Impact of Diroximel Fumarate on Major Congenital Malformations in Pregnant Women with MS
An observational study aims to estimate the prevalence of major congenital malformations (MCMs) in pregnant women with multiple sclerosis (MS), comparing those taking diroximel fumarate (DRF) to those exposed to other disease-modifying therapies (DMTs).

study designDRF is an approved drug that is used to treat people with RMS.\n\nThis is known as an \"observational\" study, which collects health information about study participants without changing their medical care.
subjectsThe participants included in this study will be drawn from the population of adult women with MS who become pregnant between 29 October 2019 and 31 July 2030.
sample sizeThe study includes data in adult women with multiple sclerosis on pregnancies happening between October 29th, 2019 and July 31st, 2030.
randomized"eligibilityCriteria": "Key Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Last menstrual period (LMP) between 29 October 2019 and 31 July 2030.\n* Continuous medical Optum Research Database (ORD) and pharmacy (ORD and Market Clarity) coverage for a minimum of 6 months prior to and including the estimated LMP.\n* Presence of MS.\n\nKey Exclusion Criteria:\n\n\\- Pregnancies will be excluded from this study if they are exposed to any known teratogens from 5 half-lives (rounded up to the nearest whole day) before the estimated date of conception through the end of the relevant exposure window.\n\nNOTE: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.",
