@phitpharmacist: What should we name the male birth control pill? YCT-529, an experimental hormone-free male birth control pill works by blocking (spe rm) production (by blocking a vitamin A metabolite), and it just passed its first safety test in humans. The trial included 16 people and was only intended to test whether the drug reached adequate levels in the body, as well as whether it triggered any serious side effects, such as concerning changes in heart rate, hormone function, inflammation, mood or se x ua l function. Across the doses tested, no significant side effects were observed. That result tees up the pill to be tested in larger trials that will now look at both safety and efficacy. What should we name it?
