Frequently asked questions about Combined contraceptives

What is Combined contraceptives used for?

Combined contraceptives are being studied in healthy subjects as part of a clinical trial evaluating their interaction with the investigational drug cenerimod. The study assesses the effect of cenerimod on the electrical activity of the heart and on the use of oral contraceptives in women, as well as the effect of charcoal on cenerimod elimination.

Who makes Combined contraceptives?

Combined contraceptives are being developed by Viatris Inc., a company traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker VTRS. The product is in Phase 1 clinical development for use in healthy subjects.

What phase is Combined contraceptives in?

Combined contraceptives are in Phase 1 clinical development. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. One Phase 1 trial has been completed, and the product remains in early-stage clinical testing.

What clinical trials is Combined contraceptives in?

Combined contraceptives are associated with one completed Phase 1 clinical trial, NCT04255277. This study enrolled 97 participants in France and evaluated the effect of cenerimod on heart electrical activity, oral contraceptive use in women, and the impact of charcoal on cenerimod elimination.

Is Combined contraceptives the same as cenerimod?

No, Combined contraceptives are not the same as cenerimod. Combined contraceptives are the oral contraceptive product being studied in the trial, while cenerimod is the investigational drug being tested. The trial evaluates how cenerimod affects the use of combined oral contraceptives in healthy women.
