The objective is to evaluate the potential effect of exposure to dupilumab in pregnancy compared to the primary comparison group of disease-matched pregnant women who are not exposed to dupilumab, and the secondary comparison group of healthy pregnant women. The primary outcome of the study is major structural defects, and the secondary outcomes of the study are spontaneous abortion/miscarriage, stillbirth, elective termination/abortion, premature delivery, small for gestational age, pattern of 3 or more minor structural defects, postnatal growth of live born children to 1 year of age, postnatal serious or opportunistic infections in live born children to 1 year of age, and hospitalizations in live children up to 1 year of age.

Enrollment
500
Dupilumab cohort
Regeneron Research Site
La Jolla, California, United States
RECRUITINGRate of major structural defects
Defined and classified using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) coding manual that is used for the Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program (MACDP) classification of major structural defects
Time frame: Up to 1 Year of Age
Incidence of spontaneous abortion or miscarriage
Defined as non-deliberate fetal death
Time frame: Up to 20 weeks post-LMP (Last Menstrual period)
Incidence of stillbirth
Defined as non-deliberate fetal death
Time frame: At or after 20 weeks post-LMP
Incidence of elective termination/abortion
Defined as deliberate discontinuation of pregnancy through medication or surgical procedures
Time frame: Up to 9 months
Incidence of premature delivery
Defined as live birth prior to 37.0 weeks gestation as counted from LMP (or ultrasound-adjusted date)
Time frame: Prior to 37 weeks of gestation
Incidence of small for gestational age
Defined as birth size (weight, length or head circumference) less than or equal to the 10th centile for sex and gestational age using standard pediatric CDC growth curves for full term or preterm infants
Time frame: At Birth
Incidence of a pattern of 3 or more minor structural defects
Identified by a study examiner: Defined as 1 of the defects representing a structural anomaly which has neither cosmetic nor functional significance to the child
Time frame: Between Birth and Up to 1 Year of Age
Postnatal growth deficiency
Defined as postnatal size (weight, length or head circumference) less than or equal to the 10th centile for sex and age using standard pediatric growth curves, and adjusted for postnatal age for premature infants if the postnatal measurement is obtained at less than 1 year of age.
Time frame: Up to 1 Year of Age
Incidence of postnatal serious or opportunistic infections in live born children
Defined as any infection resulting in hospitalization
Time frame: Up to 1 Year of Age
Incidence of hospitalizations in live born children
Defined as any hospitalization of the infant within the first year of life after discharge following delivery
Time frame: Up to 1 Year of Age
