(PSC-0633) The Effects of a Male Contraceptive Gel (MENT) on Blood Pressure in Normal Men
Researchers are trying to develop a method of male birth control that stops the testes from making sperm. One drug being tested is a man-made hormone that is like testosterone, called MENT. MENT causes the body to make less sperm by decreasing the hormones your body needs to make sperm.
In an earlier study that treated men with MENT to lower sperm production, blood pressure for some men went up. Blood pressure measurements were still within the normal range, but this change needs further study. The main purpose of this study is to find out if MENT causes blood pressure to increase.
Participation in this study involves ten visits, including two screening visits, over the course of approximately 10 weeks.
Required procedures include blood, urine and sperm donations; physical examinations; medical history; and 24-hour blood pressure monitoring. Participants will be asked to apply the MENT gel daily and write down the applications in a diary.
