Trials often impose heavy contraception rules and exclude anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, even when the drug is unlikely to be harmful. Sensible, evidence-based rules and pregnancy registries would include more young women and produce data they currently lack.
Contraception requirements are set from the drug's actual reproductive toxicology rather than a blanket demand for two contraceptive methods; breastfeeding exclusion is replaced by lactation PK studies where feasible; and pregnancy exposure registries are funded for oncology drugs so that the inevitable exposures generate data. Adolescent and young adult women are disproportionately affected by current rules.
