Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this postmarketing commitment safety study is to evaluate the real-world safety of HZ/su vaccine during pregnancy in immunodeficient or immunosuppressed adult pregnant women between 18 and 49 years of age in the United States. The primary outcome of interest is major congenital malformations (MCMs).

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Participant who is pregnant with a pregnancy start date between July 1, 2021 and June 30, 2026. Live births are to be followed for 1 year.

• Participant is a female aged 18-49 years on the pregnancy start date.

• Participant meets study definition of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), psoriasis (PsO)/psoriatic arthritis (PsA), solid organ transplant (SOT), stem cell transplant (SCT), hematologic malignancies (HM), solid tumors (ST), or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Codes for immunocompromised (IC) conditions will be identified in the health plan claims of the Distributed Research Network (DRN) during the period 273 days prior to the pregnancy start date through the first trimester (98 days after the pregnancy start date). Diagnoses recorded through the first trimester will be included to account for women who may not have frequent visits prior to pregnancy and may have a more complete assessment of medical conditions during the first prenatal care visit.

• Participant has at least 273 days of continuous health plan enrollment with medical and drug benefits prior to the start of pregnancy through the delivery date, with gaps of up to 45 days in coverage being permitted. The 273-day pre-pregnancy period through the first trimester (a period of 98 days after the pregnancy start date) was chosen to allow identification of potential confounders of interest. In Sentinel projects, gaps of 45 days or less in health plan enrolment are typically considered administrative gaps (and not lapses in health plan coverage) and ignored.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Participant was exposed to a medication(s) that presents a known increased risk for fetal malformations.

• Participant delivered an infant identified as having a chromosomal or genetic anomaly.

• Ectopic pregnancies, molar pregnancies or induced abortions.

• Multigestation (e.g., twin) pregnancies.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Prevalence of Major Congenital Malformations (MCMs)	The prevalence of MCMs among live births from women with immunocompromised conditions exposed to HZ/su vaccine compared to those not exposed to HZ/su vaccine during pregnancy is evaluated.; An MCM (birth defect or structural defect) is defined as a defect, which has either cosmetic or functional significance to the child.	From birth up to 1 year of age
Secondary	Prevalence of additional infant/birth outcomes	The prevalence of additional infant/birth outcomes (preterm birth, small for gestational age [SGA], low birthweight [LBW], neonatal intensive care unit [NICU] admission, neonatal death) among live births in women with immunocompromised conditions exposed to HZ/su vaccine versus those not exposed to HZ/su vaccine during pregnancy is assessed.	Within 30 days after the infant's date of birth
Secondary	Prevalence of pregnancy outcomes	The prevalence of pregnancy outcomes that include non-live birth (stillbirth and spontaneous abortion) among non-livebirth pregnancies in women with immunocompromised conditions exposed to HZ/su vaccine versus those not exposed to HZ/su vaccine during pregnancy is assessed.	At or after 20 weeks gestation but prior to delivery (stillbirth) and prior to 20 weeks gestation (spontaneous abortion)
Secondary	Prevalence of pregnancy complications	The prevalence of pregnancy complications (placental abruption, preeclampsia and eclampsia) among livebirth and non-livebirth pregnancies in women with immunocompromised conditions exposed to HZ/su vaccine versus those not exposed to HZ/su vaccine during pregnancy is assessed.	From 20 weeks gestation through the date of delivery
