Pregnancy Outcomes From an International Registry of Patients Treated With Delayed-release Dimethyl Fumarate (P4.2-095)

2019 
Objective: To assess pregnancy outcomes in an ongoing international registry (NCT01911767) of women with multiple sclerosis (MS) exposed to delayed-release dimethyl fumarate (DMF) since the first day of their last menstrual period prior to conception or at any time during pregnancy. Background: Data from clinical trials and post-marketing reports show no safety signals with DMF exposure during pregnancy; however, the product label recommends use during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Design/Methods: In this interim analysis, DMF-exposed women were prospectively evaluated for live births, pregnancy loss, ectopic and molar pregnancies, birth defects, congenital anomalies or infant death occurring at ≤52 weeks of age, and maternal death at ≤12 weeks postdelivery. Data were collected at baseline (enrollment), 6–7 months of gestation, 4 weeks after the estimated delivery date, and 4/12/52 weeks after birth. Potential birth defects were adjudicated by an external expert. Results: As of 15 December 2017, 199 patients were enrolled in the registry; mean (SD) age was 32 (4) years. Earliest DMF exposure occurred in the first (99%, 186/187), second ( Conclusions: Consistent with previous reports, there was no safety signal for DMF exposure on pregnancy outcomes based on data from this ongoing registry.
