Developing new contraceptive methods for women, especially those who are obese.
CCTN-CONTRACEPTIVE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM – CORE FUNCTION ACTIVITIES FOR SITES OF FEMALE CONTRACEPTIVE STUDIES - ALBERT EINSTEIN
This study is looking for ways to create safer birth control options that help prevent unintended pregnancies while also reducing the risk of blood clots, especially for women who are obese, and by joining in, you can help make these new methods available for everyone.

What this research studies
This research focuses on creating new contraceptive options that not only prevent unintended pregnancies but also minimize the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), particularly in obese women. The Contraceptive Clinical Trials Network (CCTN) aims to develop and implement clinical trial protocols that will facilitate the testing and approval of these new contraceptive methods. By participating in this research, patients may contribute to the advancement of safer and more effective contraceptive solutions tailored to their needs.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include women seeking effective contraception, particularly those who are obese or have medical conditions that make current contraceptive options unsuitable.
Not a fit: Patients who are not seeking contraception or who do not have any health conditions that affect contraceptive use may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to the development of safer contraceptive methods that are effective for women with varying health conditions.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promise in developing new contraceptive methods, indicating that this approach has the potential for success.
