The global trial compares Amphora to Conceptrol®, the brand name of Nonoxynol-9, and the only spermicidal gel currently approved by the FDA.

"We are very pleased with the progress on the development of Amphora," said Tommy G. Thompson, former US Health and Human Services Secretary and Chairman of the Evofem Board of Directors.  "Evofem is committed to providing women around the world with greater contraceptive choice and we expect Amphora to fill a critical gap in the market as an inexpensive, easy-to-use product that is woman-controlled and used only when necessary, on-demand."

The Amphora clinical trial is being conducted by Health Decisions, a leading clinical research organization (CRO).  "We are delighted that we could accelerate development of Evofem's Amphora contraceptive," said Health Decisions CEO Michael Rosenberg, MD, MPH. "The same award-winning technology that we used in this study has enabled us to help many other sponsors bring drugs and medical devices to market ahead of projections."
