In addition to NBC News coverage last week, we also had Arizona's Family CBS News tour our Flagstaff lab with our Chief Science Officer, Robert S. Kellar, Ph.D., where he and the team are hard at work optimizing and testing Plan A™!

Dr. Kellar shared, “Having the ability to develop new technology that gives not just men but partners, couples, some other options to consider in family planning is a really big deal.” With that importance being highlighted by our CEO L.R. Fox as "[enabling] people to proactively plan when they’re going to get pregnant.”

Have you ever wondered what it looks like in the labs where our leading scientists are making breakthroughs in male contraception? 

Melissa Sevigny, a reporter with KNAU, Arizona’s NPR affiliate, toured our Flagstaff lab where we’re working on Plan A, the reversible, long-lasting birth control for men:

“The goal is ten years of protection with one injection, reversible at any time with a second injection that dissolves the material and flushes it out. It’s called a LARC – Long Acting, Reversible Contraception. NEXT Life says it’s the holy grail of birth control.

L.R. Fox, the NEXT Life Sciences, Inc. CEO, sees a desperate need for products like Plan A, which he intends to bring to human clinical trials within the year. ‘The human right to choose when and if to have a child, is so fundamental, and yet is lacking in every single country, even the most industrialized countries in the world,’ Fox says.

For him, this issue is personal. ‘Coming from foster care myself, seeing the devastating impact of unplanned pregnancies, I chose to get a vasectomy,’ Fox says. ‘It’s a burden that I carry every day, knowing that I might not be able to ever have a child, because Plan A didn’t exist and wasn’t an option for me.’

And there are plenty of signs that Fox isn’t alone in wanting more choices. Though Plan A isn’t yet on the market, fifty thousand people have signed up for the interest list.”

We are extremely grateful and excited to announce that NEXT Life Sciences, Inc. has entered into a partnership with Male Contraceptive Initiative to receive a grant of $400K to support clinical trial research toward Plan A™!

Male Contraceptive Initiative (MCI), is the largest 501(c)(3) non-profit in the world dedicated to advancing male contraception. They accomplish their vision, “Reproduction Autonomy for All”, by bringing new male contraceptives to market through direct funding, technical support, research, and advocacy. This investment from MCI will help accelerate our team's progress toward giving men equitable access to participate in family planning with an option like Plan A™.

MCI Executive Director Heather Vahdat, MPH, shared: “The number of men and their partners expressing the desire for male contraceptive options continues to increase, and part of MCI’s dedication to accelerating product development includes thinking proactively about how to ensure a variety of delivery options. We are pleased to be able to get behind the talent and energy of NEXT Life Sciences in order to achieve a real vision for a shared contraceptive future.”
