• Study description:
  The Kesimpta PRIM study is a secondary use of data, non-interventional study (NIS) based on Novartis' pharmacovigilance (PV) system leveraging data collected via PRIM using a set of targeted checklists with structured follow-up on pregnancies spontaneously reported to the Novartis global safety database (Argus). Although pharmacovigilance data may be collected from any country in the world where the product is approved, the anonymized patient level data will be analyzed at a global level in Switzerland. All prospective and retrospective pregnancy cases reported to Novartis global safety database mentioning exposure to Kesimpta in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients will be considered for this study except cases reported as part of Kesimpta registry study (OMB157G2403). The primary analysis cohort of interest will be the prospectively reported pregnancies associated with maternal exposure during pregnancy up up to 180 days before last menstrual period. Retrospective pregnancy cases are defined as pregnancy cases with known pregnancy outcome or known abnormal findings obtained from a prenatal test at the time of initial reporting to Novartis. The study is descriptive in nature and will apply until a maximum of 10 years from marker authorization or until 500 prospectively reported live births with known status of malformations are assessed, whichever occurs first.
