The University of Minnesota could soon begin human trials for the birth control pill for men developed at the school. Medical Chemistry Professor and department head Gunda Georg says trials in mice show the drug to be 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. Georg says the effects are 100% reversible within four to six weeks of discontinuing use. Your Choice Therapeutics has licensed the drug and is submitting a request to the FDA for phase one trials on men starting later this year.
