We're making the clinical trial batch of Vasalgel this month! And we need your help!

Parsemus Foundation is a small organization that's determined to provide a big service: develop a new, long-acting, potentially reversible male contraceptive. Your support makes a difference -- demonstrating that there's a market for it, and spreading the word to your own networks (thank you!).

Donations big and small have also been critical in keeping Vasalgel moving -- for example funding much of the 1-year baboon trial. Now we're at another critical step: Making and filling the gel for the upcoming clinical trial. At least we're not making some expensive biologic or gene therapy! But it's still a big bill: $127,000 to mix the polymer and fill the vials to regulatory standards.

Have you donated yet this year? If not, your donation now will ensure that Vasalgel will make it to the clinical trial, the next important milestone in its journey to market.

It's hard to believe how much there is to be done in the next three months in order to start enrolling men in the first clinical trial by the end of the year.  As noted above, the clinical-grade batch of Vasalgel to be used in the trial is being produced and filled into vials over the next couple of weeks.  Then part of the material gets rushed across the country for stability studies, while part goes for final toxicology studies. Meanwhile we aim to be talking to regulators in July about the trial -- and July is just a couple months away!
