A Worldwide Pregnancy Safety Study to Assess Maternal, Fetal, and Infant Outcomes Following Exposure to Efgartigimod During Pregnancy and/or Breastfeeding.

February 13, 2026 updated by: argenx

A Worldwide Pregnancy Safety Study To Assess Maternal, Fetal, And Infant Outcomes Following Exposure To Efgartigimod During Pregnancy And/Or Breastfeeding

This is a multi-country, prospective safety study of pregnant women exposed to efgartigimod or efgartigimod PH20 SC any time within 25 days prior to conception or any time during pregnancy. Women exposed to efgartigimod or efgartigimod PH20 SC only during breastfeeding will also be eligible to enroll. Background rates of major congenital malformations (MCMs) will be obtained from populations within the same countries/regions as the countries/regions in which the efgartigimod or efgartigimod PH20 SC exposed pregnancies were reported.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Pregnant women or women no longer pregnant at the time of study enrollment but exposed to efgartigimod any time within 25 days prior to conception or any time during the pregnancy.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Women with exposure to efgartigimod or efgartigimod PH20 SC any time within 25 days prior to conception or any time during pregnancy, or women with exposure to efgartigimod or efgartigimod PH20 SC during breastfeeding. The timeframe of 25 days prior to conception is calculated based on five times the efgartigimod half-life, which is 3 to 5 days.
  • Written/verbal informed consent or eConsent (depending on country regulations) (for adolescents under the age of majority, written/verbal informed assent or eConsent by the pregnant minor (where applicable) and written/verbal informed consent or eConsent by the parent/legal guardian).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • None

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pregnancy outcomes
Time Frame: up to 10 years
Pregnancy outcomes: Spontaneous abortion; Elective or therapeutic abortion; Fetal death/stillbirth ; Molar or ectopic pregnancy; Live birth (Preterm delivery; Fullterm delivery)
up to 10 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Congenital malformations
Time Frame: up to 10 years
Congenital malformations (CDC 2020b) identified in the developing fetus, neonate, or infant: Major congenital malformations (MCMs); Minor congenital malformations

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
