Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 1 year to 100 years
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers

Study population: Pregnant women diagnosed with ASCVD or hypercholesterolemia associated with FH and pregnant women who have been exposed to Evolocumab (Repatha) during pregnancy and who reside in the U.S. or Canada

Who may be able to join

  • For all groups: Qualified subjects will agree to the conditions and requirements of the study including the interview schedule, release of medical records, the physical examination of live born infants, and 5 years of follow-up.
  • For the Specific Evolocumab-Exposed Cohort: Currently pregnant women (maternal report validated by medical records) diagnosed with ASCVD, or hypercholesterolemia associated with FH who have been exposed to evolocumab for any number of days, at any dose, and at any time from the first day of the LMP up to and including the end of pregnancy.

About this study

Official title: Evolocumab Pregnancy Exposure Registry: An OTIS Pregnancy Surveillance Study

This is a prospective observational registry study to evaluate fetal, infant and childhood outcomes in women exposed to evolocumab during pregnancy

Read the detailed description

This pregnancy registry will be conducted by University of California Research Center for the Organization of Teratology Information Specialists (OTIS) which is a network of university and health department based telephone information centers serving pregnant women and healthcare providers throughout North America. Participants will be enrolled on an ongoing basis through year 10 of the study and each will be followed from the time they enroll, through the 5-year postnatal follow up period for an overall study period of 15 years. Participants are recruited concurrently from callers to OTIS centers, from healthcare providers and through direct to consumer marketing efforts.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Rate of major structural defects

    Rate of major structural defects, defined and classified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program (MACDP) 6 Digit Code Defects List coding manual (CDC, 2007)

    Measured: Up to 1 year of age

Secondary outcomes (15)
  1. Pregnancy Outcome: Rate of spontaneous abortion

    Rate of spontaneous abortion where spontaneous abortion is defined as non-deliberate fetal death which occurs prior to 19 completed weeks post-last menstrual period (LMP)

    Measured: Up to 19 wks post LMP

  2. Pregnancy Outcome: Rate of elective abortion

    Rate of elective abortion where elective abortion is defined as deliberate termination of pregnancy at any time in gestation

    Measured: Through 9 month pregnancy period

  3. Pregnancy Outcome: Rate of stillbirth

    Rate of stillbirth where stillbirth is defined as non-deliberate fetal death anytime in gestation at or after 19 completed weeks post-LMP

    Measured: At or after 19 completed weeks post LMP

  4. Pregnancy Outcome: Rate of premature delivery

    Rate of premature delivery where premature delivery is defined as live birth prior to 37.0 weeks gestation as counted from LMP (or ultrasound adjusted date)

    Measured: Prior to 37 weeks of gestation

  5. Infant Outcome: Rate of minor structural defects

    Rate of minor structural defects where a minor structural defect is defined as a structural anomaly which has neither cosmetic nor functional significance to the child.

    Measured: Between birth and 12 months post natal

  6. Infant Outcome: Rate of small for gestational age

    Rate of small for gestational age where small for gestational age is defined as birth size (weight, length, or head circumference) less than/equal to the 10th centile for sex and gestational age using standard pediatric CDC growth curves for full term or preterm infants

    Measured: At birth

  7. Infant Outcome: Rate of postnatal growth deficiency

    Rate of postnatal growth deficiency where postnatal growth deficiency is defined as postnatal size (weight, length, or head circumference) less than/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.

    Measured: Up to 1 year of age

  8. Infant Outcome: Rate of postnatal hospitalizations

    Rate of postnatal hospitalizations as assessed throughout the 5-year postnatal follow-up period.

    Measured: Through 5 years postnatal

  9. Infant Outcome: Rate of infant reactions to scheduled vaccinations

    Rate of infant reactions to scheduled vaccinations as assessed throughout the 5-year postnatal follow-up period.

    Measured: Through 5 years postnatal

  10. Infant Outcome: Infant response to IgG-tetanus antibody

    Infant response to IgG-tetanus antibody as a biological marker to evaluate humoral immune response via a standardized assay test.

    Measured: Between 6-12 months of age

  11. Infant Outcome: Adverse neurodevelopment outcomes

    Adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes as assessed during 2 periods (between 16 months to 17 months 30 days of age and between 3.5-5 years of age) via standardized tests of performance

    Measured: Between 16 months to 17 months 30 days of age and between 3.5-5 years of age

  12. Breastfeeding/Lactation Outcome: Proportion of women who breastfed

    Proportion of women who breastfed (at all) in the first 6 weeks after delivery

    Measured: Through 6 weeks post delivery

  13. Breastfeeding/Lactation Outcome: Proportion who breastfed exclusively

    Among women who breastfed (in the first 6 weeks after delivery), the proportion who breastfed exclusively during the first 2 weeks of life

    Measured: Through the first 2 weeks postnatal

  14. Infant Outcome: Pattern of minor structural defects

    Pattern of minor structural defects where a minor structural defect is defined as a structural anomaly which has neither cosmetic nor functional significance to the child and a pattern is defined as the same 3 or more minor structural defects in 2 or more children.

    Measured: Between birth and 12 months postnatal

  15. Infant Outcome: Rate of postnatal serious infections

    Rate of postnatal serious infections as assessed throughout the 5-year postnatal follow-up period.

    Measured: Through 5 years postnatal

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypercholesterolemia; ASCVD; Pregnancy, run by Amgen.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of major structural defects (time frame: Up to 1 year of age). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Dec 2020.
