Post-Authorization Safety Study for Assessment of Pregnancy Outcomes in Patients Treated With Mayzent

Recruiting

• Conditions: Multiple Sclerosis
• Interventions: Other: Siponimod

• Registration Number: NCT04933552
• Lead Sponsor: Novartis Pharmaceuticals

Brief Summary

This study will utilize a prospective, observational, exposure cohort design to examine pregnancy and infant outcomes in women and infants who are exposed to siponimod during pregnancy to treat MS.

Detailed Description

The prevalence of each outcome in women exposed to siponimod and their infants will be compared to those observed in two unexposed comparator groups: a disease-matched comparison group of women who have not used siponimod during pregnancy but have been diagnosed with MS (disease-matched unexposed comparison group), and a comparison group of healthy women who do not have diagnosis of MS, have not had exposure to a known human teratogen, and have not taken siponimod in pregnancy (healthy comparison group). Pregnant women exposed to siponimod who do not meet the prospective cohort criteria will also be followed as part of an exposure series. All participants will be recruited via voluntary participant registration following informed consent by the pregnant woman for her participation. Participants may withdraw from the study at any time.

Exclusion Criteria

Women meeting any of the following criteria will be excluded from the cohort study:

Cohort 1: Siponimod-Exposed Cohort

1. Women who have enrolled in the siponimod cohort study with a previous pregnancy

2. Women who have used siponimod for an indication other than a currently approved indication

3. Women with exposure to any of the following medications within 5 half-lives prior to conception:

   • Cladribine (Mavenclad)
   • Based on the US label, animal studies indicate that there is positive evidence of teratogenicity for Cladribine
   • All other S1P modulators including fingolimod (Gilenya), ozanimod, etc.
   • S1P modulatros are in the same class of drug as siponimod
   • Teriflunomide (Aubagio)
   • The teratogenicity of teriflunomide is unknown and currently under investigation
   • Other anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody: same class as Kesimpta
   • New medications (marketed after 2020) indicated for the treatment of MS will be evaluated for inclusion/exclusion criteria as the study progresses.

4. Retrospective enrollment after the outcome of pregnancy is known (i.e. the pregnancy has ended prior to enrollment)

5. Results of a diagnostic test are positive for a major structural defect prior to enrollment. However, women who have had any normal or abnormal prenatal screening or diagnostic test prior to enrollment are eligible as long as the test result does not indicate a major structural defect.

Cohort 2: Disease-Matched Comparison Cohort (Comparison Group 1):

1. Exposure to siponimod any time from the 4th day post the first day of LMP prior to conception up to and including end of pregnancy

2. Women with exposure to any of the following medications within 5 half-lives of conception:

   • Cladribine (Mavenclad)
   • S1P modulators
   • Teriflunomide (Aubagio)
   • Anti CD-20 monoclonal antibody New medications (marketed after 2020) indicated for the treatment of MS will be evaluated for inclusion/exclusion criteria as the study progresses.

3. Women who have enrolled in the siponimod cohort or OMB157G2403 Kesimpta cohort with a previous pregnancy

4. Retrospective enrollment after the outcome of pregnancy is known (i.e. the pregnancy has ended prior to enrollment)

5. Results of a diagnostic test are positive for a major structural defect prior to enrollment. However, women who have had any normal or abnormal prenatal screening or diagnostic test prior to enrollment are eligible as long as the test result does not indicate a major structural defect.

Cohort 3: Healthy Comparison Cohort (Comparison Group 2):

1. Exposure to Kesimpta 166 days before or to siponimod any time from the 4th day post first day of LMP prior to conception to and including end of pregnancy
2. Women who have a diagnosis of a MS or a siponimod approved indication
3. Women who have a current diagnosis of any autoimmune disease
4. Women who have first contact with the project after prenatal diagnosis of any major structural defect
5. Women who have enrolled in the siponimod cohort or Kesimpta cohort study with a previous pregnancy
6. Women treated with Mayzent or Kesimpta for non-MS indication
7. Retrospective enrollment after the outcome of pregnancy is known (i.e. the pregnancy has ended prior to enrollment)
8. Results of a diagnostic test are positive for a major structural defect prior to enrollment. However, women who have had any normal or abnormal prenatal screening or diagnostic test prior to enrollment are eligible as long as the test result does not indicate a major structural defect.
9. Women exposed to a known human teratogen during pregnancy as confirmed by the OTIS Research Center

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Siponimod-Exposed	Siponimod	Pregnant women with MS exposed to siponimod during pregnancy

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Prevalence of major structural defects	Up to 10,5 years	A major structural defect is defined as a defect that has either cosmetic or functional significance to the child (e.g., a cleft lip).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of premature delivery	Up to 10,5 years	premature delivery is defined as live birth prior to 37.0 weeks gestation as counted from LMP (or calculated from first-trimester ultrasound-derived due date if last menstrual period uncertain or more than 1 week discrepant). Elective caesarian deliveries or inductions prior to 37.0 completed weeks will be considered separately.
Number of elective termination	Up to 10,5 years	elective termination/abortion is defined as deliberate termination of pregnancy at any time in gestation. Reasons for elective abortions are captured and are classified as due to medical reasons or social reasons.
Small for gestational age	Up to 10,5 years	small for gestational age is defined as birth size (weight, length or head circumference) less than or equal to the 10th centile for sex and gestational age using standard pediatric CDC growth curves for full term or preterm infants (CDC, 2000; Olsen et al., 2010).
Postnatal growth small for age at approximately one year of age	Up to 10,5 years	postnatal growth deficiency is defined as postnatal size (weight, length or head circumference) less than or equal to the 10th centile for sex and age using National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) pediatric growth curves, and adjusted postnatal age for premature infants if the postnatal measurement is obtained at less than one year of age (CDC, 2000).
Developmental performance at approximately one year of age	Up to 10,5 years	Screening of Developmental Milestones: one or more domains scored as abnormal on the Ages and Stages Questionnaire completed by the mother when the infant is approximately one year of age will define achievement of developmental milestones.
Number of stillbirth	Up to 10,5 years	stillbirth is defined as non-deliberate fetal death anytime in gestation at or after 20 weeks post-LMP.
Serious or opportunistic infections in the first year of life	Up to 10,5 years	serious or opportunistic infections are defined as any one or more diagnoses of tuberculosis, x-ray proven pneumonia, neonatal sepsis, meningitis, bacteremia, invasive fungal infection, pneumocysitis, septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, abcess (deep tissue), and infections requiring hospitalization identified in live born infants up to one year of age.
Pattern of 3 or more minor structural defects	Up to 10,5 years	A minor structural defect is defined as a defect which has neither cosmetic nor functional significance to the child (e.g., complete 2,3 syndactyly of the toes). Minor structural defects will be identified only through the study dysmorphology examination for live born infants using the study-specific checklist.
Number of spontaneous abortion/miscarriage	Up to 10,5 years	Spontaneous abortion/miscarriage is defined as non-deliberate fetal death which occurs prior to less than 20.0 weeks post-LMP.
Number of preeclampsia / eclampsia	Up to 1 10,5 years	preeclampsia or eclampsia reported by maternal interview with confirmation in medical record or report by medical record only is captured.; Preeclampsia is defined as a new onset of hypertension and proteinuria during pregnancy or postpartum. Eclampsia is the new onset of seizures or coma in a pregnant woman with preeclampsia. These seizures are not related to an existing brain condition.
