• Study description:
  The Mepolizumab Pregnancy Exposure Study is a prospective, observational, exposure cohort study of pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to mepolizumab during pregnancy compared to pregnancy outcomes in women who have not used mepolizumab during pregnancy but have used other anti-asthmatic medications (treated disease comparison group), and pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to other non-teratogenic agents, (non-disease comparison group). The purpose of the study is to monitor planned and unplanned pregnancies exposed to mepolizumab and to evaluate the possible teratogenic effect of this medication relative to the primary pregnancy outcome of major birth defects and the secondary pregnancy outcomes of preterm delivery, small for gestational age infants and spontaneous abortion or stillbirth. The study is conducted by the Organization of Teratology Information Specialists (OTIS) Research Center located at the University of California, San Diego.
