Study design details

Main study objective

To assess pregnancy outcomes in women with multiple sclerosis (MS) who are exposed to teriflunomide during pregnancy.

Outcomes

To evaluate any potential increase in the risk of major birth defects, in the first year of life, in teriflunomide-exposed pregnancies. To evaluate the potential effect of teriflunomide-exposure on other adverse pregnancy outcomes including any potential pattern of minor birth defects, spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, preterm delivery, small for gestational age at birth and at 1 year follow-up.

Data analysis plan

Comparison of the pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to teriflunomide for the treatment of MS, with those observed in women with MS who have not been exposed to teriflunomide during pregnancy, and to the pregnancy outcomes of women without MS.
