Brief Summary

The purpose of the Apremilast Pregnancy Exposure Registry is to monitor planned and unplanned pregnancies exposed to apremilast and to evaluate the safety of this medication relative to specified pregnancy outcomes, and to evaluate potential effects of prenatal apremilast exposure on infant health status through one year of age.

Detailed Description

The Apremilast Pregnancy Exposure Registry (Registry) is a United States (U.S.) based registry designed to monitor planned or unplanned pregnancies exposed to apremilast when used to treat an approved indication in accordance with the current approved prescribing information, who reside in the U.S. or Canada.

The goal of the Registry is to conduct an observational, controlled prospective cohort study that will involve follow-up of live born infants to one year of age.

The primary objective of the Registry is to evaluate any potential increase in the risk of major birth defects, specifically a pattern of anomalies, in apremilast exposed pregnancies compared to the primary comparison group of disease-matched unexposed pregnancies. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the potential effect of exposure relative to the secondary comparison group of healthy pregnant women, and the effect of exposure on other adverse pregnancy outcomes including spontaneous abortion or stillbirth, preterm delivery, reduced infant birth size, a pattern of minor malformations, postnatal growth of live born children to one year of age, and incidence of serious or opportunistic infections or malignancies in live born children up to one year of age.

The Pregnancy Exposure Registry is sponsored by Celgene Corporation and is conducted by the Organization of Teratology Information Specialists (OTIS) Research Group and is administered by investigators at the coordinating site located at the University of California, San Diego. The study is planned for seven years.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The number of major structural malformations identified in the children of study participantsThroughout pregnancy through 1 year of life

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of certain medications when used in the first trimester of pregnancy with respect to major structural birth defects in children of study participants. The study is analyzing the difference in the number of major malformations in children whose moms were exposed to apremilast compared to women without exposure to apremilast. Information will be collected from maternal interview and through medical records.

A pattern of major malformations identified in the children of study participantsThroughout pregnancy through 1 year of life

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of certain medications when used in the first trimester of pregnancy with respect to a pattern of major malformations in children of study participants. The study is analyzing the difference in the pattern of major malformations in children whose moms were exposed to apremilast compared to women without exposure to apremilast. Information will be collected from maternal interview and through medical records.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pattern of minor structural malformations identified by study physical exam in the children of study participantsAssessed when the dysmorphology exam is conducted, which will occur between birth of the child and through study completion, an average of 1 year of age

One secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of certain medications when used in the first trimester of pregnancy with respect to a potential pattern of minor malformations. Information collected during the dysmorphology exam.

Gestational age at delivery among infants in the cohort groupsAt the end of pregnancy

Another objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of certain medications when used in the first trimester of pregnancy with respect to gestational age at delivery. Rates of preterm and full-term delivery between cohorts will be compared, as well as any statistical differences in gestational age at delivery. Information will be collected from maternal interview and through medical records.

Any serious and opportunistic infections rates occurring in infants whose mothers are enrolled in the studyUp to one year of age of the child

Any opportunistic or serious infection, including any infection requiring hospitalization in the child. Rates of infections will be compared between cohort groups. Information will be collected from maternal interview and through medical records.

Pregnancy Complication rates between cohort groupsFrom the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) through delivery

Another objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of certain medications when used in the first trimester of pregnancy with respect to pregnancy complications. Rates of pregnancy complications between cohorts will be compared. Information will be collected from maternal interview and through medical records.

Pregnancy Outcome; rate of live born infants, spontaneous abortions, stillbirths, and terminations between cohort groupsAt the end of pregnancy

Another objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of certain medications when used in the first trimester of pregnancy with respect to pregnancy outcome (rates of live born infants, spontaneous abortions, stillbirths, and terminations. Information will be collected from maternal interview and through medical records.

Neonatal Complication rates between cohort groupsBirth of the child to 1 month of age.

Another objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of certain medications when used in the first trimester of pregnancy with respect to neonatal complications. Rates of neonatal complications between cohorts will be compared. Information will be collected from maternal interview and through medical records.

Pre- and post-natal fetal and infant growth percentilesFrom the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) through delivery, and up to one year of age of the child

Pre- and post-natal fetal and infant growth will be compared between cohorts. The study will analyze rates between cohorts for small for gestational age, those that are small for weight, length, and/or head circumference up to one year of age. Information will be collected from maternal interview and through medical records.

Any malignancies diagnosed in infants of mothers enrolled in the studyUp to one year of age of the child

Any malignancy diagnosed in the child up to 1 year of age. Rate of malignancies will be compared between cohort groups. Information will be collected from maternal interview and through medical records.
