About this study

Official title: Post-Authorization Safety Study for Assessment of Pregnancy Outcomes in Patients Treated With Mayzent (Siponimod): An OTIS Observational Pregnancy Surveillance Study

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.

Read the 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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Prevalence of major structural defects

    A major structural defect is defined as a defect that has either cosmetic or functional significance to the child (e.g., a cleft lip).

    Measured: Up to 10,5 years

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Number of spontaneous abortion/miscarriage

    Spontaneous abortion/miscarriage is defined as non-deliberate fetal death which occurs prior to less than 20.0 weeks post-LMP.

    Measured: Up to 10,5 years

  2. Number of stillbirth

    stillbirth is defined as non-deliberate fetal death anytime in gestation at or after 20 weeks post-LMP.

    Measured: Up to 10,5 years

  3. Number of elective termination

    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.

    Measured: Up to 10,5 years

  4. Number of premature delivery

    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.

    Measured: Up to 10,5 years

  5. Number of preeclampsia / eclampsia

    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.

    Measured: Up to 1 10,5 years

  6. Pattern of 3 or more minor structural defects

    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.

    Measured: Up to 10,5 years

  7. Small for gestational age

    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).

    Measured: Up to 10,5 years

  8. Postnatal growth small for age at approximately one year of age

    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).

    Measured: Up to 10,5 years

  9. Developmental performance at approximately one year of age

    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.

    Measured: Up to 10,5 years

  10. Serious or opportunistic infections in the first year of life

    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.

    Measured: Up to 10,5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Sclerosis, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 14 inclusion and 35 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Novartis Pharmaceuticals (1-888-669-6682, novartis.email@novartis.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prevalence of major structural defects (time frame: Up to 10,5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 May 2024.
