We’re proud to welcome Peter Barton Hutt, former Chief Counsel to the FDA and a pioneer of modern food and drug regulation, to the Advisory Board of NEXT Life Sciences.
Peter shaped the FDA’s medical device guidance that continues to set the standard today. His expertise will be invaluable as we advance Plan A™, the first long-acting, reversible male contraceptive designed to bring balance and shared responsibility to family planning.

@planaformen is working toward a new era of male contraception, creating options that expand choice and reshape how couples approach family planning and sexual health.

“It’s like giving men a remote control for their choices.” A great description from Myles Sabiniano of Xraised - summing up what we’re developing with @planaformen

Our CEO, Dr. Darlene Walley, sat down with Myles to break down how @planaformen is flipping the script on birth control — with long-acting, reversible male contraception. xraised.com/videos/revolutio…

This isn’t just a bold innovation—this is the future of reproductive health.
@blksheepcapital is proud to be an early investor in @NextLifeScience , a company reshaping what male birth control could look like with @planaformen. Imagine a world where men have a simple, non-hormonal, reversible option—no more relying solely on female partners or permanent decisions.
Takashi Y. lays it out perfectly in this article. The science is real. The demand is growing. And the market is massive.
Disruption is coming to a space that’s been ignored for decades. I’m grateful to be backing founders like L.R. Fox who have the guts to challenge the norm and lead the way.

With clinical trials kicking off in Australia this month and more plans for Canada in 2025, NEXT Life Sciences is now targeting a potential FDA submission in 2027 — a milestone that would make Plan A™ a game-changer for male contraception.

🔑 Key Highlights from the Discussion:
- Flexible & Reversible: Blocks sperm with Vasalgel®, reversible in minutes.
- High Demand: Vasectomy requests have spiked 1000% post-Roe v. Wade.
- Affordable Access: Without insurance, the cost could approximate $8/month over 10 years, with the potential for full coverage by insurance in the future.
- Global Potential: Plans to expand beyond the U.S. to Europe, Australia, and more.
