Summary
This is a research study of a new experimental vaginal gel that helps in vaginal pH
regulation and results in immobilization of spermatozoa by maintaining the normally low
vaginal pH, even in the presence of semen. This vaginal gel is called Phexxi™ (previously
known as Amphora) and was compared to a commercially available spermicide called Conceptrol®,
which contains nonoxynol 9; commonly abbreviated as N-9. Conceptrol® can help prevent
pregnancy. This study objective was to determine if this product prevents pregnancy when
inserted into the vagina before intercourse.
