• Study description:
  The Kesimpta Pregnancy Registry is an observational, exposure cohort designed study to examine pregnancy and infant outcomes in women and infants who are exposed to Kesimpta (ofatumumab) during pregnancy to treat MS. The study is expected to enroll for approximately 7 years and follow the pregnant women and their infant(s) over a maximum of 21 months. The primary objective is to estimate and compare the prevalence of major structural defects in fetuses/infants born to Kesimpta exposed pregnant women with MS versus 1) disease-matched pregnant women not exposed to Kesimpta, and 2) healthy pregnant women. The study will be conducted as two sub-studies, namely the Kesimpta-OTIS sub-study and the Kesimpta-DMSKW sub-study, identical in design, run in parallel aiming to combine (meta-analyze) the results obtained from these two sub-studies. Other outcomes of interest include: a pattern of minor structural defects, spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, elective termination, preterm delivery, preeclampsia/eclampsia, small for gestational age infants, and small for age for postnatal growth at one year of age, developmental performance at approximately one year of age, and serious or opportunistic infections in the first year of life.
