Clinical Trial Summary
The aims of the Pregistry International Pregnancy Exposure Registry (PIPER) are to provide
early signals of risk after prenatal exposure to medical products and to define boundaries of
safety for medical products. The goal is to assist prescribers and study participants in
weighing the potential risks of prenatal treatments on the wellbeing of mother and the unborn
offspring.
Specifically, the PIPER will estimate the risk of obstetric outcomes (spontaneous abortion,
antenatal bleeding, gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, intrauterine growth
restriction, postpartum hemorrhage, fetal distress, uterine rupture, placenta previa,
chorioamnionitis, Caesarean delivery, COVID-19), neonatal outcomes (major congenital
malformations, low birth weight, neonatal death, neonatal encephalopathy, neonatal
infections, neonatal acute kidney injury, preterm birth, respiratory distress in the newborn,
small for gestational age, stillbirth, COVID-19), and infant outcomes (developmental
milestones [motor, cognitive, language, social-emotional, and mental health skills], height,
weight, failure to thrive, medical conditions during the first 12 months of life, COVID-19)
among pregnant women.
Description:
Rationale and background: Given the limitations of animal reproductive studies, pre-approval
clinical trials in human populations, and post-marketing spontaneous adverse event reports to
produce evidence on the safety of medical products and vaccines (for simplicity, hereafter
referred to as 'medical products') during pregnancy, there is currently insufficient
information, particularly for newer products, for prescribers and study participants to make
informed decisions.
Research aims and objectives: The aims of the Pregistry International Pregnancy Exposure
Registry (PIPER) are to provide early signals of risk after prenatal exposure to medical
products and to define boundaries of safety for medical products. The goal is to assist
prescribers and study participants in weighing the potential risks of prenatal treatments on
the wellbeing of mother and the unborn offspring. Specifically, the PIPER will estimate the
risk of obstetric outcomes (spontaneous abortion, antenatal bleeding, gestational diabetes,
gestational hypertension, intrauterine growth restriction, postpartum hemorrhage, fetal
distress, uterine rupture, placenta previa, chorioamnionitis, Caesarean delivery, COVID-19),
neonatal outcomes (major congenital malformations, low birth weight, neonatal death, neonatal
encephalopathy, neonatal infections, neonatal acute kidney injury, preterm birth, respiratory
distress in the newborn, small for gestational age, stillbirth, COVID-19), and infant
outcomes (developmental milestones [motor, cognitive, language, social-emotional, and mental
health skills], height, weight, failure to thrive, medical conditions during the first 12
months of life, COVID-19) among pregnant women.
Study design: The PIPER will be both a safety surveillance tool and a prospective,
observational, comparator-based cohort study. Registration and participation via a website
developed for the PIPER will be voluntary. Women who are 18 years of age or older will be
encouraged to enroll as early in pregnancy as possible, although they can enroll at any time
during gestation. For analyses of teratogenicity, only participants enrolled before
informative prenatal testing will be included. Information will be obtained directly from the
mother; however, copies of specific de-identified medical records and prescriptions may also
be obtained from healthcare providers. Participant confidentiality and anonymity will be
strictly upheld. The PIPER will prospectively collect data on prenatal exposure to medical
products, potential confounding factors (such as maternal sociodemographic characteristics,
behaviors, obstetric characteristics, disease status during pregnancy, and measures of
healthcare utilization), and information related to the outcome of the pregnancy. Follow-up
will include regular contacts throughout the pregnancy and will continue through the infant's
first 12 months of age. There are two main approaches: 1) safety signal management and 2) a
hypothesis-based process that will investigate the potential effects of specific medical
products using the following three approaches: (i) unadjusted, (ii) restricted to women with
the product's approved indication, and (iii) further adjusted through multivariate regression
models or using propensity score (PS) stratification to account for imbalances in potential
proxies of severity of the underlying indication and other potential confounders. All
unanticipated pregnancy and birth outcomes will be reviewed and adjudicated by a Safety
Management Team (SMT).
