Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
â?¢Endpoint of the study is to compare the spermicidal activity (average percent of spermatozoa motility) of test and reference products. â?¢All data will be adjusted to a control (semen only) motile fraction for each experiment to permit comparison of data. Spermicidal activity of test and reference formulation will be compared.
