Currently the only trials available for RISUG are in India. The
malecontraeptives.org website has info on these trials and RISUG in
general. They also mention that there is a doctor Weiss, from Canada, who
has performed the procedure and has petitioned Health Canada to begin a
trial. There is nothing I could find on Health Canada's website to
indicate any progress. If you want any more information, or wish to
encourage this research, here is the contact information for Health
Canada.
