About this study

The goal of this observational study is to learn about exposure to tralokinumab during pregnancy, as well as atopic dermatitis (AD) during pregnancy.

The main question the study aims to answer is whether pregnant people who have been exposed to tralokinumab during pregnancy experience any differences in pregnancy and infant outcomes compared to women with atopic dermatitis who have not been exposed to tralokinumab during pregnancy. Participants are not required to take tralokinumab during the study.

Participants will be asked to:

  • Complete 1-3 phone interviews during pregnancy and 1-2 phone interviews after delivery
  • Release medical records for pregnancy and for their child
  • Complete an online survey about their baby's development at 4 months and 12 months of age
  • May be asked to have a study doctor examine their child

All information is collected remotely, and no visits to the study site are required.

Read the detailed description

This Organization of Teratology Information Specialists (OTIS) Pregnancy Registry, is a United States (US) based registry designed to monitor pregnancy and infant outcomes among women in the US and Canada. This study is a prospective, observational cohort study of pregnancy and infant outcomes in pregnant people with exposure to tralokinumab for atopic dermatitis compared to people who have atopic dermatitis who have not used tralokinumab during pregnancy.

Researchers will compare pregnancy outcomes of those who were exposed to tralokinumab during pregnancy to pregnancy outcomes in people who did not use tralokinumab anytime in pregnancy, or 16 weeks prior to pregnancy, but who may or may not have used another medication to treat their atopic dermatitis during pregnancy. Information about infant health will be collected through one year of age.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of Major Structural Birth Defects

    Major structural defects is defined and classified using the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) coding manual that is used for the Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program (MACDP) classification of major structural defects. All major structural defects will be adjudicated by the co-investigator on this study.

    Measured: Up to 1-year of age

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Number of pregnancies ending in Spontaneous Abortion/Miscarriage

    Spontaneous abortion/miscarriage is defined as non-deliberate fetal death that occurs prior to 20 weeks after the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP).

    Measured: Up to 20 weeks post-LMP

  2. Number of pregnancies ending in Stillbirth

    Stillbirth is defined as non-deliberate fetal death anytime in gestation at or after 20 weeks after the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP).

    Measured: From 20 weeks post-LMP to end of pregnancy

  3. Number of pregnancies ending in Elective Termination/Abortion

    Elective termination/abortion is defined as deliberate termination of pregnancy through medication or surgical procedures. Elective abortions are classified for medical or social reasons.

    Measured: At the completion of pregnancy; before 40 weeks post-LMP

  4. Number of pregnancies ending in Premature Delivery

    Premature delivery is defined as live birth prior to 37 weeks gestation as counted from LMP (or calculated from first-trimester ultrasound-derived due date if LMP uncertain or more than 1 week discrepant).

    Measured: Through 9 months of pregnancy

  5. A Pattern of Minor Structural Birth Defects

    A pattern of 3 or more minor structural defects occurring in at least two children in any of the cohorts and identified by a study examiner based on the study-related physical examination.

    Measured: Through completion of the study; an average of 1 year

  6. Number of children who are Small for Gestational Age

    Small for gestational age is defined as birth size (weight, length or head circumference) less than the 10th centile for sex and gestational age using standard pediatric CDC growth curves for full term or preterm infants.

    Measured: At birth

  7. Number of children who are Small for Age for Postnatal Growth

    Small for age for postnatal growth is defined as postnatal size (weight, length or head circumference) less than 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 1 year of age.

    Measured: Up to 1 year of age

  8. Number of children diagnosed with a Serious or Opportunistic Infections

    A diagnosis of tuberculosis, x-ray proven pneumonia, neonatal sepsis, meningitis, bacteremia, invasive fungal infection, pneumocystitis, septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, abscess (deep tissue), and infections requiring hospitalization identified in live born infants

    Measured: Up to 1 year of age

  9. Screening for Neurodevelopmental Milestones

    Screening for neurodevelopment performed using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ). An abnormal score is defined in the scoring guidelines. Abnormal scores of clinical concern are defined by test-based, standardized scoring criteria reported in the ASQ-3 User's Guide. These represent scores that are less than two standard deviations below the mean for each category. Borderline scores are scores that fall between 2.0 and 1.5 standard deviations below the mean. The ASQ-3 does not provide a borderline score range but they suggest that children be monitored when they have scores 1.0 - 2.0 standard deviations below the mean.

    Measured: 4 months and 12 months of age

  10. Number of Perinatal, Neonatal, or Infant Deaths

    Stillbirth is defined as non-deliberate fetal death anytime in gestation at or after 20 weeks after the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP). Neonatal death is defined as death of live born infant within 28 days of delivery. Infant death is defined as death of a live born infant >28 days old to 1 year of life.

    Measured: From 20 weeks gestation to 12 months of age

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atopic Dermatitis and Eczema, run by University of California, San Diego 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 17 inclusion and 19 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 28 Jan 2025. 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 Diana Johnson, MS (877-311-8972, mothertobaby@health.ucsd.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prevalence of Major Structural Birth Defects (time frame: Up to 1-year of age). 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 28 Jan 2025.
