Frequently asked questions about Combined contraceptives

What is Combined contraceptives?

Combined contraceptives are a small molecule therapeutic candidate developed by Viatris Inc. (ticker VTRS). The program is in Phase 1 clinical development, and the specific indication being pursued has not been disclosed. The drug is also known as combined oral contraceptives (COC).

Who makes Combined contraceptives?

Combined contraceptives are being developed by Viatris Inc., which trades under the ticker VTRS. Viatris is the sponsor of the clinical program for this small molecule candidate.

What phase is Combined contraceptives in?

Combined contraceptives are in Phase 1 clinical development. The program has one completed Phase 1 trial and no active trials. The drug is investigational and is not approved for any indication based on the available development information.

What clinical trials are Combined contraceptives in?

Combined contraceptives have been studied in one completed Phase 1 trial, NCT04255277. That trial enrolled 97 healthy volunteers in France, was randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, and examined the effect of cenerimod on cardiac electrical activity, on oral contraceptive use in women, and on charcoal-based elimination of cenerimod.

Is Combined contraceptives the same as combined oral contraceptives (COC)?

Yes. Combined contraceptives are also known as combined oral contraceptives, abbreviated COC. Both names refer to the same Viatris Inc. (VTRS) small molecule development program, which is currently in Phase 1.
