Study design details

Study design

The crizanlizumab PRIM study is a non-interventional study (NIS) based on secondary use of data from a set of targeted follow-up (TFU) checklists with structured follow-up on pregnancies reported to the Novartis global safety database. This study is single-arm, descriptive in nature

Main study objective

The primary objective was to estimate the proportion of pregnancies resulting in fetal loss (intrauterine death resulting in stillbirth, spontaneous abortion, or induced termination), among pregnant women exposed to crizanlizumab within 105 days prior to LMP or at any time during pregnancy

Outcomes

Fetal loss (intrauterine death resulting in stillbirth, spontaneous abortion, or induced termination), Congenital malformations

Data analysis plan

Data analysis will focus on the prospectively reported pregnancy cases. Descriptive analysis will be performed for prospective pregnancy cases including case disposition and maternal characteristics by providing the number and percentage of pregnancies in each category. Distributions of continuous variables will be summarized with means, standard deviations, medians, and range. Categorical variables will be summarized with proportions. Numbers and proportions (with 95% confidence intervals) for pregnancy outcomes will be reported. Adverse outcomes will be examined by trimester of exposure and concomitant exposure to hydroxyurea/hydroxycarbamide. Case details will be provided separately for retrospective cases.
