Psoriasis drug may affect birth control: small study investigates
NCT ID NCT07181343
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This completed Phase 1 trial in 18 healthy women aged 18–40 tested whether taking the experimental psoriasis drug HS-10374 changes how the body absorbs and clears the birth control pill Yasmin. Participants took Yasmin alone and then again after a course of HS-10374. Researchers measured drug levels in the blood to see if there is a meaningful interaction. The results will guide safe co-prescribing for women with psoriasis who need contraception.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- HS-10374 tablets and drospirenone/ethinyl estradiol (Yasmin) tablets
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study will show whether HS-10374 changes how the body processes Yasmin, helping doctors prescribe both safely together for women with psoriasis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study in healthy volunteers, not patients. It only measures drug levels, not real-world effectiveness or side effects. Results may not apply to everyone.
