Population studied

Short description of the study population

The study population will include 2 cohorts of individuals enrolled in the RSVPR:
(1) those exposed to ABRYSVO between 32 weeks 0 days and 36 weeks 6 days and
(2) those unexposed to ABRYSVO during pregnancy.

Age groups

Adults (18 to < 65 years)
Adults (18 to < 46 years)
Adults (46 to < 65 years)

Special population of interest

Pregnant women
Study design details

Study design

This will be a US-based, observational, secondary database cohort study using primary data collected by the RSV-PR.

Main study objective

The research question is:
What is the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preterm birth, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and other maternal and neonatal/infant outcomes, following exposure to ABRYSVO between 32 weeks 0 days and 36 weeks 6 days of gestation?
The primary study objective is to estimate the risk of
(1) preterm birth and
(2) hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, following exposure to ABRYSVO between 32 weeks 0 days and 36 weeks 6 days of gestation.

Setting

This study will use data collected as part of the RSV-PR.
The RSV-PR will collect data from participants and the healthcare providers (HCPs) involved in their care or the care of their infants via concise data collection forms at pre-defined timepoints during pregnancy, at pregnancy outcome, and up to 1 year of infant age.

Comparators

Comparators must be enrolled in the RSV-PR, for which the following inclusion criteria apply:
(a) a resident of the US at enrollment,
(b) 18 to 50 years of age at enrollment,
(c) gestational age greater than or equal to 32 weeks 0 days at enrollment,
(d) evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent document or, upon waiver of written consent by the relevant IRB/independent ethics committee (IEC), verbal consent indicating that the individual (or a legally acceptable representative) has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study,
(e) authorization obtained for the relevant health care providers to provide data to the registry, and
(f) contact information available (for participant and health care provider).
Individuals excluded from the RSV-PR will not be included in the study (this includes individuals who meet any of the following:
(a) receipt of an RSV vaccine during pregnancy before 32 weeks 0 days gestation,
(b) multi-fetal pregnancy, or
(c) enrolled in the RSV-PR with a previous pregnancy.
Comparators are not exposed to ABRYSVO during pregnancy.

Outcomes

Pregnancy related outcomes: preterm birth, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia/eclampsia, HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets) syndrome, chronic hypertension superimposed with preeclampsia/eclampsia, postpartum hypertension, cesarean delivery, premature labor (without preterm delivery), premature rupture of membranes, preterm premature rupture of membranes, stillbirth, prolonged maternal duration of hospital stay

Maternal outcomes: Thrombocytopenia, Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), polyneuropathies (excluding GBS), other immune-mediated demyelinating conditions, atrial fibrillation, maternal death, most frequently reported maternal adverse events (exploratory outcome)

Neonatal/infant outcomes: small for gestational age, large for gestational age, low birth weight, admission to a neonatal intensive care unit, mechanical ventilation in the neonatal period, neonatal death, postnatal growth deficiency at 1 year of age.

Data analysis plan

Participant characteristics will be summarized with descriptive statistics for each cohort. Comparative analyses will be conducted for each outcome, if sample size permits.
Supplementary analyses will be conducted that include pregnant individuals who were excluded from the analysis population (i.e., those lacking health care provider confirmation of ABYRSVO exposure, pregnancy, or outcomes of interest).
If sample size permits, subgroup and sensitivity analyses will be performed to examine the extent to which changes in certain methods or assumptions affect the results.
