Brief Summary:
The purpose of the OTIS Autoimmune Diseases in Pregnancy Study is to monitor planned and unplanned pregnancies exposed to certain medications, to evaluate the possible teratogenic effect of these medications and to follow live born infants for five years after birth. With respect to fetal outcome, it is important to evaluate the spectrum of outcomes that may be relevant to a medication exposure during pregnancy, and these include both easily recognizable defects which are visible at birth, as well as more subtle or delayed defects that may not be readily identifiable without special expertise and observation beyond the newborn period.

Condition or disease
Crohn's Disease Rheumatoid Arthritis Ankylosing Spondylitis Psoriatic Arthritis Psoriasis

Detailed Description:
The purpose of the OTIS Autoimmune Diseases in Pregnancy Project, Cimzia Pregnancy Exposure Registry is to follow pregnant women with or without a Cimzia approved indication who have or have not been treated with Cimzia during pregnancy to evaluate the possible effect of these diseases, and or this medication on the pregnancy outcome including child development and growth up to five years of age.

Pregnant women with a current diagnosis of an approved indication who have used Cimzia (certolizumab pegol) in the first trimester of pregnancy for any length of time from the date of conception.
Cohort 2 - Diseased Comparison Cohort
Pregnant women with a current diagnosis of a Cimzia approved indication who have not used Cimzia (certolizumab pegol) during the current pregnancy.
Cohort 3 - Non-Diseased Comparison Cohort
Pregnant women without a current diagnosis of an autoimmune disease and who have not used Cimzia (certolizumab pegol) at any time in pregnancy, nor have they been exposed to any known human teratogen during pregnancy.
Group 4 -Cimzia Registry, Not Qualified for the Cohort Study
Women who have used Cimzia (certolizumab pegol) for any length of time following the first day of the last menstrual period until the end of pregnancy who do not qualify for the prospective cohort study.


Outcome Measures
Go to

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Major malformations [ Time Frame: Duration of pregnancy and up to 1 year of life ]
    The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of certain medications when used in the first trimester of pregnancy with respect to major structural birth defects.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Minor malformations [ Time Frame: At dysmorphological exam which will occur at one time point between birth and 5 years of age ]
    One secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of certain medications when used in the first trimester of pregnancy with respect to potential minor malformations.

  2. Pregnancy Outcome [ Time Frame: Duration of pregnancy and up to 1 year of life ]
    Another objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of certain medications when used in the first trimester of pregnancy with respect to potential minor malformations

  3. Infant follow-up [ Time Frame: Duration of pregnancy and up to 5 years of life ]
    Pre- and post-natal fetal and infant growth, health and development
