National Pregnancy Registry for Atypical Antipsychotics

February 8, 2023 updated by: Lee S. Cohen, MD, Massachusetts General Hospital
The purpose of the National Pregnancy Registry for Atypical Antipsychotics is to determine the frequency of birth defects among infants exposed to atypical antipsychotics.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The National Pregnancy Registry for Atypical Antipsychotics is dedicated to evaluating the safety of atypical antipsychotic medications that may be taken by women during pregnancy to treat a wide range of mood, anxiety, or psychiatric disorders. The primary goal of this Registry is to determine the frequency of major malformations, such as heart defects, cleft lip, or neural tube defects, in infants exposed to atypical antipsychotics during pregnancy. We are currently studying the following medications:

  • Abilify (aripiprazole)
  • Aristada (aripiprazole lauroxil)
  • Aristada Initio (aripiprazole lauroxil)
  • Clozaril (clozapine)
  • Dayvigo (lemborexant)
  • Fanapt (iloperidone)
  • Geodon (ziprasidone)
  • Invega (paliperidone)
  • Latuda (lurasidone)
  • Lybalvi (olanzapine-samidorphan)
  • Rexulti (brexpiprazole)
  • Risperdal (risperidone)
  • Saphris (asenapine)
  • Seroquel (quetiapine)
  • Spravato (esketamine)
  • Symbyax (olanzapine-fluoxetine HCL)
  • Vraylar (cariprazine)
  • Zulresso (brexanolone)
  • Zyprexa (olanzapine)

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Pregnant women not using atypical antipsychotics
Pregnant women who have not taken an atypical antipsychotic during pregnancy.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Rate of major malformations in infants exposed to atypical antipsychotics during the first trimester of pregnancy
Time Frame: Birth to six months old
The primary outcome for this study is rates of major malformations in infants exposed in utero to atypical antipsychotics during the first trimester of pregnancy. This data is collected through pediatric medical record review through the first six months of infants' lives.
Birth to six months old

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Maternal health outcomes
Time Frame: During pregnancy
Maternal health outcomes during pregnancy will also be assessed in women taking atypical antipsychotics during pregnancy (for example: weight gain, gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia)
During pregnancy
Neonatal health outcomes
Time Frame: Birth to six months old
Other neonatal health outcomes will also be assessed in infants exposed in utero to atypical antipsychotics (for example: birth weight/length, Apgar scores, NICU admission rates, and any other neonatal complications). Presence of extrapyramidal symptoms from birth to one month old will also be assessed in infants exposed to atypical antipsychotics proximate to delivery.
Birth to six months old
