CCTN - CONTRACEPTIVE CLINICAL TRIALS NETWORK - CORE - FEMALE

国家卫生研究院(NIH)，尤尼斯·肯尼迪·施莱弗国家儿童健康和人类发展研究所(NICHD)，是开展基础和临床研究、开发新避孕药具和评估现有避孕和生殖健康方法的联邦牵头机构。NICHD内的人口研究中心的重要目标是通过使用合同和赠款开发新的避孕药具。在CPR内，避孕和生殖健康处(CRHB)长期以来一直支持几个临床前避孕测试设施以及合成化学和合成肽配方设施。 为了进一步扩大他们的避孕开发能力，CRHB于1996年建立了NICHD避孕临床试验网络(CCTN)。目前CCTN已经进行了避孕方法的一期、二期和三期临床试验。 随着CCTN的重新竞争，临床站点将对各种新的或现有的女性避孕方法进行I、II、III和IV期临床试验

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), is the lead Federal agency for the conduct of basic, clinical research to develop new contraceptives and to evaluate existing methods of contraception and reproductive health. The Center for Population Research (CPR), within NICHD has the important goal of developing new contraceptives through the use of contracts and grants. Within CPR, the Contraception and Reproductive Health Branch (CRHB) has long supported several preclinical contraceptive testing facilities as well as facilities for synthetic chemical and synthetic peptide formulation. To further expand their contraceptive development capabilities, in 1996 CRHB established the NICHD Contraceptive Clinical Trials Network (CCTN). The current CCTN has conducted Phase I, II, and III clinical trials of contraceptive methods. With the recompetition of the CCTN, clinical sites will perform Phase I, II, III, and Phase IV clinical trials of a wide variety of new or existing female contraceptive methods
