Femasys Inc., (Nasdaq: FEMY), a leading biomedical innovator
addressing significant unmet needs in women's health worldwide,
with a broad portfolio of disruptive, accessible, in-office
therapeutic and diagnostic products, announces the peer-reviewed
publication of positive data from its initial clinical trials of
FemBloc® permanent birth control in the Journal of Gynecology &
Reproductive Medicine (JGRM), a leading peer-reviewed journal
covering gynecology and reproductive medicine.
“This peer-reviewed publication detailing positive
prospective, multi-center clinical trial data for FemBloc brings
Femasys closer to achieving our goal of providing a safer, more
accessible in-office alternative to longstanding surgical
sterilization for permanent contraception, without compromising
effectiveness,” stated Kathy Lee-Sepsick, CEO of Femasys. “The
investigators who participated in these clinical trials share a
commitment to advancing women’s health by expanding contraceptive
options with FemBloc, a much-needed advancement in permanent birth
control.”
About the Data1
The publication entitled, “FemBloc Non-Surgical
Permanent Contraception for Occlusion of the Fallopian Tubes”
includes positive data from three initial clinical trials
(Clinicaltrials.gov NCT03067272, NCT03433911, and NCT04273594). The
pregnancy rate for FemBloc subjects, who met trial eligibility and
were determined bilaterally occluded after a confirmation test
three months post-FemBloc was 0% (95%UCB: 0.057; n=0/51). This is
significantly lower than the performance goal of 6% based on the
historical control, surgical sterilization (one-sided
p-value=0.0426). Safety reports were consistent with those
typically observed for intrauterine transcervical procedures, with
no on-going safety concerns through five years. There were no
reports of serious adverse events (n=0/229). The vast majority of
subjects stated they would probably or definitely recommend
FemBloc, and investigator satisfaction was similarly high.
About FemBloc
FemBloc® permanent birth control is a
revolutionary first-of-its-kind non-surgical approach, that
involves minimally-invasive delivery of a proprietary synthetic
tissue adhesive to occlude the fallopian tubes, fully degrading and
producing nonfunctional scar tissue, offering a safe and effective
option to reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy. In contrast to
historic surgical sterilization, the FemBloc approach offers a
non-surgical, more accessible in-office alternative with fewer
risks, contraindications, and substantially lower cost.
Participants are being enrolled in the FINALE pivotal clinical
trial (NCT05977751) for U.S. approval. Peer-reviewed publication of
positive data from its initial clinical trials of FemBloc have
demonstrated compelling effectiveness and five-year safety with
high satisfaction from both patients and practitioners.1 Learn more
