CCTN-CONTRACEPTIVE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM-NICHD CONTRACEPTIVE CLINICAL TRIALS NETWORK-FEMALE SITES-CORE FUNCTION ACTIVITIES

有一种新的避孕方法的需求，可以提供有效的保护，防止意外怀孕，并降低静脉血栓栓塞（VTE）的风险，特别是对肥胖妇女。避孕临床试验网络（CCTN）的任务是制定方案并开展临床试验，以协助产品开发，最终目标是为妇女提供有效和安全的避孕措施。

There is a demand for new methods of contraception that can provide effective protection against unintended pregnancy as well as reduce the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), particularly for obese women. The mission of the Contraceptive Clinical Trials Network (CCTN) is to develop protocols and conduct clinical trials that will assist in product development with the end goal to provide effective and safe contraception for women. The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) has a mission to develop safe and effective contraceptives for women, including obese women and women who have medical conditions for which current contraceptive products are contraindicated.
