Pregnant Women with CIS or MSOcrelizumabPregnant women with CIS or MS (in line with the locally approved indications) receiving commercial ocrelizumab up to 6 months before the LMP or during the first trimester of pregnancy (up to gestational week 13), due to accidental exposure, or in whom a decision to treat with ocrelizumab was taken as part of routine clinical practice.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Infants With B Cell Levels (Cluster of Differentiation 19 [CD19+] Cells) Below the Lower Limit of Normal (LLN)At Week 6 of infant's life

The event rate (percentage of infants with B cell levels below LLN) and corresponding Clopper Pearson 95% CI were reported. B-cell reference ranges by week of life (absolute counts) are defined by Borriello et al. 2022.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Percentage of CD19+ B Cell in the Infant Potentially Exposed to Ocrelizumab During PregnancyAt Week 6 of infant's life
Absolute CD19+ B Cell Count in the Infant Potentially Exposed to Ocrelizumab During PregnancyAt Week 6 of infant's life
Serum Concentration of Ocrelizumab in the Umbilical Cord Blood at BirthWithin 1 hour after delivery (at birth Day 1)

Serum ocrelizumab concentrations were measured in the umbilical cord blood at birth (within 1 hour after delivery) to evaluate whether there was placental transfer of ocrelizumab from the mother to the infant. At delivery, blood samples from the umbilical cord were collected. Ocrelizumab serum concentration below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ =156 ng/ml) was set to zero.

Serum Concentration of Ocrelizumab in the Infant at Week 6 of LifeAt Week 6 of infant's life

Serum ocrelizumab concentrations were measured were measured at 6 weeks of the infants life to evaluate whether there was placental transfer of ocrelizumab from the mother to the infant. Serum samples from the infant were collected.

Serum Concentration of Ocrelizumab in the MotherBaseline (gestational Weeks 24-30), gestational Week 35, and at delivery (within 24 hours after delivery) (at birth Day 1)

Serum concentration of ocrelizumab in the mother during pregnancy (time frame of blood sampling: Week 24-30, Week 35) and at delivery (time frame of blood sampling: within 24 hours after delivery). Ocrelizumab serum concentration below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ =156 ng/ml) was set to zero.

Percentage of Infants With Adverse EventsUp to 17 months

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and regardless of causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal (investigational) product.
