. God forbid they do anything to prevent pregnancies that might make them slightly uncomfortable. The most work they're willing to do is roll a condom on and off. Meanwhile women are laying in the doctors office spread eagle and propped open with a metal instrument so the doctor can insert an IUD. Or if bc fails bring on all the pain that comes with being pregnant and having a baby.

    With all the options of female birth control ranging from taking pills to IUD's I'm sure there could be easier forms of bc created for men. Misogyny definitely is playing a roll in this.

    I've managed not to get anyone pregnant in 39 years without having to take a shot in the nuts, i look forward to continuing the streak for 39 more.
