Healthcare Policies and Regulatory Landscape

Policy changes and Reimbursement scenario

More than 218 million women living in developing countries do not want to become pregnant but do not use effective contraceptive methods. For some of them, access to contraception is limited; for others, available methods are not acceptable or affordable. The goal of the Contraceptive Technology Innovation (CTI) Initiative is to develop new and strategically important contraceptives, through a strong focus on global partnerships, that ensures wide access to quality, affordable and acceptable products for those most in need. The CTI Initiative, a project funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is in Phase 2 of implementation. Overall, the CTI Initiative aims to develop new contraceptive products that are safe, effective, low-cost, easy to use and appealing to women in greatest need.

Investment in contraceptive research to identify new products for women has been limited in the pharmaceutical industry relative to investment in drug development for other indications. Pharmaceutical R&D for male contraception was active in the 1990s but was abandoned over a decade ago. The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) has supported a contraceptive development program since 1969. Through a variety of programs including research grants and contracts, NICHD has developed a pipeline of new targets/products for male and female contraception. A number of lead candidates are under evaluation in the NICHD Contraceptive Clinical Trials Network (CCTN)
