Brief summary

The WAKIX (pitolisant) Pregnancy Registry is a US-based, prospective, observational cohort study designed to evaluate the association between pitolisant exposure during pregnancy and subsequent maternal, fetal, and infant outcomes.

Detailed description

The WAKIX (pitolisant) Pregnancy Registry is a US-based, prospective, observational cohort study designed to evaluate the association between pitolisant exposure during pregnancy and subsequent maternal, fetal, and infant outcomes. Participation in the registry is voluntary and participants can withdraw their consent to participate at any time. Data will be collected from enrolled pregnant women and the healthcare providers (HCPs) involved in their care or the care of their infants, if applicable. The registry is strictly observational; the schedule of office visits and all treatment regimens will be determined by HCPs. Only data that are routinely documented in patients' medical records during the course of usual care will be collected. No additional laboratory tests or HCP assessments will be required as part of this registry. The design of this pregnancy registry follows current FDA guidance for designing and implementing pregnancy exposure registries.

Interventions

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Major congenital malformationEnrollment through the infant's first year of lifeAn abnormality of body structure or function that is present at birth, is of prenatal origin (i.e., birth defect), has significant medical, social, or cosmetic consequences for the affected individual, and typically requires medical intervention.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Minor congenital malformationEnrollment through the infant's first year of lifeAn anomaly or abnormality of body structure that is present at birth, is of prenatal origin (i.e., birth defect), poses no significant health problem in the neonatal period, and tends to have limited social or cosmetic consequences for the affected individual.
Pre-eclampsiaEnrollment through pregnancy outcomeHigh blood pressure and signs of liver or kidney damage occurring at \>20 gestational weeks.
EclampsiaEnrollment through pregnancy outcomeSeizures or coma in a pregnant woman with pre-eclampsia.
Spontaneous abortionEnrollment through pregnancy outcomeAn involuntary fetal loss or the expulsion of the products of conception occurring at \<20 gestational weeks.
StillbirthEnrollment through pregnancy outcomeAs defined by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), an involuntary fetal loss occurring at ≥20 gestational weeks or, if gestational age is unknown, a fetus weighing ≥350 g.
Elective terminationEnrollment through pregnancy outcomeA voluntary fetal loss or interruption of pregnancy, including pregnancy termination that occurs electively, to preserve maternal health or due to fetal abnormalities.
Preterm birthEnrollment through the infant's first year of lifeA live birth occurring at \<37 gestational weeks.
Small for gestational ageEnrollment through the infant's first year of lifeWeight, length, or head circumference at birth in \<10th percentile for sex and gestational age using standard growth charts for full and preterm live born infants.
Postnatal growth deficiencyEnrollment through the infant's first year of lifeWeight, length, or head circumference in \<10th percentile for sex and chronological age using standard growth charts
Infant development deficiencyEnrollment through the infant's first year of lifeFailure to achieve the developmental milestones for chronological age, as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
